Question

As shown in the screenshot below, i have a UITableView with some info and upon selecting a row an ABUnknownPersonViewController is invoked. In order to be able to able to dismiss that and go back to the UITableView I have this code:

ABUnknownPersonViewController *unknownPersonView = [[[ABUnknownPersonViewController alloc] init] autorelease];

[unknownPersonView setUnknownPersonViewDelegate:self];
[unknownPersonView setDisplayedPerson:personRecord];
[unknownPersonView setAllowsAddingToAddressBook:YES];

UIBarButtonItem *anotherButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Επιστροφή" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
                                                                 target:self action:@selector(goBackToView)];

unknownPersonView.navigationItem.title = @"Προσθήκη στις επαφές";
unknownPersonView.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = anotherButton;

navigationController = [[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:unknownPersonView] autorelease];
//navigationController = [[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self] autorelease];
//self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = anotherButton;

[self presentModalViewController:navigationController animated:YES];
} // didSelectRowAtIndexPath ends here

- (IBAction)goBackToView {
    [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];

}
- (void)unknownPersonViewController:(ABUnknownPersonViewController *)unknownPersonView didResolveToPerson:(ABRecordRef)person {
//  CallerIDAppDelegate *delegate = (CallerIDAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
    [navigationController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];


}

The problem (as you can see) is that when the ABUnknownPersonViewController is dismissed by the “Επιστροφή” button, which is “Back” actually, the view holding the tableView and the blue UIButton is moved a couple of pixels to the bottom!

Any help on what could be causing this?

It seems that adding this line:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES animated:NO];

in my viewWillAppear: made the view not to move when the modal view controller is dismissed. However now the initial position was already slightly dislocated to the bottom but fixed it by moving all the outles in IB to the top so it looks ok.
