iOS Modal View won't dissapear after dismissed

[l0uismustdie]

Hello. The app I am working on consists of a few views that I present and dismiss from my appDelegate. I am using the same strategy to present and dismiss all the view:
-create an object for the viewController
-present the view
-call a function in the appDelegate to dismiss the view when I'm finished

However, I've just implemented a table view and this doesn't seem to be working the same. This is how it is presented and dismissed:

-(void)showProjects
{
	ProjectIndex	*pController=[[[ProjectIndex alloc]init]autorelease];
	[viewController presentModalViewController:pController animated:NO];	
}
-(void)dismissProjects
{
	[viewController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}

This is identical to how I have been accomplishing this previously. I know for a fact I am getting to the dismiss line but it doesn't seem to dismiss that view. Is there something different about table views?

Thanks!

So I have solved this problem but I am not sure why. What I did was change

vmAppDelegate *appDelegate=[[[vmAppDelegate alloc]init]autorelease];
[appDelegate dismissProjects];

to

vmAppDelegate *appDelegate=[[UIApplication sharedApplication]delegate];
[appDelegate dismissProjects];

But the truth is I am not sure why this works or what the difference really is between this two declarations.

It seems like allocating a new instance of an app delegate would never work. I believe your second try works because that's passing the pointer to "your" app delegate..which is what you actually want.
