I am not able to refresh the old view on button click - iphone

I have viewBased Application, i have 3 view controller in that.
When I want to go back to first view from second view, I want that view to be reloaded from start.
Code I use to dismiss the present view is:
//Back Button Code:
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
//Code I use to go to new view is:
[self presentModalViewController:secondView animated:YES];

I am not getting what you trying to do...
put your logic inside viewWillAppear method... which gets called everytime view Loads..

When I want to go back to first view from second view, I want that view to be reloaded from start.
Wich one?
Well I think it should work since dismissing a modal dialog unloads it. What happens exactly that you don't want? You must have retained something you don't want to.

It's not clear if you want your first view to restart, or your second view to restart.
Answer for both cases:
If you want view 1 to restart, move the code you need re-executed into viewWillAppear()
If you want view 2 to restart, it's been released from memory so going back to it will call viewDidLoad() and restart it anyway.
Hope that helps....

iOS: return from pushed ViewController via delegate methods?

I've been wrestling with this for almost 2 hours now and no luck.
I have a View Controller. Lets call it First. I press a button and it takes me to Second view controller using a modal style. In Second I add some data which I can save or discard via two navigation bar buttons: Save and Cancel. both do what they do and then they return me to the previous screen. I implemented a protocol and I use the delegate. So far everything works fine.
Today I decided to have a Third View Controller which can be accessed from the Second VC. The problem is I couldn't move to THIRD until I changed the transition from First to Second to PUSH (instead of modal). Now I can go from First to Second and from Second to Third. All good again.
THE PROBLEM : If I press Cancel or Save on the Second VC, it calls the methods, it uses the delegate to go to FIRST and execute some function but when it calls:
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
nothing happens and Im stuck on the Second view. Basically I was using MODAL with Delegate and protocol methods... I switched to PUSH, and I cant get rid of my Second view and return to First. It seems like the dismissViewController doesnt do anything.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I can fix all this by removing the cancel button and using the BACK which comes by default with PUSH but I just want to know what the problem is with it.. THANK YOU !!
On your 2nd viewContrller call the UINavigationController's method popViewControllerAnimated: or popToRootViewControllerAnimated:. This will pop the controller (the one calling, which is the 2nd) off the nav stack. You can get the navigation controller in a UIViewController via its property navigationController.

IOS 5 SDK and Segues

I am creating a project with Xcode 4.2 and using it's storyboard. In one of the views I have a button that a user will tap and it will perform some calculations. If the calculations are correct I need to display the view that they just came from. I am currently using a Navigation Controller. When the app starts it loads View 1. When I choose an option it loads View 2. If I click the 'back' button in the toolbar it loads View 1 with left animation.
In my IBAction method for the View 2 calculation I have the following snippet.
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"BackToView1" sender:sender];
But the problem is it loads View 1 using the left animation when I need it to load the right.
Would that be a custom segue? Am I missing something?
[Edit]
I just noticed something as well. When View 1 loads from my IBAction it appears it is initializing the AppDelegate again, whereas the 'back' button does not. I need to not initialize the AppDelegate since I am loading a data object at the start of the app. Calling init again kills my object.
You could try using the navigation controller to pop back. This will probably produce the effect you are after.
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];

how to get back to one view to another view in view based application

I did a simple view based application.
what i did is creating view additional to existing view.
means there is one view named main in .xib file additional to that i am creating another view
IBOutlet UIView *view_additional;
In the main view by button click i call the view_additional view.
For the view_additional view i place navigation bar with one bar button named back.
In the back button click event i need to get back to main view.
for that in the button click action i write the fallowing code.
[view_additional removeFromSuperview];
But it is not open main view,shows a white screen.
what the wrong.
how can i get back from additional view to main view.
Thank u in advance.
for the code you used to display view_additional, instead of using self.view = view_additional
try using, on button click
[self addSubview: view_additional];
And once that's done, your code should work just fine the way you want.
When dealing with views, if you change a view, then remove it, as you did in your code, then all that will be left is the main app window. There will be no views on that window. From the look of it, you want to load up a new view, and then remove it once you're done with it. You can do this by adding the new view as a subview instead of totally changing the parent view. Another thing you can do is set an IBOutlet for the original view as well, this way you'll have an outlet for both views, and then instead of removing your additional_view from the superview, you can just switch it back. So the code for the Back Button would just be
self.view = original_view;
on back button click. I hope this isn't too confusing for you. Let me know if you have any questions.
Both methods would work for what you want to do.
I resolve my problem as
instead of [self.view = view_additional];
i use
[self addSubview: view_additional];
To get back to original view in the button click
i use
[view_additional removeFromSuperview];
MahesBabu, that is exactly What I suggested that you do. Only I offered the background info on why you should do it that way.
# MaheshBabu:
This is the common code u can use to go on next view or go on back, Just change button name which u want to press and the view name on which u want to go. For example on back button press u want to go on library view then write this code -
-(IBAction)backButtonPressed:(id) sender
{
libraryView *libraryview=[[libraryView alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
libraryview.modalTransitionStyle=UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical;
[self presentModalViewController:libraryview animated:YES];
[libraryview release];
}
Let me know whether ur problem is solved or not.

How to get back to previous view?
that is if a user click on "Save" or "Cancel"
it should display again the previous view...
main screen
I dont know how to solve it...
anybody please help me...
i will be thank full.
Have u tried using the dismissModalViewController method? should do what you are asking f or
Have you read "Using Modal View Controllers"?
If you presentModalViewController then the old view is still there "behind" it. You just need to call dismissModalViewControllerAnimated: on the original navigation controller.
If you are directly manipulating the view hierarchy by swapping out subviews, you will need to hold onto the old view in another member variable and make sure to retain it.

Only showing View after second Push on iPhone

I'm having an annoying problem, that may have a simple answer!
I have a ViewController (which contains a TableView Controller and Header View) which I am pushing on to a Navigation Controller - When I push it on the first time after launching, I get a blank view. When I click the Back button to pop it, it appears fine from then on until I re-launch the app.
Does anyone know an "obvious" reason why this would happen?
BTW- following the code in Debug, it appears to be doing all the correct things.. loading the ViewController variables if nil, etc. before the first view.
Thanks!
did you reload the table after data are loaded ?
[tableView reloadData];
