In my app, my root view is a grid view with cells. When I tap a particular cell, the modal view controller will pop up with details of that particular cell.

How can I fade out the grid view when my modal view is present?

Also, how can I dismiss the modal view when I tap anywhere in the grid view, which is behind my modal view?

    iOS 5 brought in a new UIViewController method, presentViewController:animated:completion: (documentation linked for you) and of course you probably already know about presentModalViewController:animated: (documentation says to use the presentViewController method in place of the older presentModalViewController, but this depends on if you are supporting iOS 5 & newer only).

    You can set animated to YES and use a fade animation, or set the parent view’s alpha closer to 0.0 (to “fade” it somewhat).

    The UIView documentation has some notes about fading things, including some sample code. Look at animateWithDuration:animations:completion:

    As for dismissing the modal view, wouldn’t dismissModalViewControllerAnimated: work?
