Determine if view that appears was pushed or came from back button in navigation bar

Question

Is there a way to tell if a new controller came from a navigation back button or was pushed onto the stack? Id like to reload data only for pushing on the navigation stack, not

Answer 1

As of iOS 5.0 you can do this:

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];

    if (self.isBeingPresented || self.isMovingToParentViewController) {
        // "self" is being shown for the 1st time, not because of a "back" button.
    }
}
