I found this an superb tutorial on how to make multiple views quickly but I have come across a problem worthy of another tutorial which know one seems to cover. If you build a project that has say 10 views and you navigate to say view 6 and you want to go back to view 5 how would you do this?

I have tried for hours (newbie) to get this to work taking reference from the way view2 goes back to view one but I don't seem to be able to replicate it on other views.

Any help??

@FrankFlaps

In your IBAction for your switch to view 5 button, you would do this:

[view6 setHidden:YES];

[view5 setHidden:NO];

and if you wanted to make sure all the views were hidden except 5, just to make sure, you would just do [view/*(Number)*/ setHidden:YES]; for each view.

@331319 Click on your Xcode window and press command + b at the same time on your keyboard. Then click save all. Now try.

your an idiot this is not the easiest way to do it its alot more than 2 lines of code and it wont work with alot of people because alot of peolpe wont have the apdelegate because they arent doing this on their main view
