Question

Here is the code:

    - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    DrinkDetailViewController *detailViewController = [[DrinkDetailViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"DrinkDetailViewController" bundle:nil];

    [self.navigationController pushViewController:detailViewController animated:YES];
    [self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];

    [DrinkDetailViewController release];
}

I want to have a back bar to go to my root view from the detail view. How do I do it?

Answer 1

There’s 2 things that look a little weird here… hopefully fixing em will make the back btn show up:

    - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
DrinkDetailViewController *detailViewController = [[DrinkDetailViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"DrinkDetailViewController" bundle:nil];

[self.navigationController pushViewController:detailViewController animated:YES];

//[self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES]; <-- you just pushed a viewController onto the stack, and you're immediately removing it here and going to the root

[detailViewController release]; //<-- you want to release the *instance* that you created... not the Class
}

The UINavigationController should take care of the back button for you as far as I know. If not, I would check to see that everything is wired up correctly in your xib (if you have one). Good Luck!
