Question

I have a View-based app. The first view that is loaded has a button which loads another view using this code:

AddPost *addView = [[AddPost alloc] initWithNibName:@"AddPost" bundle:nil];
addView.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
[self presentModalViewController:addView animated:YES];

What I want to do is provide a button on the view (AddPost) that will let me close it and go back to the original view. How can I do this?

It seems a little strange, but you can actually have addView call:

[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];

From the docs:

“The parent view controller is responsible for dismissing the modal view controller it presented using the presentModalViewController:animated: method. If you call this method on the modal view controller itself, however, the modal view controller automatically forwards the message to its parent view controller.”
