Is there a function to finish a UIviewcontroller like in android?

Question

In android you can call the method finish() and the activity closes. Is there something similar in swift?

Answer 1

Not quite. In iOS land you have to more explicitly call viewController.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil) if your view controller is a modal or one of the various dismissal methods on UINavigationController if your viewController was pushed on to the screen.

In Swift 3 this function is:

viewController.dismiss(animated: true)

Answer 2

Simple Elegant Solution, write the below line to dismiss your current View Controller

self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
