IOS Accessing a Modal View in AppDelegate

Question

I am trying to access a view in my AppDelegate.m. I was using self.window.rootViewController to get a reference to the active ViewController however, when I create a modal view with presentViewController I am unable to access the newly presented view. How do I obtain a reference to a modal view from the AppDelegate.m?

Answer 1

What you're looking for is presentedViewController:

UIViewController *vc = self.window.rootViewController.presentedViewController;

Answer 2

If the modal view controller was presented off the rootViewController, than you should be able to access it with the following command:

NSArray *childVCs = [self.window.rootViewController childViewControllers];

Your modal viewController will be one of the objects in that array.
