Question

I have a splitView in my app.I have a presented a Modal on click of button from the splitview’s detailview.In that modal I have opened popover which contains splitview’s rootview controller(which contains tableview).

Now I want to dismiss that modal view on didSelect of popover’s tableview.But it does not dismiss.
I have searched a lot for this and tried , but could not get any solution.

My Tried code is as follow:

//DetailView (Presented ModalView).m

    -(IBAction)popOverBtnPressed:(id)sender
    {
        LeftSideVCViewController *popUp=[[LeftSideVCViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"LeftSideVCViewController" bundle:nil];

        popView = [[UIPopoverController alloc]initWithContentViewController:popUp];
        popView.delegate =self;
        [popView setPopoverContentSize:CGSizeMake(300, 700)];
        [popView presentPopoverFromRect:CGRectMake(150,5,20,40) inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp animated:YES];

    }


    -(void)dismissModal
    {
        [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
    }


   // LeftSideView.m

    - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
    {
        DetailView *d=[[DetailView alloc]init];   
       [d dismissModal];
    }

// GridView.m

Presenting DetailView from a view (GridView)

-(IBAction)Grid_buttonPressed:(id)sender {

DetailView *rd=[[DetailView alloc]initWithNibName:@"DetailView" bundle:nil];
rd.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
    [self presentModalViewController:rd animated:YES];
}

How to do this ?
Thanks.

Answer 1

By writing DetailView *d=[[DetailView alloc]init] u instantiate another instance of DetailView.
The way out in this situation would be creating a delegate for LeftSideView

Somewhere above:

DetailView *instanceDV = [DetailView new];
LeftSideView *instanceLSV = [LeftSideView new];
instanceLSV.delegate = instanceDV;

And then:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{

if([self.delegate respondsToSelector:@selector(dismissModal)])
   [self.delegate dismissModal];

 }
