Show UIView from UIActivity

Question

What's the best way to present a UIView on a UIViewController from inside a UIActivity. I tried the code below but that's not working. Aside from that there doesn't seem to be any documentation on this.

- (void)performActivity {
    ...
    do some stuff
    ...

    [self.activityViewController.presentingViewController.view addSubview:toast];

    [self activityDidFinish:YES];
}

How is it not working? You attach your toast (dialog?) to a view in the ViewController and then tell it to finish so your view is also not visible anymore. — Totumus Maximus, Dec 29 '16 at 12:03
Well, I'd like to show it in the `UIViewController` that has the share button and shows the share sheet. — user4992124, Dec 29 '16 at 12:08
Why don't you use a modalViewController to present over your current VC? — Totumus Maximus, Dec 29 '16 at 12:12
Because it's a toast, not a complete `UIViewController`. It's basically just a `UIView` with some text in it meant as a notification. — user4992124, Dec 29 '16 at 12:15
In that case. Why not use an UIAlertView? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5863481/how-to-create-an-alert-box-in-iphone — Totumus Maximus, Dec 29 '16 at 12:20
If design is a thing then you might as well customize the alertview to fit your tastes. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7331396/custom-uialertview-iphone. — Totumus Maximus, Dec 29 '16 at 12:50

I managed to make it work by just retrieving the current UIView.

UIView *vc = [[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] subviews] lastObject];
[vc addSubview:toast];
