View Controller get initiated every time which causes it to loose state

[goelv]

Hi,

I have 3 view controllers - every time I switch between controllers using the residemenu the view controller gets initiated (viewdidload method gets called) and I loose any user state. Is there a way I can avoid this? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Varun

You can keep reference to your view controllers in the menu view controller and just switch content view controller of the RESideMenu. Something like that:

self.sideMenuViewController.contentViewController = self.myViewController;
[self.sideMenuViewController hideMenuViewController];

Make sure that you're running the latest version.

Hi Roman,

I kept a reference of the view controllers in my menu controller and it worked. Since I was using navigation controllers, I had to this:

navigationController.viewControllers = @[self.myViewController];
[self.sideMenuViewController hideMenuViewController];

Thanks!
