UIView notification when modal UIImagePickerController is dismissed?

Question

Is there a way to call code when a modal view is finished dismissing?

EDIT:

I\'m sorry, I didn\'t clarify earlier. I\'m trying to dismiss a UIImagePickerControll

I don't think there is a specific notification yet can subscribe to, to know when dismiss animation is done,...BUT. You can implement viewDidAppear: in the view controller that presented the modal view. This is what I do, when I use the (to UIImagePickerController quite similar) ABPeoplePickerNavigationController.

In the callback from people picker, I remember the person tapped in the picker on an instance variable, like this:

- (void)callbackFromModalView:(id)dataFromModalView {
    // remember dataFromModalView as I need it when dismissed
    self.dataFromModalView = dataFromModalView;

    // now initiate dismissal
    [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}

then, in your view controller, implement this:

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];
    if (self.dataFromModalView) {
        //...present now view here

        // don't forget to reset this one
        self.dataFromModalView = nil;
    }
}

in effect, you are using the combination of viewWillAppear: and the dataFromModalView property as the "notification about modal view dismissed".
