TableView not reloading after modalview dismissed - ios4

Question

I have a page that checks if there is a list of employees on the bundle, and if there is it displays them in a table view. But if there is no list on the bundle it throws up a modal view controller. That then requires someone to login, the login is authenticated and then data is downloaded.
The ModalView is setup to be a delegate of the first page. I can call the delegate method just fine and pass the list, but when the ModalView is dismissed the table does not reload the tableview with the data. If i run the project again it loads the list up in the table view instantly.
Here is the method on the ViewDidLoad of the first page
[self checkLastLoginDate];
[self loadDataIntoArray];
if (currentData && dataLoadedIntoArray) {
NSLog(#"sweet the data is current");
[self createIndexedArray];
}
else{
NSLog(#"Data not loaded and not current");
//push login view
///if ipad do this
if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad)
{
//the above code was working fine. I am just testing pushing a dynamic xib
LoginViewControlleriPad *loginControlleriPad = [[LoginViewControlleriPad alloc] initWithNibName:#"LoginViewControlleripad" bundle:nil];
loginControlleriPad.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;
loginControlleriPad.delegate = self;
[self presentModalViewController:loginControlleriPad animated:YES];
[self createIndexedArray];
[loginControlleriPad dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:NO];
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
The first two methods check to make sure the data exists on the bundle and that the last login date is within 15 days.
if it is then I create an IndexedArray and it displays nicely.
If the data is not on the bundle or the date is to old I check the device and use a modal view. The delegates are set and the ModalView Appears.
In the ModalView I use a syncronus and asyncronus request to hit a server for the required information. Then I create the list and pass it back to the first page.
Once the connection is made and we do a little work on the list we save it to the bundle.
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *path = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:kEMPLOYEE_PLIST];
/////write to file/////
[cleanResults writeToFile:path atomically:YES];
employeeList = [[NSMutableArray alloc ]initWithContentsOfFile:path];
if (employeeList != nil)
{
[delegate passUserInfo:employeeList];
//cant get login view to dismiss
//[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
Once I get the list I right it to file and then read it back in. If there is info in the list I call the delegate method.
UPDATE
Here is the delgate method
- (void)passUserInfo: (NSMutableArray *)employeeDataArray
{
employeeData = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithArray:employeeDataArray];
[self.tableView reloadData];
/////FIX////////
[createIndexedArray];
}
Once that is called nothing happens. I tried dismissing the modal view, which works, but then the first page does not refresh and my app gets lost in the oblivion. I am just confused at were it is going and how i can refresh the tableview on the first page.
Is there a step I are missing? I have tried tracking it and lose it after this step.

Answer 1

I actually figured out that my code was setup right, i just needed to call a method that sorted the array into an alphabetic array. Once i called that method from the delegate method it worked like a snake charm.
UPDATE
I had a method that created an indexed array. When i called that inside the delegate method it reloaded the page and inserted the new into the table view. I am pretty sure it was reloading the whole time, i was just not calling the method that was populating the array that was being being displayed in the tableview.
