How to push controller from ExtensionDelegate WatchKit

I've got watch connectivity setup in the Extension Delegate of my watch app and I'd like to push a controller when a certain method is called. However pushControllerWithName:context: can't be called on the extension delegate.

Is there a way I could push a controller from the Extension Delegate?

Thanks a million

I found that adding the line below to get the root controller worked for me using Swift.

rootInterfaceController?.pushController(withName: "MapController", context: path)

As @dan has pointed out in the comments, you can get a reference to your root controller using [WKExtension sharedExtension].rootInterfaceController. From there you can use pushControllerWithName:context: to push a controller.

You could inherit WKInterfaceController and store the current controller in somewhere. 

class BaseInterfaceController: WKInterfaceController {
    ...

    override func willActivate() {
        super.willActivate()

        // store current controller with some weak reference
        XXXManager.shareInstance().currentController = self
    }

    override func didDeactivate() {
        super.didDeactivate()

        if XXXManager.shareInstance().currentController == self {
            XXXManager.shareInstance().currentController = nil
        }
    }

    ...
}
