Navigating between 2 ViewControllers - iphone

Question

Im using Navigation Controller for my ViewControllers,I set my importantViewController as something like this to be its RootView:
UINavigationController *navControl = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController: vc];
[self presentModalViewController: navControl animated: YES];
Then, I pushView anotherView the FrontViewController like this:
[self.navigationController pushViewController:vc animated:YES];
After a button is pressed in FrontViewController another view will be pushed ViewA but it is connected with another ViewController ViewB the same way as this AGAIN:
[self.navigationController pushViewController:vc animated:YES];
(Which I think Im doing wrong when dismissing either of them with [self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];)
This is an illustration:
My problem is, I need to navigate between View A and View B then when I dismiss either of them it will got back to FrontViewController. Like a child of a child View. Thanks.

Answer 1

I think this is for dismissModalViewController, but try this,
From View B write code like this
[[self parentViewController].navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
and From View A you can write,
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
Or either you can use this,
[self.navigationController popToViewController:frontViewController animated:YES];
UPDATE
for (UIViewController *tmpController in [self.navigationController viewControllers])
{
if ([tmpController isKindOfClass:[FrontViewController class]])
{
[self.navigationController popToViewController:tmpController animated:YES];
break;
}
}
This is the best solution to achieve this.
Write this code on both of your View A or B.
Hope it works now :-)

Answer 2

There is one way #Prasad G indicated. But problem with this solution is you need the same object of frontViewController. You can't do this with creating a new object. For going to this way declare frontViewController object in appdelgate and while pushing it from importantVC use
appdelgate.frontViewController = // initialize
// Push it
While going back from view B
[self.navigationController popToViewController:appdelegate.frontViewController animated:YES];
Another solution is
for (UIViewController *vc in [self.navigationController viewControllers]) {
if ([vc isKindOfClass:[FrontViewController class]]) {
[self.navigationController popToViewController:vc animated:YES];
break;
}
}
Using this way you can go on any of view controller from any level of navigation stack.
Using the first solution if you have 10 view Controllers and you want to go on any of one so you have to first create object of all 10 View Controller in appdelegate.
This code may have spell issues as I just typed this here
Hope this helps :)
UPDATE
->You have impVC as your root view
-> You pushed frontVC
-> From there you Pushed VC_A
-> From there you want to push VC_B
so you are done with pushing and for coming back to VC_A you can use
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated];
Now you can again come on VC_B and again pop it. For going to frontVC from VC_A you can use popViewControllerAnimated and for going to frontVC from VC_B you can use the for loop i mentioned.
Please explain if you are looking anything else. If you are still facing issue please explain.

Answer 3

[self.navigationController popToViewController:frontViewController animated:YES];
Try like this i think it will be helpful to you.

Answer 4

In FrontViewController After a button is pressed:
ViewA instance
[self.navigationController pushViewController:ViewA animated:YES]
When ViewA disissmed
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
Load ViewB in ViewA
ViewB instance
[self.navigationController pushViewController:ViewB animated:YES]
On back viewB to FrontViewController
FrontViewController instance
[self.navigationController popToViewController:FrontViewController animated:YES];
On back viewB to viewA
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
