How to go back to RootViewController from presentView controller?

Question

I am developing a iPhone Photos Gallery app and In my app I created one folder into gallery and that gallery folder is shown up into my app and while use click on Image its navigate to the next view controller where he can see a full size image and I set trash button there so user can delete that photos and my trashButton code is :

@IBAction func btnTrash(sender: AnyObject) {

    let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Delete Image", message: "Are You Sure To delete this Image?", preferredStyle: .Alert)
    alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Yes", style: .Default, handler: {(alertAction)in
        //Delete Photo

        PHPhotoLibrary.sharedPhotoLibrary().performChanges({
            let request = PHAssetCollectionChangeRequest(forAssetCollection: self.assetCollection)
            request.removeAssets([self.photosAsset[self.index]])
            }, completionHandler: {(success, error )in
                NSLog("\nDeleted Image -> %@", (success ? "Success" : "Error"))
                alert.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)

                self.photosAsset = PHAsset.fetchAssetsInAssetCollection(self.assetCollection, options: nil)
                if(self.photosAsset.count == 0){

                    // No photos Left
                    self.imgView.image = nil
                    println("No Image Left")

                    // Pop to root view controller
                    self.navigationController?.popToRootViewControllerAnimated(true)

                }
                if(self.index >= self.photosAsset.count){
                    self.index = self.photosAsset.count - 1
                }
                self.displayPhoto()
        })

    }))
    alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancle", style: .Cancel, handler: {(alertAction)in
    //Do not delete Photo

    self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
    }))
    self.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

I have set if there is not image left than use will navigate to the RootViewController with this line of code:

 self.navigationController?.popToRootViewControllerAnimated(true)

But this is not working and when the last image is deleted I got a window:

enter image description here

and my console shows up:

What is the method self.displayPhoto() doing? Do you want to call it after pop? It seems weird.

Try adding a "return" at the line after self.navigationController?.popToRootViewControllerAnimated(true) to make sure that the execution stops there.

I found solution for my question is :

 @IBAction func btnTrash(sender: AnyObject) {

    let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Delete Image", message: "Are You Sure To delete this Image?", preferredStyle: .Alert)
    alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Yes", style: .Default, handler: {(alertAction)in
        //Delete Photo

        PHPhotoLibrary.sharedPhotoLibrary().performChanges({
            let request = PHAssetCollectionChangeRequest(forAssetCollection: self.assetCollection)
            request.removeAssets([self.photosAsset[self.index]])
            }, completionHandler: {(success, error )in
                NSLog("\nDeleted Image -> %@", (success ? "Success" : "Error"))

                alert.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)

                // here is the code for go back to root view controller

                if(success){
                    // Move to the main thread to execute
                    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), {
                        self.photosAsset = PHAsset.fetchAssetsInAssetCollection(self.assetCollection, options: nil)
                        if(self.photosAsset.count == 0){
                            println("No Images Left!!")
                            self.navigationController?.popToRootViewControllerAnimated(true)
                        }else{
                            if(self.index >= self.photosAsset.count){
                                self.index = self.photosAsset.count - 1
                            }
                            self.displayPhoto()
                        }
                    })
                }else{
                    println("Error: \(error)")
                }
        })


    }))
    alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancle", style: .Cancel, handler: {(alertAction)in
    //Do not delete Photo

    self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
    }))
    self.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

Have you tried with this line of code :

self.presentingViewController!.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)

This worked great for me when I needed to dismiss the current view controller as well as the parent view controller to get back 2 levels. – Brad C Jan 13 '17 at 19:00

When you don't have any photos left and do the popToRoot, it continues executing this lines:

alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancle", style: .Cancel, handler: {(alertAction)in
//Do not delete Photo

self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}))
self.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)

Try commenting them to see if the problem is there, and if it is, uncomment for solving it.
