Question

I would like my UITableView to reloadData once my app is active again, after a user exits the application. I know I need to implement (in my app delegate):

- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application

but im not sure how to reference the current UITableView?

UPDATE:
My UITableView is a separate controller. It is actually presented as follows

AppDelegate > Root View Controller > Pushes UITabBarController modally which has a UITableViewController

Answer 1

following up on Ole’s answer above

add this when initializing the viewcontroller

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self 
    selector:@selector(becomeActive:)
    name:UIApplicationDidBecomeActiveNotification
    object:nil];

add the actual method in the controller

- (void)becomeActive:(NSNotification *)notification {
    NSLog(@"becoming active");
}

be sure to clean up the notification

- (void)dealloc {
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self];
    [super dealloc];
}
