Using UIPopovercontroller below ios8.0 in iphone working fine with this code. But in ios8 it display white screen.
Code :
pickerController = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
UIView *viewV = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 150, 160)];
[viewV setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
popOverController = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:pickerController];
popOverController.popoverContentSize = CGSizeMake(150, 160);
[popOverController setDelegate:self];
CGRect ImageBtnFrame = [self.view convertRect:sender.frame fromView:self.view];
[popOverController presentPopoverFromRect:ImageBtnFrame inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp animated:YES];
Any alternative for ios8, need suggestion.
Try to use the new iOS 8 API for popovers.
pickerController = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
UIView *viewV = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 150, 160)];
[viewV setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
UIPopoverPresentationController *popOverController = pickerController .popoverPresentationController;
popOverController.popoverContentSize = CGSizeMake(150, 160);
[popOverController setDelegate:self];
popOverController.sourceView = self.view;
popOverController.sourceRect = sender.frame;
popOverController.permittedArrowDirections = UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp;
[self presentViewController:popOverController
animated:YES
completion:nil];
According to 2014 WWDC, in the 30 minute mark, the right answer is:
- (void) tapButton:(id) sender
{
MyViewControllerClass * vc = [[MyViewControllerClass alloc] init];
vc.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationPopover;
UIPopoverPresentationController * popOverController = vc.popoverPresentationController;
[popOverController setDelegate:self];
popOverController.sourceView = sender;
popOverController.sourceRect = ((UIButton*)sender).frame;
popOverController.permittedArrowDirections = UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp;
[self presentViewController:vc
animated:YES
completion:nil];
}
Notice that the accepted answer has some problems like:
- Not setting the
modalPresentationStyle
- Presenting the
UIPopoverPresentationController *
instead of the UIViewController
That will cause on iOS 8. So, I recommended to use following Github library.
https://github.com/skywinder/ActionSheetPicker-3.0 or you can write code base on iOS version.
if (OLDER_THAN_IOS_8) {
// Your regular code
pickerController = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
UIView *viewV = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 150, 160)];
[viewV setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
popOverController = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:pickerController];
popOverController.popoverContentSize = CGSizeMake(150, 160);
[popOverController setDelegate:self];
CGRect ImageBtnFrame = [self.view convertRect:sender.frame fromView:self.view];
[popOverController presentPopoverFromRect:ImageBtnFrame inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp animated:YES];
} else {
// New Code that support iOS -8 using UIPopoverPresentationController
// Checkout @AndreasZ answer for the same
