I have a parent view controller which is a rootViewController of the UIWindow. And this UIViewController has two sub views(viewcontrollers added). And when I tap a button in the right side subview-controller it should open a modal view. When I try to do this by using [self presentModalView:vc] from the right side view it collapses the whole UI. Hence I changed the code like, i.e I presented the modal view from the parentViewController through the AppDelegate. Because appdelegate has parentView's instance. When I do like this modal view appears without any problem.
My question, Is this the correct approach? Is there any clear procedure/documentation about presenting a modal view, do's and don't?.
And I am facing another problem is when I try to present another modal view over this first modalview it does not work.
Please clarify me.
Edited: added the code sample to simulate the issue. RootViewController is added to the window. RightViewController is the sub view of root view controller. When I click on the button on right view controller it will present the modal view controller as a modal view. Here is the problem. The modal view is not occur properly. I hope this helps you.
