Is it possible on iOS that a view always floats above all other views. I ask this because what I would like to achieve is a view that floats above a ViewController, and then a Modal View Controller slides in, whilst that particular view is still floating over that Modal View Controller (hope you get what I am trying to say).

There is. You can add your view to the main window and bring it to front when you have to.
ReplyDeleteIn following code is presumed that _viewConroller and _anotherView are strong properties of appDelegate - configuration could of course be different.
This code would add small blue square on top left corner of the screen.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
_viewController = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"ViewController" bundle:nil];
_anotherView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake (0.0,0.0,20.0,20.0)];
[anotherView setBackgroundColor: [UIColor blueColor]];
self.window.rootViewController = self.viewController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
[self.window addSubView: _anotherView];
[self.window bringSubViewToFront: _anotherView]; //not really needed here but it doesn't do any harm
return YES;
}
