I have searched for and found various q/a on this error, but have not been able to find any specific help for my issue (at least that my minimal experience allows me to understand).
I am loading a UIView from the app’s main menu, which in turn has several button options (call it submenu). One of these goes back to the main menu without issue ([self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]; ). Another button loads a UITableView (separate view controller), which loads fine. However, I want a button within this UITableView to go back to the submenu. When I use the above mentioned code, it goes all of the way back to the main menu. I can’t seem to find a way to create an action that goes back to the submenu UIView (submenu).
When I try to do a standard ['uitableviewcontrollername' presentModalViewController:submenuView animated:YES]; I get the error Application tried to present modally an active controller (I get the same error if I replace uitableviewcontrollername with self.
The error makes sense in that I understand that it is already active, but what I need help with is, what exactly is the proper way to do what I’ve described above? Thanks for your time.
For my specific needs, the following did the trick for getting back from thetableview:
[self.mapLegendViewController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];Gregory’s point is noted though, and I recommend reading the link he made as it is interesting as to how iPhone/iPad each handle these actions.
