dismissViewControllerAnimated doesnt load viewDidLoad again

Question

I have tried a few things which havent really worked (more things I have thought of).

When using [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil]; I need it to run the viewDidLoad method of the controller I am going back to.

How can I do this? I thought maybe in the completion however, it would access the viewDidLoad of this class rather than of the one im resuming to.

Answer 1

ViewDidLoad method is called only once. After dismissViewControllerAnimated is called parentViewControllers viewWillAppear method is called.

Write you code from viewDidLoad to viewWillAppear
