2,338 PointsRefresh data when dismissing viewcontroller
I have a viewcontroller which leads to another viewcontroller with modal presentation. When I dismiss this modal viewcontroller, I want to refresh the data being displayed in the first viewcontroller. How can I do that?

Hope this gives you an idea.

2,338 PointsSo you're telling me that it is not possible to update/refresh/reload a viewcontroller??
Dominic Bryan
14,452 PointsHaha absolutely not, I didn't say that at all you just need to reloadData() in your segue method. What makes you say I said it wasn't possible aha
Dom
Malthe Pedersen
2,338 PointsBecause you said I needed to use a tableview instead :-)
Dominic Bryan
14,452 PointsNo no no I said "replace the necessaries such as tableView", so you would use view. reloadData() or what ever your view is called aha

2,338 PointsAhhh okay :-) The only thing I can do with reload, is this: self.view.reloadInputViews() ?

2,338 PointsIt didn't work btw.. This is my "prepare for segue" since its a modal; self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
