Question

I can’t find the correct method on how to reload a modal view controller from within itself. I’m developing a very simple UI based app but I’m not sure how to do this.

I open the modal view with the following:

MainView *mainmview = [[MainView alloc] initWithNibName:@"submod" bundle:nil];
    mainmview.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical;
    [self mainmview animated:YES];

and then can dismiss it depending on iOS version. However this has no effect when used on what i need to be a simple restart button. Any help is appreciated.

You will have to implement your own “refresh” functionality – define a “refresh” method inside the modal view controller’s class and do whatever needs to be done inside it – if for instance you have a tableview that requires a reload or to refresh your views depending on new data, etc…
