Question

I am creating a project with Xcode 4.2 and using it’s storyboard. In one of the views I have a button that a user will tap and it will perform some calculations. If the calculations are correct I need to display the view that they just came from. I am currently using a Navigation Controller. When the app starts it loads View 1. When I choose an option it loads View 2. If I click the ‘back’ button in the toolbar it loads View 1 with left animation.

In my IBAction method for the View 2 calculation I have the following snippet.

[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"BackToView1" sender:sender];

But the problem is it loads View 1 using the left animation when I need it to load the right.

Would that be a custom segue? Am I missing something?

[Edit]
I just noticed something as well. When View 1 loads from my IBAction it appears it is initializing the AppDelegate again, whereas the ‘back’ button does not. I need to not initialize the AppDelegate since I am loading a data object at the start of the app. Calling init again kills my object.

You could try using the navigation controller to pop back. This will probably produce the effect you are after.

[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
