presentModalViewController problem - iphone sdk - iphone

I am using custom tabbar without the tabbar controller. When I try to add the viewController using
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
edit: changed to presentsModalViewController.
which is for MFMailComposeViewController it works fine but it also removes the tabbar when I dismiss it.
For solution I had to present the controller on appDelegate.viewController like:
[APPDELEGATE.navigationController presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
edit: changed to presentsModalViewController.
This works fine and don't remove the tabbar. But the issue is when the iphone get locked after getting idle and I try to present the controller using this:
[APPDELEGATE.navigationController presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
edit: changed to presentsModalViewController.
It does not work.
In debug mode the code is executing but it is not presenting the viewController.
Many Thanks.

if you copied the Code right then you use
[APPDELEGATE.viewController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
instead of
[APPDELEGATE.viewController presentsModalViewController:YOURVIEWController Animated:YES]; on the second call

I have fixed it myself. The problem was I was reallocating the navigation controller in the
- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application
Thanks.

UIModalPresentationFormSheet is not shown in iPad

I have a view controller which works perfectly in iPhone.
But when I present it in iPad with UIModalPresentationFormSheet style, it is blank. Nothing is inside it.
When I show it without setting Presentation style, it is shown perfectly. I use following codes:
[viewController setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFormSheet];
viewController.view.superview.bounds = viewController.view.frame;
[self.navigationController presentViewController:viewController animated:YES completion:nil];
What would be problem and how can I solve it?

Going from Navigation controller to ModalViewController is not working and crashing

In my project i have used navigation controller to move to another but i have some view in which there is my custom navigation controller.
Please suggest me what should i do ?
I have tried doing like this but is occurring crash for me.
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:myVechileView animated:YES];
[self presentModalViewController:myVechileView animated:YES];
[self.navigationController presentViewController:myVechileView animated:YES completion:nil];
presentModalViewController:animated: takes a UIViewController not a UIView
if you are useing iOS 6 then use this..
[self.navigationController presentViewController:myVechileView animated:YES completion:nil];'
and if you are ruing on iOS 5 then
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:myVechileView animated:YES];
hope this help you

presenting a modal view controller

I have this same piece of code in two different parts of my app.
In one section it is executed perfectly, and in the other it is completely ignored. I've put in a breakpoint and watched the program go through each line of this code without loading the next xib/class it is supposed to.
Here is the code:
UIViewController *nextController = [[ClassNameViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"MatchingView" bundle:nil];
[nextController performSelector:#selector(setDelegate:) withObject:self];
[self presentModalViewController:nextController animated:YES];
Any ideas why this might be getting ignored and not presenting my viewController?
Try using ..
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:nextController animated:YES];
I had this code in viewDidLoad and moving it to viewDidAppear made it work.

Please assist with modalViewController crash

My app is crashing when I dismiss a ModalViewController via:
[self.parentViewController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
This modal view-controller ("MVC") is presented when a user clicks on one of the cells of a UINavigationController ("NavRoot") - here's the code for that:
MVC *modalView = [[MVC alloc] initWithNibName:#"MVC" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController: modalView animated:YES];
[modalView release];
The "modalView" which is loaded contains only 2 objects: a UIWebView object and a "DONE" button, which when clicked-on does the dissmissing via:
[self.parentViewController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
Except when I click on "DONE" - the app crashes.
When I run Instruments with NSZombies I do see the retain count reaches -1 but I can't tell what's causing this over-release.
The only thing I found which solves the problem is to either add a "[modalView retain]" statement in "NavRoot" - which is the viewController doing the presenting of modalView:
MVC *modalView = [[MVC alloc] initWithNibName:#"MVC" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController: modalView animated:YES];
[modalView retain]; // <<== new 'retain' statement
[modalView release];
or just simply never releasing modalView in the first place:
MVC *modalView = [[MVC alloc] initWithNibName:#"MVC" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController: modalView animated:YES];
// commenting out the 'release':
// [modalView release];
Both of these options throw flags when I run "Analyze" ("Potential leak of an object allocated on line 34"...) but they do fix the problem.
Still, I worry about this causing the app to be rejected by Apple from the App Store.
Any ideas on what may be causing the over-release? Or how I might further try to isolate / identify the problem?
attaching an image of Instruments/Zombies report:
Are u using iOS 5? I had the same problem when I switched an app from ios4 to 5.
ParentViewController is now called presentingViewController
What you can do though is in your modal view just call [self dismissModalViewController] and it should dismiss itself. I'm not 100% about that and can't check as I'm not near my mac, but I recall reading it in the docs,
If you do
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController: modalView animated:YES];
Then you should dismiss it like
[self.navigationController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
Rather than
[self.parentViewController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
Where are you trying to dismiss the view from? The actual modalView or the parentView? It seems to me that you are trying to dismiss a modal view that has already been dismissed and subsequently released.
To dismiss a modalViewController I simply just do: [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];.
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES] does not work on iOS 5.
I have built a category that add presentingViewController on iOS 4. (It disables itself on iOS 5.)
Just include 2 files, and it works seamlessly.
Please see backward-modal.
I hope this benefits you as much as it does to me; It makes your code more clean!

Customized UIImagePickerController issue when loaded a second time

I have made a UIImagePickerController with a custom overlay view in order to enhance the interface and it's working great the first time I load it, it's perfect.
The problem is that if I dismiss it and then shows it again I have a strange bug. the camera view and the overlay appear behind the NavBar and the TabBar of the previous view controller.
I have try different ways of implementing this but I can't get this bug solved.
Here is how I call my UIImagePickerController. It's inspired by this sample code.
[self.cameraOverlayViewController setupImagePicker:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera];
[self presentModalViewController:self.cameraOverlayViewController.imagePickerController animated:YES];
Once my picture taken, I dismiss the UIImagePickerController:
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
Definitly nothing special in the way of implementing it.
And here 2 screenshots:
And now taken at second launch:

Thanks for your answers !
have you tried something like that?
//hide all controls
picker.showsCameraControls = NO;
picker.navigationBarHidden = YES;
picker.toolbarHidden = YES;
Thanks for your help Peko but it was not that.
After hours trying stuff, I found out that I needed to launch the UIImagePickerController from the root controller.
This is maybe because I'm using TTNavigator from the Three20 library.
So in my case to have this working:
[[TTNavigator navigator].rootViewController presentModalViewController:self.cameraOverlayViewController.imagePickerController animated:YES];
instead of:
[self presentModalViewController:self.cameraOverlayViewController.imagePickerController animated:YES];
same thing for dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:
[[TTNavigator navigator].rootViewController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
