how to use popover controller in iPhone - ios

I couldn't show popover controller as popover in iPhone whereas it works very well with iPad.
Any ideas on how to do that in iPhone.
As far as I have searched I couldn't find any.
anyways to make the popover appear in iphone as it is in iPad is appreciated !

Set yourself as the popover view controller's delegate before presenting it, and implement the delegate method adaptivePresentationStyle(for:traitCollection:) to return .none. This will cause the popover to stop adapting on iPhone as a fullscreen presented view controller and turn into an actual popover just like on the iPad.
This is a complete working example that presents the popover in response to a button tap:
class ViewController: UIViewController {
#IBAction func doButton(_ sender: Any) {
let vc = MyPopoverViewController()
vc.preferredContentSize = CGSize(400,500)
vc.modalPresentationStyle = .popover
if let pres = vc.presentationController {
pres.delegate = self
}
self.present(vc, animated: true)
if let pop = vc.popoverPresentationController {
pop.sourceView = (sender as! UIView)
pop.sourceRect = (sender as! UIView).bounds
}
}
}
extension ViewController : UIPopoverPresentationControllerDelegate {
func adaptivePresentationStyle(for controller: UIPresentationController, traitCollection: UITraitCollection) -> UIModalPresentationStyle {
return .none
}
}

In Swiftui How do I prevent Popover switching to full screen on smaller devices

I know that the normal behavior on iPad is to show a popover view while on iPhone it switches to a full screen, but I don't want the full screen on the smaller devices. Is there a way to prevent this?
In UIKit we could override the adaptivepresentationstyle func like this(from https://stackoverflow.com/a/50428131/412154)
class ViewController: UIViewController {
#IBAction func doButton(_ sender: Any) {
let vc = MyPopoverViewController()
vc.preferredContentSize = CGSize(400,500)
vc.modalPresentationStyle = .popover
if let pres = vc.presentationController {
pres.delegate = self
}
self.present(vc, animated: true)
if let pop = vc.popoverPresentationController {
pop.sourceView = (sender as! UIView)
pop.sourceRect = (sender as! UIView).bounds
}
}
}
extension ViewController : UIPopoverPresentationControllerDelegate {
func adaptivePresentationStyle(for controller: UIPresentationController, traitCollection: UITraitCollection) -> UIModalPresentationStyle {
return .none
}
}
wondering if anyone found something similar to override for swiftui
thanks for the help!
Here is another solution that subclasses uihostingcontroller but I don’t know how I would incorporate it into my swiftui views since I’m trying to achieve this for some deeper views

Present UIViewController as a popover [duplicate]

I am trying to make a popover menu with the following code:
import UIKit
class BeobachtungViewController: UIViewController, UIPopoverPresentationControllerDelegate {
#IBAction func addClicked(_ sender: AnyObject) {
// get a reference to the view controller for the popover
let popController = UIStoryboard(name: "Personenakte", bundle: nil).instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "popoverId")
// set the presentation style
popController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.popover
// set up the popover presentation controller
popController.popoverPresentationController?.permittedArrowDirections = UIPopoverArrowDirection.up
popController.popoverPresentationController?.delegate = self
popController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = sender as! UIView // button
popController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceRect = sender.bounds
// present the popover
self.present(popController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
// UIPopoverPresentationControllerDelegate method
func adaptivePresentationStyleForPresentationController(controller: UIPresentationController) -> UIModalPresentationStyle {
// Force popover style
return UIModalPresentationStyle.none
}
}
This is working on iPad, but, on an iPhone, the popup takes the whole iPhone screen. I just want a small window with an arrow. I found several tutorials but none worked for me.
Change your delegate method to:
func adaptivePresentationStyle(for controller: UIPresentationController, traitCollection: UITraitCollection) -> UIModalPresentationStyle {
// return UIModalPresentationStyle.FullScreen
return UIModalPresentationStyle.none
}

Present a popover from an arbitrary anchor point in Swift

I know how to present a popover from a bar button item as is described in this answer (for both iPhone and iPad).
I would like to add a popover for an arbitrary anchor point. The other SO answers that I saw were for bar button items or in Objective-C.
I just learned how to do this, so I am adding my own answer below.
Updated for Swift 3
In the storyboard, add a view controller that you would like to be the popover. Set the Storyboard ID to be "popoverId".
Also add a button to your main view controller and hook up the IBAction to the following code.
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController, UIPopoverPresentationControllerDelegate {
#IBAction func buttonTap(sender: UIButton) {
// get a reference to the view controller for the popover
let popController = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "popoverId")
// set the presentation style
popController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.popover
// set up the popover presentation controller
popController.popoverPresentationController?.permittedArrowDirections = UIPopoverArrowDirection.up
popController.popoverPresentationController?.delegate = self
popController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = sender // button
popController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceRect = sender.bounds
// present the popover
self.present(popController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
// UIPopoverPresentationControllerDelegate method
func adaptivePresentationStyleForPresentationController(controller: UIPresentationController) -> UIModalPresentationStyle {
// Force popover style
return UIModalPresentationStyle.none
}
}
Setting the sourceView and sourceRect is what allows you to choose an arbitrary point to display the popover.
That's it. Now it should like something like this when the button is tapped.
Thanks to this article for help.
Solution for Swift 3.1 :
Add to your ViewController UIPopoverPresentationControllerDelegate delegate :
class OriginalViewController: UIViewController, UIPopoverPresentationControllerDelegate
Add a button to your ViewController and on tap on your button, call this code :
let controller = MyPopViewController()
controller.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.popover
let popController = controller.popoverPresentationController
popController?.permittedArrowDirections = .any
popController?.delegate = self
popController?.sourceRect = (self.myButton?.bounds)!
popController?.sourceView = self.myButton
self.present(controller, animated: true, completion: nil)
Update to func syntax above:
func adaptivePresentationStyle(for controller: UIPresentationController) -> UIModalPresentatinStyle {
return .none
}
For some reason the old syntax is still allowed but is not active and will not implement popup or anchor correctly.

Why isn't presentationController:viewControllerForAdaptivePresentationStyle: being called?

I'm trying to programmatically present a view via an adaptive popover (e.g. in a popover on an iPad, full screen on an iPhone). In order to be able to dismiss the presented view controller on the iPhone, I've tried wrapping it in a navigation controller as in https://stackoverflow.com/a/29956631/5061277 or the nice example here: https://github.com/shinobicontrols/iOS8-day-by-day/tree/master/21-alerts-and-popovers/AppAlert, which looks like:
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController, UIPopoverPresentationControllerDelegate {
#IBAction func handlePopoverPressed(sender: UIView) {
let popoverVC = storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("codePopover") as! UIViewController
popoverVC.modalPresentationStyle = .Popover
// Present it before configuring it
presentViewController(popoverVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
// Now the popoverPresentationController has been created
if let popoverController = popoverVC.popoverPresentationController {
popoverController.sourceView = sender
popoverController.sourceRect = sender.bounds
popoverController.permittedArrowDirections = .Any
popoverController.delegate = self
}
}
func adaptivePresentationStyleForPresentationController(controller: UIPresentationController) -> UIModalPresentationStyle {
// This line _IS_ reached in the debugger
NSLog("Delagate asked for presentation style");
return .FullScreen
}
func presentationController(controller: UIPresentationController, viewControllerForAdaptivePresentationStyle style: UIModalPresentationStyle) -> UIViewController? {
// This line _IS_NOT_ reached in the debugger
NSLog("Delegate asked for view controller");
return UINavigationController(rootViewController: controller.presentedViewController)
}
}
While the adaptivePresentationStyleForPresentationController delegate method is called, the presentationController viewControllerForAdaptivePresentationStyle delegate method is not called. As a result there is no way to dismiss the presented controller on an iPhone.
I've tried XCode 6.4 and 7.0b2 on iOS 8.1 through 8.4, both in the simulator and on a device, and in no case is my delegate asked for viewControllerForAdaptivePresentationStyle. Why? Is there a build setting I should be looking at, or could having XCode 7 installed be changing something? This exact code is presented as working in the links above.
You need to present it after configuring it. Alternatively use a segue to make it much easier.
You need to add this method:
-(UIModalPresentationStyle)adaptivePresentationStyleForPresentationController:(UIPresentationController *)controller traitCollection:(UITraitCollection *)traitCollection{
return UIModalPresentationOverFullScreen;
}
The trick is that you must set the
presentation controller’s delegate before calling present(_:animated:completion:);
otherwise, the adaptive presentation delegate methods won’t be called:
let vc = MyViewController()
vc.modalPresentationStyle = .popover
if let pop = vc.popoverPresentationController {
pop.delegate = self // *
}
self.present(vc, animated: true)
