    <p>I'm having lots of trouble displaying a fullscreen movie in my iPad app and then allowing the user to dismiss it with either the Done button or the "un-fullscreen" button on the player controls.</p> <p>Initially I was using <code>MPMoviePlayerViewController</code> for the movie presentation, but I wasn't receiving the enter/exit fullscreen notifications from its <code>MPMoviePlayerController</code> object, so I switched to doing it myself.</p> <p>I can make the movie appear fullscreen (although the transition is janky), but when either the "Done" or "un-fullscreen" buttons are pressed, no action is taken by the player. I've posted my code below:</p> <pre><code>- (void)startPlayingMovieWithURLString:(NSString *)movieURLString { // I get all of these callbacks **EXCEPT** the "willExitFullScreen:" callback. [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(willEnterFullScreen:) name:MPMoviePlayerWillEnterFullscreenNotification object:nil]; [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(willExitFullScreen:) name:MPMoviePlayerWillExitFullscreenNotification object:nil]; [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(didFinishPlayback:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:nil]; [self.moviePlayerController setContentURL:someExistingURL]; // "self" is a UIViewController subclass, and is presented as a "fullscreen" modal view controller from its parent // I'm setting the movie player's view's frame to take up the full rectangle of my view controller, but really I want the movie to be completely removed when the user presses "done" (that is, removed from the view hierarchy). Not sure when/where to do this. self.moviePlayerController.view.frame = self.view.frame; [self.view addSubview:self.moviePlayerController.view]; [self.moviePlayerController setFullscreen:YES animated:YES]; } </code></pre> <p>And here is the code for my didFinish callback</p> <pre><code>- (void)didFinishPlayback:(NSNotification *)notification { // This ends up recursively telling the player that playback ended, thus calling this method, thus…well you get the picture. // What I'm trying to do here is just make the player go away and show my old UI again. [self.moviePlayerController setFullscreen:NO animated:YES]; } </code></pre> <p>So obviously I am doing something wrong but I've been up and down the documentation and I can't figure out how to make the movie just go away. I figured it would be more intuitive than this. What am I doing wrong?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
