I need to know when my view controller is about to get popped from a nav stack so I can perform an action.
I can’t use -viewWillDisappear, because that gets called when the view controller is moved off screen for ANY reason (like a new view controller being pushed on top).
I specifically need to know when the controller is about to be popped itself.
Any ideas would be awesome, thanks in advance.
I don’t think there is an explicit message for this, but you could subclass the UINavigationController and override – popViewControllerAnimated (although I haven’t tried this before myself).
Alternatively, if there are no other references to the view controller, could you add to its – dealloc?
