isBeingDismissed not set in viewWillDisappear:
ios, iphone, modalviewcontroller, uiviewcontroller
Solution
Your issue is how you are dismissing your modal view. How is rootViewController being defined?
When I call `[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]` then `[self isBeingDismissed]` evaluates to true.
When I call `[parentViewController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]` then `[self isBeingDismissed]` evaluates to true, whereby parentViewController is the UIViewController that presented the modal view (note: not a UINavigationController).
Problem
I have some code to clean up in my `viewWillDisappear:`, which I only want to use when the view is moving back to the parent view controller. ``` - (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated { if ([self isMovingFromParentViewController] || [self isBeingDismissed]) { NSLog(@"isMovingFromParentViewController or isBeingDismissed"); // clean up } [super viewWillDisappear:animated]; } ``` The view can be presented in two ways: it can be pushed by a navigation controller, or presented as a modal view controller (from the same navigation controller). If it's pushed, then popped (pressing the back button), my clean-up code runs. If it it presented as a modal view controller, then dismissed, the code doesn't run. I dismiss like so: ``` [rootViewController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]; ``` My question is: why isn't `isBeingDismissed` set when I dismiss my view controller?
