Provide a way to get a reference to the currently showing modal page instance. #727
Description
There does not seem to be an equivalent way to get the current modal view that is running like you can get the current non-modal page from the frame.topmost(). With the frame.topmost() you can do view.getViewById(frame.topmost(), "id") and find an id somewhere on the running non-modal page.
However, if a modal page is up; it is not included in the search. Is their another technique other than capturing the modal page object on the loaded event? (i.e. so if I have a library that auto-searches for something it can find it if it is a normal page or a modal page).
Did I miss something, or does the frame code need some addition code to allow the modal pages to be included in a modal stack so that the search can find it?

Hey @NathanaelA , you will have to use the instance method https://github.com/NativeScript/NativeScript/blob/master/ui/core/view.d.ts#L393 instead of the static one.

Hey, @NathanaelA , we misunderstood you question - sorry about that! The modal page cannot be accessed like that and it has nothing to do with the frame.topmost(), because it is not part of the navigation stack. Can you give us some more information about you are trying to achieve, so we can be more of a help? :)

OK. I will try to implement a frame.getModal() method.

Since a modal page always has a parent page, I decided to add a new property to the Page class called "modal". Getting it will return the currently shown modal page if any. So you could get it like this:
var modalPage = frame.topmost().currentPage.modal;[-]view.getViewById/frame.topmost does not work properly on modal pages[/-][+]Provide a way to get a reference to the currently showing modal page instance.[/+]hamorphis commentedon Oct 21, 2015

@hamorphis This seems to be not working anymore. currentPage has no modal on it.
