How do I dismiss a modal view?

[kjmcneish]

Typically, the user taps a Done button to dismiss a modal view. You can create an action method for the Done button that contains the following code that dismisses the view controller, which in turn hides the view.

In Swift:

Code: [Select]

@IBAction func done(sender: AnyObject) {
     self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}
In Objective-C:

Code: [Select]

- (IBAction)done:(id)sender {

[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
To see this code in action, check out Book 3: Navigating Xcode 5, in Chapter 7: The User-Interface Controls under the section "Switching Between Standard, Satellite, and Hybrid".

All the best!
