UIPopovercontroller not dismissing from UILongPressGestureRecognizer - ios

I'm trying to dismiss a UIPopoverController, it works normally.
However if the UIPopoverController is created from a UILongPressGestureRecognizer action.
It doesn't work. I have a delegate which is calling the dismissAllPopovers. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks
UILongPressGestureRecognizer *longTap = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(handleChangeColor:)];
longTap.minimumPressDuration = 0.6;
[button addGestureRecognizer:longTap];
- (void)handleChangeColor:(UILongPressGestureRecognizer *)gesture
{
ColorPicker *colorPicker = [[ColorPicker alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
colorPicker.delegate2 = self;
colorPicker.navigationItem.title = [Language get:#"Button Color"];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:colorPicker];
self.selectColorPop = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:navController];
self.selectColorPop.popoverContentSize = CGSizeMake(300, 390);
self.selectColorPop.delegate = self;
colorPicker.myPop = self.selectColorPop;
[self.selectColorPop presentPopoverFromRect:button.frame inView:scrollView permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionRight animated:YES];
[self.selectColorPop setPassthroughViews:nil];
}
- (void) dismissAllPopOvers
{
if (self.selectColorPop != nil)
{
//[self.selectColorPop.delegate popoverControllerDidDismissPopover:self.selectColorPop];
[self.selectColorPop dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
self.selectColorPop = nil;
}
}

Under handleChangeColor:
I should
if(UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan == gesture.state) {
// Called on start of gesture, do work here
[self doSomething];
}
if(UIGestureRecognizerStateChanged == gesture.state) {
// Do repeated work here (repeats continuously) while finger is down
}
if(UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded == gesture.state) {
// Do end work here when finger is lifted
}

modalPresentationStyle from button click

I have a _exampleButton:
_exampleButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[_exampleButton setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
[_exampleButton addTarget:self action:#selector(certificatesButtonTouched) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:_exampleButton];
and the action:
-(void)certificatesButtonTouched
{
if(!_certificatesWindow)
{
_certificatesWindow = [[AWCertificatesViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc]
initWithRootViewController:_certificatesWindow];
navController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;
[self presentViewController:navController animated:YES completion:nil];
[_certificatesWindow release];
}
else {
[_certificatesWindow.view removeFromSuperview];
[_certificatesWindow release];
_certificatesWindow = nil;
}
}
this presents the window in modal view controller from other class:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UIBarButtonItem *cancelItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemCancel
target:self
action:#selector(cancel:)];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = cancelItem;
UITableView *table = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame] style:UITableViewStylePlain];
[self.view addSubview:table];
_tableFromButton = table;
}
- (void)cancel:(id)sender
{
[self.presentingViewController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES
completion:nil];
}
but after clicking the Cancel button, the Modal view controller view disappears, but if I click the _exampleButton again once- it will not appear, so I have to click it twice to show the modal view controller again. What is the problem?
It does this because that is what your code tell it to do...
You dismiss the view controller in -(void)cancel:(id)sender but this will not result in the _certificatesWindow iVar becoming nil in your first view controller. So when you touch the exampleButton again it will execute the else clause and clean up the _certificatesWindow view controller.
You should either use delegation or a code block to have the first view controller dismiss the second or remove the if/else test from your certificatesButtonTouched. Another alternative is to modify this method so that if _certificatesWindow is not nil it is reused -
-(void)certificatesButtonTouched
{
if(!_certificatesWindow)
{
_certificatesWindow = [[AWCertificatesViewController alloc] init];
}
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc]
initWithRootViewController:_certificatesWindow];
navController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;
[self presentViewController:navController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
But this may or may not be desirable depending on what the second view controller shows.
I would also suggest you look at converting to ARC if possible
The problem is after you tap "Cancel", _certificatesWindow still exists when you tap on certificatesButtonTouched. It will go to the Else statement on the First tap to make _certificatesWindow = nil.
if _certificatesWindow is not needed when you tap cancel, you might want to do the following:-
- (void)cancel:(id)sender
{
[self.presentingViewController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES
completion:nil];
[_certificatesWindow.view removeFromSuperview];
[_certificatesWindow release];
_certificatesWindow = nil;
}
allocate view like this in view did load method
if(!_certificatesWindow)
{
_certificatesWindow = [[ViewController1 alloc] init];
}
-(void)certificatesButtonTouched
{
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc]
initWithRootViewController:_certificatesWindow];
navController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;
[self presentViewController:navController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
replace your code with this
-(void)certificatesButtonTouched
{
if(!_certificatesWindow)
{
_certificatesWindow = [[AWCertificatesViewController alloc] init];
}
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc]
initWithRootViewController:_certificatesWindow];
navController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;
[self presentViewController:navController animated:YES completion:nil];
[_certificatesWindow release];
}

Dismiss UIViewController does not deallocate memory

I have this code
-(void)didPressButton:(int)tag
{
// Preventivi?
if (tag == 0)
{
if (addPrev == nil)
addPrev = [[avvAddPreventivoViewController alloc] init];
addPrev.delegate = self;
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:addPrev];
navigationController.navigationBarHidden = NO;
[[navigationController navigationBar] setBarStyle:UIBarStyleBlack];
[self presentViewController:navigationController animated:YES completion:nil];
addPrev = nil;
}
}
When I show up the addPrev the memory increases, when show off the memory does not release.
When the addPrev dismiss it fires a protocol methos, didCancel. I intercept it and release addPrev:
-(void)didCancel
{
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
addPrev = nil;
}
Niling also the navigation controller improves drastically the memory allocation.
Also, be careful to deallocate what you can deallocate in the dealloc of the pushed controller.
-(void)didPressButton:(int)tag
{
// Preventivi?
if (tag == 0)
{
if (addPrev == nil)
addPrev = [[avvAddPreventivoViewController alloc] init];
addPrev.delegate = self;
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:addPrev];
navigationController.navigationBarHidden = NO;
[[navigationController navigationBar] setBarStyle:UIBarStyleBlack];
[self presentViewController:navigationController animated:YES completion:nil];
addPrev = nil;
navigationController = nil;
}
}

Can't resize height contentSizeForViewInPopover of UIViewController in side UINavigationController of UIPopover

I use UINavigationController inside UIPopoverController
-(void)showEditMenuFrom:(UIButton *)button{
if (self.popover) {
[self.popover dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
self.popover = nil;
}
else {
EditMenuViewController *editMenuViewController = [[EditMenuViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"EditMenuViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *actionsNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:editMenuViewController];
actionsNavigationController.delegate = self;
// switch for iPhone and iPad.
if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad) {
self.popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:actionsNavigationController];
self.popover.delegate = self;
// CGRect presentFrame = CGRectMake(button.frame.origin.x-43, button.frame.origin.y-10, button.frame.size.width, button.frame.size.height);
[self.popover presentPopoverFromRect:button.frame inView:button permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
} else {
[self presentViewController:actionsNavigationController animated:YES completion:^{
NSLog(#"Activity complete");
}];
}
}
}
And I try to resize view inside UIPopover when navigate and these are result:
Root view:
2.Push to other VC
3.Pop back:
You can see the height of root VC can't change back to origin size.
I try to set contentSizeForViewInPopover in viewDidAppear, viewDidLoad and in UINavigationControllerDelegate but no methods work
-(void)navigationController:(UINavigationController *)navigationController willShowViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController animated:(BOOL)animated
{
NSLog(#"Show VIEW %#",viewController);
if ([viewController isKindOfClass:[EditMenuViewController class]]) {
viewController.contentSizeForViewInPopover = CGSizeMake(160.0, 160.0);
} else {
viewController.contentSizeForViewInPopover = CGSizeMake(320.0, 320.0);
}
}
How to solve this problem? Thanks!
I end up my question for someone meet this solution:
First, you need to declare a #property inside the VC which pop back on stack
#property (nonatomic, strong) UIPopoverController *popover;
Then assign it to UIPopoverController in main code
self.popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:actionsNavigationController];
self.popover.delegate = self;
editMenuViewController.popover = self.popover;
And Finally, setting the size in viewWillAppear of VC you want to resize
-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[self.popover setPopoverContentSize:CGSizeMake(160,160)];
self.contentSizeForViewInPopover = CGSizeMake(160,160);
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
}
Try with bellow example miht be usefull:-
-(void)showEditMenuFrom:(UIButton *)button{
if (self.popover) {
[self.popover dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
self.popover = nil;
}
else {
EditMenuViewController *editMenuViewController = [[EditMenuViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"EditMenuViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *actionsNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:editMenuViewController];
actionsNavigationController.delegate = self;
// switch for iPhone and iPad.
if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad) {
self.popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:actionsNavigationController];
self.popover.delegate = self;
popover.popoverContentSize =CGSizeMake(250,200); //Addint this line for setContentsize
[self.popover presentPopoverFromRect:button.frame inView:button permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
} else {
[self presentViewController:actionsNavigationController animated:YES completion:^{
NSLog(#"Activity complete");
}];
}
}
}
In EditMenuViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
//self.clearsSelectionOnViewWillAppear = NO; //this work if superclass is UITableviewcontroller
self.contentSizeForViewInPopover = CGSizeMake(200,100);
}
-(void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
self.contentSizeForViewInPopover = CGSizeMake(250,200);
[super viewWillDisappear:YES];
}

iPad UIPopover presented over UIBarButtomItem covers BarButtomItem?

I have UIBarButtomItem that shows popover when pressed:
//add help button
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:NSLocalizedString(#"Help", #"Help") style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(showInfoBubble:)] autorelease];
infoBubblePopOverVisible = NO;
self.infoBubblePopOverController = nil;
Here is show info bubble:
- (void) showInfoBubble: (id) sender {
[self dismissPopoverControllerExplicitly];
if (self.infoBubblePopOverController == nil) {
InfoBubbleViewController *controller = [[InfoBubbleViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"InfoBubbleViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:controller];
self.infoBubblePopOverController = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:navigationController];
[controller release];
[navigationController release];
}
//present popOverController
[self.infoBubblePopOverController presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
infoBubblePopOverVisible = YES;
}
But when presented popover is presented partially covering barbuttomitem:
How can i fix this?

Displaying WEPopover from UIButton instead of UIBarButtonItem

I am using WEPopover in my app to pop up a popover controller containg some buttons,it works when i put wepopover controller action in tabbarIteam but i need to get popover when i click UIButton.How to do this this is my barbuttonitem code for displaying popover.
-(IBAction)_clickbtnAccount:(id)sender
{
if (!self.popoverController)
{
UIViewController *contentViewController = [[pageAccount alloc]initWithNibName:#"pageAccount" bundle:nil];
self.popoverController = [[[popoverClass alloc] initWithContentViewController:contentViewController] autorelease];
self.popoverController.delegate = self;
self.popoverController.passthroughViews = [NSArray arrayWithObject:self.navigationController.navigationBar];
[self.popoverController presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:sender
permittedArrowDirections:(UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp|UIPopoverArrowDirectionDown)
animated:YES];
[contentViewController release];
}
else
{
[self.popoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
self.popoverController = nil;
}
}
-(IBAction)_clickbtnAccount:(id)sender
{
if (!self.popoverController)
{
UIButton *senderButton = (UIButton *)sender;
[self.popoverController presentPopoverFromRect:[senderButton frame]
inView:#"pageAccount"
permittedArrowDirections:(UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp|UIPopoverArrowDirectionDown)
animated:YES];
}
else
{
[self.popoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
self.popoverController = nil;
}
}
So you don't want to display a WEPopoverfrom an UIBarButtonItem but from an UIButton, right?!
Just use
- (void)presentPopoverFromRect:(CGRect)rect
inView:(UIView *)view
permittedArrowDirections:(UIPopoverArrowDirection)arrowDirections
animated:(BOOL)animated;
instead of
- (void)presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:(UIBarButtonItem *)item
permittedArrowDirections:(UIPopoverArrowDirection)arrowDirections
animated:(BOOL)animated;
and pass in the rect of your UIButton.
Taking your code as an example:
-(IBAction)_clickbtnAccount:(id)sender
{
if (!self.popoverController) {
UIViewController *contentViewController = [[pageAccount alloc]initWithNibName:#"pageAccount" bundle:nil];
self.popoverController = [[[popoverClass alloc] initWithContentViewController:contentViewController] autorelease];
self.popoverController.delegate = self;
self.popoverController.passthroughViews = [NSArray arrayWithObject:self.navigationController.navigationBar];
UIButton *senderButton = (UIButton *)sender;
[self.popoverController presentPopoverFromRect:[senderButton frame]
inView:self.view
permittedArrowDirections:(UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp|UIPopoverArrowDirectionDown)
animated:YES];
[contentViewController release];
} else {
[self.popoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
self.popoverController = nil;
}
}
WEPopover is basically used to show multiple options inside a popover with much control using UITableview.
This is how i use WEPopOver to show popup on a button click
-(void)showPopOver:(id)sender{
if (self.popoverController) {
[self.popoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
self.popoverController = nil;
}
PopOverTable *contentViewController = [[PopOverTable alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStylePlain];
contentViewController.delegatePopoverItemSelectedDelegate=self;
rectForPopover = [self.view convertRect:btn.bounds fromView:btn];
self.popoverController = [[[popoverClass alloc] initWithContentViewController:contentViewController] autorelease];
if ([self.popoverController respondsToSelector:#selector(setContainerViewProperties:)]) {
[self.popoverController setContainerViewProperties:[self improvedContainerViewProperties]];
}
self.popoverController.delegate = self;
[self.popoverController presentPopoverFromRect:rectForPopover
inView: self.view
permittedArrowDirections:(UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny)
animated:YES];
}
With the accepted solution I get rotation issues for the WEPopover under iOS 7: Basically it was pointing to a custom button in the UIBarButtonItem on the left of the navigation bar but on rotation the pop up moves to the right side of the screen and stays there on further rotations.
