iOS Dismis stack of ViewController

Question

I'm developing a iPhone App, in which I'm changing the ViewController using presentModalViewController method upto 2/3 levels (e.g. Home-->Option-->Other-->More).

Now I want to get my app back to first screen or ViewController. If I use dismissModalViewControllerAnimated method, it just dismisses the current view controller only. But I want to clear the stack and start the Home screen again.

Thanks for any help.

good question..are you asking to go back to main menu altogether..or simply by dismissing each view animated?coz..i would like to know the former — Shubhank, Jan 23 '12 at 10:54

Set the delegates properly for each level. So if you press Cancel or Done in More, it will call somehting like [other moreViewDidCancel] inside of which, you will call dismissModalViewController:Animated: and notify its parent view controller (delegate) that is should dismiss( so, [option otherViewDidCancel]) and so on till the top level.

hey..man..although you did answer..i knew that method..but if you could know how to present the home screen without being animated..i had the same problem.what if i just want to come back to main menu...not just playing animation that you ar going back views.. – Shubhank Jan 23 '12 at 10:53
you can set `animated` parameter to NO and you will skip the animation – Michał Zygar Jan 23 '12 at 10:55
