Checking if a UIViewController is about to get Popped from a navigation stack?

Question

I need to know when my view controller is about to get popped from a nav stack so I can perform an action.

I can\'t use -viewWillDisappear, because that gets called

Answer 1

This is working for me.

- (void)viewDidDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
    if (self.parentViewController == nil) {
        NSLog(@"viewDidDisappear doesn't have parent so it's been popped");
        //release stuff here
    } else {
        NSLog(@"PersonViewController view just hidden");
    }
}
