Popping back to initial state

[rafaelkaufmann]

I have an application using left and right menus, and I've been trying to find a "nice" way to make it automatically navigate from an "inner" VC of a right menu navVC, back to the application's initial content, that is, the first content of the left menu. I found no way to do it other than hacking SASlideMenuRootViewController.m and adding a notification listener:

-(void) viewDidLoad{
   ...
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(returnToRoot) name:@"returnToRoot" object:nil];
}

-(void) didReceiveMemoryWarning{
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    [controllers removeAllObjects];
}

-(void)returnToRoot {
    NSLog(@"Return to root");
    [self tapItem:nil];
    [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"leftMenu" sender:self];
}

In the above code, [self tapItem:nil]; "pops" from the right menu, but without [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"leftMenu" sender:self];, the previous right menu VC is displayed inside the left menu!

So, is there a way to achieve this navigation by just issuing UINavigationController-style pop commands?

Sorry for the very late replay. I am not sure I understood correctly, if you need to pop out the right view controller there is a method of the SASlideRootViewController that pops away the right view controller:

-(void) popRightNavigationController;

I hope this helps.

Hi Stefano, sorry myself for the late reply. Ah, there it is. Don't know how I could possibly have missed it. 👍

Thanks!

So, popRightNavigationController does work, but it suffers from the same issue I initially noted: after calling it, the previous right menu VC is displayed inside the left menu! Also, on some cases, it does not slide out the right menu either.

Ok. I will have a look at it as soon as possible

Now you should call the UINavigationController method:

    [self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];

However it will only pop away the topmost view controller, if you need to pop away all the stack of viewcontroller you should call:

       [self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];

The dynamic example now uses it. I hope this helps
