I have three viewController
First, Second and Third
from Second to open Third I use
Third *third = [[Third alloc]initWithNibName:#"Third" bundle:nil];
[self presentModalViewController:third animated:YES];
[third release];
Now I want return from third to first; then I set in viewDidAppear in second this code:
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:NO];
but for 1 second I see Second and I don't want watch it...how can I do?
You need to dismiss third view controller first and then second Viewcontroller. Do the following code when you want to go first view controller.
-(void)goToFirstView{
UIViewController *vc = [self parentViewController];
// UIViewController *vc = [self presentingViewController]; //ios 5 or later
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:NO];
[vc dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
How is the Third modal view being dismissed in the first place? Perhaps by the user touching a 'Done' button? If so, it is in the handler for the button that you want to dismiss both.
You can dismiss both as:
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated: YES];
[self.presentingViewController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated: NO];
This happens coz viewDidAppear is called everytime before the view appears so as soon as it appears you dismiss it and it disappears..
I don't think what u are trying to do can be achieved with modalViewControllers...
instead use a navigationController and keep adding your viewcontrollers onto the stack and when you want to goto the First view controller just call
[self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];
EDIT:
just thought of it this can be achieved by using delegation.. you make second the delegate of third and as soon you dismiss the thirdviecontroller send the delegate a message.In this message call [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:NO];..
and you are done.. (pretty easy if you know delegation.)

On didSelectRowAtIndexPath I want to return to the previous viewcontroller. I'm using this code, at the moment:
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
But, I don't want to pop from navigationcontroller. Because, when the user "clicks" on back button, I want to return to this view.
So, I want to back to previous controller without popping it from navigationcontroller. It is possible?
Thanks!
Try using [self presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:nil]; instead
It seems that you want to push the previous view controller ,you can use the UINavigtionController viewControllers attribute.
So you code may like this
[self presentViewController:[self.navigationController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:[self.navigationController.viewControllers.count-2]] animated:YES completion:nil];
I have a view that contains a ECSlidingView:
Bij clicking the '+' button, you enter another view, without the ECSlidingView:
Now, I would like to return to the first view once a user clicks on the 'Voeg Toe' button in the second view. I have tried using:
FoodViewController *myController = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"Voedingsdagboek"];
[self presentViewController:myController animated:YES completion:nil];
However, now the ECSlider does not work anymore. So I cannot navigate through the rest of the application. How can I solve this?
To go back to previous view you can write popViewController in buttonTapped Method.
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
Eventually I fixed it by using:
self.slidingViewController.topViewController = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"Voedingsdagboek"];
[self.presentingViewController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
The thing is: I have a modalViewController presented with a button that triggers an IBAction like this:
-(IBAction)myMethod
{
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
if([delegate respondsToSelector:#selector(presentOtherModalView)])
{
[delegate presentOtherModalView];
}
}
in the root view that is the delegate for that modalViewControllerI've implemented the presentOtherModalView delegate method and it looks like this:
-(void)presentOtherModalView
{
AnotherViewController *viewInstance = [[AnotherViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"AnotherViewController" bundle:nil];
viewInstance.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical;
[self presentModalViewController:viewInstance animated:YES];
[viewInstance release];
}
The problem is this second modalViewController is not being presented. It gives me the message wait_fences: failed to receive reply: 10004003... How should this be done?
Because they are executed exactly after each other (they don't wait for the view to disappear/appear), it doesn't get executed. Because there can only be one ModalViewController on the screen at a time, you have to first wait for the other ModalViewController to disappear before the next one is put on screen.
You can do this creatively how you want, but the way I did it was something like:
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
self.isModalViewControllerNeeded = YES;
And then in the underlying ViewController, in the viewDidAppear method, I do this:
- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewDidAppear:animated];
if (self.isModalViewControllerNeeded) {
[self presentModalViewController:viewInstance animated:YES];
self.isModalViewControllerNeeded = NO;
}
}
Hope it helps!
It is because the dismissModalViewControllerAnimated takes some time to dismiss with animation and you are calling another view to present as modal view before dismissing the 1st modal view so the presenting modal view call was rejected. You should not perform animations when you are not on the view after completely dismissing only you can call another view. To solve this problem call the present modal view after 2 or 3 seconds using time interval or use completion block for dismissModalViewControllerAnimated
You can achieve it by using this
[delegate performSelector:#selector(presentOtherModalView) withObject:nil afterDelay:3];
I try 2 ways to dismissed 2 viewcontrollers consecutively but only one of them got dismissed not the second one
method1
-(void) LoginDone:(NSNotification *)notif
{
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL]; //previous viewcontroller
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL]; //current viewcontroller
}
method2
-(void) LoginDone:(NSNotification *)notif
{
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:#"LoginDone2" object:nil];
}
-(void) LoginDone2:(NSNotification *)notif
{
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
}
I need to find out a way to dismiss both the previous viewcontroller and current viewcontroller consecutively.
This is now an old question, but it seems to be exactly the problem I am having presently.
Here what I did:
[self.presentingViewController.presentingViewController
dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
And it works for me. I hope it can be useful to someone.
By calling
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
you are telling self to dismiss the view it presented. Telling twice the same self object to dismiss the view it presented, will not change the result. In other words self cannot represent the "current view" and the "previous view" at the same time as per your comment to the code. self is just a single controller representing a single view, either the current or the previous one.
To fix this, you should send the dismissViewControllerAnimated to self (that presented the top-most view, I assume) and to the other view controller object that presented the previous view.
In other words, I would expect something like this:
-(void) LoginDone:(NSNotification *)notif
{
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
[self.previousController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
}
Actually, you could send just one message to the second view controller and both views would be dismissed (source):
If you present several view controllers in succession, and thus build a stack of presented view controllers, calling this method on a view controller lower in the stack dismisses its immediate child view controller and all view controllers above that child on the stack. When this happens, only the top-most view is dismissed in an animated fashion; any intermediate view controllers are simply removed from the stack. The top-most view is dismissed using its modal transition style, which may differ from the styles used by other view controllers lower in the stack.
I know this is an old question but maybe somebody will look for solution on this issue so here it is:
-(void) closeModalViews
{
[previousVC dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^(void) {
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}];
}
I like JPetric's idea, but first you must dismiss the current view controller's view and only then can you dismiss the presenting view controller's view.
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:^(void) {
[self.presentingViewController dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:nil];
}];
As far as I could understand you are trying something like below:
There are 2 view controllers.
You want both of them to be vanished.
Another controller comes in.
But the fact is only one controller is displayed, why you would need to dismiss 2 then?
You can use self.view.hidden=true; on the jumped viewcontrollers while animating back to the first viewcontroller. Using [self.presentingViewController dismiss...] is not working for me without hiding.
I have three view controllers. I used the flipsideproject template and then added another view controller.
There is a button on the first view controller that goes to the second view controller. There is a button on the second view controller that goes back to the first one. When switching between the first and second, those buttons always work.
It is the same situation with the second and third view controller. When I try to transfer between the first to second to third and then back to first, it does not work.
(1-->2-->3-->2-/->1) My poorly drawn diagram depicts the situation.
I had all of the back buttons connected to the back IBAction, which I thought was the problem. I then made another IBAction, but it has not fixed the problem.
1st view controller = MainViewController
2nd VC = FlipSideViewController
3rd VC = ChooseAlarmSound
This is for going 2->1 (this is the problem I think. It sometimes works)
- (IBAction)done:(id)sender
{
[self.delegate flipsideViewControllerDidFinish:self];
}
This is for going 2->3
- (IBAction)chooseSound:(id)sender
{
ChooseAlarmSound *controller = [[[ChooseAlarmSound alloc] initWithNibName:#"ChooseAlarmSound" bundle:nil] autorelease];
controller.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical;
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
}
This is for going 3->2
- (IBAction)goBack:(id)sender
{
FlipsideViewController *controller = [[[FlipsideViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"FlipsideViewController" bundle:nil] autorelease];
controller.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical;
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
}
You presented your 3rd VC (going from 2 to 3) using modalviewcontroller. But then you tried to go back to 2nd VC (from 3rd to 2nd) using another modalVC. That will not let you go back to the previous instance of 2nd VC. You need to use dismissmodalviewcontrolleranimated method to do this. Checkout Apple website on modalviewcontroller class reference for detail info on this.
As suggested by user523234, all you need to do is call
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]
in the
- (IBAction)goBack:(id)sender
method of the 3rd view controller, instead of what you're doing, which is creating another instance of the 2nd view controller and presenting it.
The reason it's not working now, is because when you press the done button in the 2nd view controller it calls
- (IBAction)done:(id)sender
{
[self.delegate flipsideViewControllerDidFinish:self];
}
which is sending a message the 2nd view controller's delegate, which you haven't set in the case where you're going from 3->2.
