Question

I have two views, viewA and viewB. I load viewB on top of viewA with

[self.view addSubview: viewB.view];

I wan't to remove viewB, but I don't how to do it. I tried

[self.view removeFromSuperview];

but this isn't working. How can I do this?

Answer 1

Call -removeFromSuperview on viewB.view.

Answer 2

To remove viewB's view from its superview, you need to call removeFromSuperview on that view.

[viewB.view removeFromSuperview];

From the UIView class reference.

removeFromSuperview

Unlinks the receiver from its superview and its window, and removes it from the responder chain.
