Question

I am developing an application which has several views. I create different xib & view controller for each view. To open each view on button click using code:

-(IBAction)NextView{
    NextViewController *screen = [[NextViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
screen.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
[self presentModalViewController:screen animated:YES];
[screen release];   
}

I use the same method from that view to open the next. To close a view I use:

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

How can I come back to the main view from the last view (say 4th view) from a button to start again, instead of closing each with button?

Answer 1

Try this:

[self popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];

Also the method returns an NSArray of the controllers that were popped if you need to keep a track, like:

NSArray *poppedControllers = [self popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];
