Transparent ViewController to See Parent Below?
iphone, objective-c, transparency, uiviewcontroller
Solution
@Josh Kahane set the view controller that will present the transparent view controller with this code at the `-ViewDidLoad` and be sure to set the alpha channel of the `UIViewController` View to be lower then 1.
Code:
self.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationCurrentContext;
Problem
I would like to modally add a view controller with a transparent background, so the parent view controller beneath can be seen. (This is in an app for iPhone, not for iPad.) I have tried this: ``` TextFieldViewController *vc = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"TextFieldVC"]; vc.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationCurrentContext; vc.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical; [self.navigationController presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:^{}]; ``` Without luck and given the view controller a clear color background. My view controller is in a storyboard if that changes anything.
