Question

probably a very simple question but can’t find the right answer anywhere. I am using XCode 4 and working on an iphone app, which probably sums up all the info that I need to provide.

Here it is:
– I created a ViewBasedApplication
– At some point depending on the user input, I load a TableView

But now how on Earth do I add a button or something to return? Note: I can’t use a NavigationBased app, that would be easier but would not work for me.

Help anyone?

If you used a UITableViewController, you may want to use a UIViewController instead. In the UIVeiwController, you can add a UITableView along with your own UINavigationBar or, if you don’t want to use a UINavigationBar, you could leave room for some type of custom UIButton. Either the UINavigationBar button or your custom UIButton action could trigger a close of your UIViewController.

If you add the UIViewController as a subview, then Cyprian’s [self removeFromSuperView]; would work. If you present as a modal as Jamie suggests, you could use [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];.
