Question

MainMenuViewController presents BonusViewController modally. I want to Dismiss BonusViewController then display a new BonusViewController, effectively “resetting” BonusViewController.

Im using notifications to call this method in MainMenuViewController

-(void)resetBonus{



    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];

    [self presentViewController: BonusViewController animated:NO completion:nil];


}

I expected BonusViewController to be auto-detected as I was typing it in the presentViewController call above but it was not and none of my viewControllers show up as I type which Im assuming means im doing this all wrong. Do I have to initialize the VC or allocate it before I can present it like this? Or can I even do this at all since im using storyboards?

I also tried this though I believe this method is deprecated

-(void)resetBonus{

    [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
    [self presentModalViewController: BonusViewController animated:NO ]; 

}

Did what Sumanth suggested but I get this message now:

so now I m doing :

#import "BonusViewController.h

....

-(void)resetBonus
{
BonusViewController  *bonus = [[BonusViewController alloc]init];
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:NO];
[self presentModalViewController: bonus animated:NO ];

}

the errors are all gone but when BonusViewController is presented the display is solid black, i can hear the sounds going but cant see anything on the screen

Answer 1

you should allocate and initialize the viewcontroller and present that using presentModalViewController write like this

BonusViewController  *bonus = [[BonusViewController alloc]init]; 
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
[self presentModalViewController: bonus animated:NO ];
