Modal segue no transition

Question

How to remove the transition effect from a modal segue when displaying the modal like this:

[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"SomeIdentifier" sender:self];

I know I can go into the storyboard and toggle between 4 different animations but I don't want any! How do I remove them?

I know I could say presentModalViewController animated: NO but I do not and can not call it this way. I need to use the performSegueWithIdentifier method.

Answer 1

In the storyboard you can select your segue and in the Attributes Inspector uncheck "Animates". That should do it.

Answer 2

Here's the full source of a no-animation segue:

BVNoAnimationSegue.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@interface BVNoAnimationSegue : UIStoryboardSegue
@end

BVNoAnimationSegue.m

#import "BVNoAnimationSegue.h"

@implementation BVNoAnimationSegue

- (void)perform
{
    [[self sourceViewController] presentModalViewController:[self destinationViewController] animated:NO];
}

@end

To use this, add the files to your project (e.g. as BVNoAnimationSegue.m/.h) then in storyboard, select 'Custom' as your Segue type and type BVNoAnimationSegue in the Segue Class box. After you've done this Xcode seems to be clever enough to add 'no animation segue' as an option when you CTRL-drag between UIViewControllers in future.
