从没有UINavigationController和后退按钮的推送视图返回，可以吗？

Question

I have a ViewController , for example startingScreenViewController . I have a push segue from an item on this view to another view ( someViewController ) which is a ViewController that has a TableView (not TableViewController of course) in it. Now, without having a back button I want to go back to the first view by tapping on a cell in table view. I have written my cell delegate:

-(void) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
}

I tried using

[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];

and obviously it didn't work, since I don't have a navigationController . I even tried to segue back to the startingScreenViewController which was a stupid thing to do and also didn't work.

I'm in need of some help, and suggestions would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

I don't know how you manage to open someViewController with push segue without UINavigationController , but if it works, try to use this code:

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
   [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}

And, of course, check, is your view controller delegate of table view .

Answer 2

The short answer is to not use a push segue when you don't have a navigation controller. That should not work at all, and the fact that it does work is an accident. There is no guarantee that it will continue to work in the future.

Use a modal presentViewController:animated:completion call, the dismiss it using the corresponding call.
