copied!<p>I need to have a new view(w/ ViewController) added over the top of another. The user interacts with this new view for a while, and then I want to remove it. In an older version of Xcode I was able to add it as a subview. I now get an EXC_BAD_ACCESS error.</p> <p>I don't want the added view as a modal. I need to see the original background through the added view. I've read a lot about the new custom containerViews, addChildView, & presentView. I can't see that any of these are the clear answer.</p> <p>Here's the old code that worked before - Action in the main ViewController:</p> <pre><code>-(IBAction)showWhiteView:(id)sender { WhiteViewController *whiteView = [[WhiteViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"WhiteViewController" bundle:nil]; [self.view addSubview:whiteView.view]; } </code></pre> <p>Action in the added view to remove it:</p> <pre><code>-(IBAction)removeView:(id)sender { [self.view removeFromSuperview]; } </code></pre> <p>Thanks for your help.</p> <p>Maybe a VISUAL EXAMPLE will help explain - Let's say the main view is an ocean, with animated waves and clouds moving controlled by MainView Controller. The user taps something and a I want to add a boat(WhiteView) to the main view. I want the user to interact with boat: tap here the sail opens, tap there the anchor drops, etc. (needing the methods of the WhiteViewController) Eventually I want to remove the boat from the ocean.</p> <p>Thanks Tim - New code added:</p> <pre><code>-(IBAction)showWhiteView:(id)sender { WhiteViewController *whiteView = [[WhiteViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"WhiteViewController" bundle:nil]; [self addChildViewController:whiteView]; [whiteView didMoveToParentViewController:self]; [self.view addSubview:whiteView.view]; } </code></pre> <p>and within the WhiteViewController to remove:</p> <pre><code>-(IBAction)removeView:(id)sender { [self.view removeFromSuperview]; [self removeFromParentViewController]; } </code></pre> <p>I look forward to any further suggestions on making this better. Thanks all!</p>
