Cannot dismiss Modal View Controller after trying several options

Hi have this problem of a view that cannot be closed. I have read a lot of Q&As and I tried

[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]

once it did not work I have tried calling the parent view:

[self.parentViewController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];

then there was a discussion on what is working on iOS 5 and later and I tried this code:

 if ([self respondsToSelector:@selector(presentingViewController)]){
     [self.presentingViewController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
 } else {
     [self.parentViewController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
 }

The last thing I have tried was adding the following code to make the call from the main thread:

[self performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(dismissSelf) withObject:nil waitUntilDone:NO];

Eventually, I have no solution to the problem as nothing works for me. I will be glad to see the "killer" line that makes it to work.

Thanks, Simon

Your problem (based on your comment) is you are technically not using a modal, you are using a subview!

If you want to use a modal you need to do:

[self presentModalViewController:self.fav animated:YES];

to present your controller, instead of: [self.view addSubview:_fav.view];

Then your dismissal will work (many of your solutions will work):

[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];

Otherwise if you do wish to use a subview you would need to do this to remove it:

[self.fav.view removeFromSuperview];

(It also looks like you are using ivars. If you wish to keep using them then replace self.fav with _fav)
