Having Trouble With Modal View Presentation

[cityofangels]

I have a UINavigationController that is being presented modally. There are then 4 VCs that are pushed to before the modal view is being dismissed.

The problem is, after it is dismissed, and I try presenting it again, it presents the last VC instead of the first one. How can I fix this?

VC1:

- (void)showNewMenu
{
    self.optionsNavController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical;
    [self.navigationController presentModalViewController:self.optionsNavController animated:YES];
}

VC2:

- (void)dismissModalView
{
    [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}

Either alloc and release in the showNewMenu and ditch the ivar or dismiss all of optionsNavController's modal views before you dismiss optionNavController.

Hmm how do I alloc and release it? Are you referring to OptionsNavController?

And how would I dismiss all the modal views before dismissing optionsNavController? Just dismiss then as they are being passed to the next VC?

By alloc and release, I just mean create it in the method, don't leave it in memory as an iVar. You could first call dismiss modal view controller on the parent view controller. Then call dismiss on the parent's parent view controller.

I did this, but it loads a blank nav controller.

- (void)showModalView
{
    UINavigationController *optionsNavController1 = [[UINavigationController alloc]init];
    NewSearch *vc = [[NewSearch alloc]initWithNibName:@"NewSearch" bundle:nil];
    optionsNavController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: vc, nil];
    optionsNavController1.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical;
    [self presentModalViewController:optionsNavController1 animated:YES];
    [optionsNavController1 release];
    [vc release];
}

This modal VC should push to 3 more vc before finally being dismissed.

Alloc the newSearch first and then alloc the nav controller using initWithRootViewController. It's much cleaner that way and I haven't really done it any other way so I don't know if your way works.

Ok so I have this, but it just brings up a blank navcontroller.

- (void)showModalView
{
    NewSearch *vc = [[NewSearch alloc]initWithNibName:@"NewSearch" bundle:nil];
    UINavigationController *optionsNavController1 = [[UINavigationController alloc]init];
    optionsNavController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: vc, nil];
    optionsNavController1.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical;
    [self presentModalViewController:optionsNavController1 animated:YES];
    [optionsNavController1 release];
    [vc release];
}
