Show transparent background for modal view

Question

I want to show a modal view via my navigation controller, and background of this view should be transparent. In the modal view controller I clear background on viewDidLoad as follow:

self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

I show this view as follow:

ModalViewController *modalViewController = [[ModalViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController presentViewController:modalViewController animated:YES completion:nil];

As result my view is shown, but background is black. I've tried to do:

[self setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationCurrentContext];

For all my view controllers, include NavigationController. I've tried to do:

self.navigationController.providesPresentationContextTransitionStyle = YES;
self.navigationController.definesPresentationContext = YES;

However all of this doesn't work. Is it possible to implement my task, or I should show my view using another way?

Answer 1

Have you checked out this question on SO Display clearColor UIViewController over UIViewController ?

It seems to have the answer to your question. Basically you have to set presentation style to 'UIModalPresentationCurrentContext'.

Answer 2

I used UIModalPresentationCurrentContext instead of the UIModalPresentationOverCurrentContext. Using the UIModalPresentationOverCurrentContext fixed this issue.
