Transparent ViewController to See Parent Below?

Question

I would like to modally add a view controller with a transparent background, so the parent view controller beneath can be seen. (This is in an app for iPhone, not for iPad.)

Answer 1

@Josh Kahane set the view controller that will present the transparent view controller with this code at the -ViewDidLoad and be sure to set the alpha channel of the UIViewController View to be lower then 1.

Code:

self.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationCurrentContext;
