Present a modal view controller with transparent background

Question

I want to present a UIViewController programmatically which should show up (or not, rather) with transparent background. I want it for iOS 7.0 and above. I\'ve

Answer 1

Suppose, we're in FirstViewController

//Obj-C
- (void) presentSecondVC {
    SecondViewController *vc = [[SecondViewController alloc] init];
    [self addChildViewController:vc];
    [self didMoveToParentViewController:vc];
}

//Swift
func presentSecondVC() {
    let vc = SecondViewController.init()
    self.addChildViewController(vc)
    self.didMove(toParentViewController: vc)
}

Some of you may need to write above method like this,

//Obj-C
- (void) presentSecondVC {
    SecondViewController *vc = [[SecondViewController alloc] init];
    vc.view.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,width,height); //Your own CGRect
    [self.view addSubview:vc.view]; //If you don't want to show inside a specific view
    [self addChildViewController:vc];
    [self didMoveToParentViewController:vc];
    //for someone, may need to do this.
    //[self.navigationController addChildViewController:vc];
    //[self.navigationController didMoveToParentViewController:vc];   
}

//Swift
func presentSecondVC() {
    let vc = SecondViewController.init()
    vc.view.frame = CGRect.init(x: 0, y: 0, width: width, height: height) //Your own CGRect
    self.view.addSubview(vc.view) //If you don't want to show inside a specific view.
    self.addChildViewController(vc)
    self.didMove(toParentViewController: vc)
    //for someone, may need to do this.
    //self.navigationController?.addChildViewController(vc)
    //self.navigationController?.didMove(toParentViewController: vc)
}

Now in SecondViewController when you want to go back

//Obj-C
- (void) goBack {
    [self removeFromParentViewController];
}

//Swift
func goBack() {
    self.removeFromParentViewController()
}

Do play well (with each scenario) :)

And yes, this will not show an animation, in my case, I'm showing a custom popup inside vc though it looks nice with this code!
