Question

Okay, so I want to be able to have a TabBar Controller with two Tabs (like the template in Xcode), but inside the Second tab, I want to have a button that takes the view to a Third View Controller. I want the Third View Controller to have a back button to the Second Tab, I don’t want the Third View to retain the TabBar, but when I go back to the Second Tab I want the TabBar to return.

So this is what I actually did, and it doesn’t work. I put a button in 2nd view and 3rd view, and I control clicked and dragged to the respective views, and clicked modal. Everything works, except when I go back to the 2nd view I lose the tab bar.

Pictures of what I am talking about:

Answer 1

You don’t need a separate modal Segue back to the Second View Controller, you can just dismiss the modal view controller when “Back to Second View” is clicked

[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
