Question

I have a view that I wish to present to the user in the standard way (sliding up from the bottom of the screen). About half this view is a transparent background and the bottom half has some input fields (imagine the way the keyboard pops up). When I call [self presentViewController] on the rootViewController, it slides the view up, but then about half a second later, where the view used to be transparent it is replaced with black instead. This happens with both presentViewController and presentModalViewController. How to change this behaviour?

Answer 1

In the end, it looks like it’s not possible for it to be transparent, I’ve got around this by adding this view as a subview outside of the bounds of the root view controller, and then slid it into place using an animation block. Not a lot of extra code, but it would have been nice to be able to use standard iOS behaviour to do it.
