dismissModalViewController = EXC_BAD_ACCESS

Question

I have a modal UIView that is also a delegate so when it comes out it sends some variables back to my DetailViewController. I know the proper way to dismiss the presented ModalViewController is to dismiss it from my DetailView (the one who presents the modal view). The problem is if the modalview is a tableview it works fine but somehow this is not working.

-(void)pickDateControllerFinished:(PickDateController *)controller{
dateSelected = [controller.datePicker date];
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];

NSLog(@"DateSelected %@", dateSelected);
}

So the variable actually passes but the View just won't dismiss. I'm using IOS5 with storyboard, no ARC.

I get "EXC_BAD_ACCESS"

I also tried using:

[self.presentingViewController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]; // no errors but this doesn't dismiss

Running out of options here... Any sugestions ?

Answer 1

You should try

[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
