UIPopovercontroller doesn't show anything on iPad Simulator(xCode6.1) - ios

I am trying to show the UIPopovercontroller that involves UIPickerView when I click a button on iPad. I can see the UIPopovercontroller but I can't see the UIPickerView in UIpopovercontroller
I've already made a ViewController which has the UIPickerViewer in storyboard for UIPopovercontroller.
So what am I missing now?
Here are the code I am using.
#property (nonatomic, strong) UIPopoverController *userDataPopover;
- (IBAction)setTime:(id)sender {
DatePickerViewController *viewController = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"datePickerView"];
viewController.delegate = self;
self.userDataPopover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:viewController];
self.userDataPopover.popoverContentSize = CGSizeMake(400, 400);
[self.userDataPopover presentPopoverFromRect:[(UIButton *)sender frame]
inView:self.view
permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny
animated:YES]; }

Try these
0 - Check height of date picker.
1 - Check constraints if you have any.
2 - Can you try to add DatePicker directly to popover controller

when I use following code, it works well.
DatePickerViewController *viewController = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"datePickerView"];
[self presentViewController:viewController animated:YES completion:nil]
But there is a problem when I use Popovercontroller.

Is it possible to show UIViewController as popover in iphone

I have created a UIViewController using Interface Builder is it possible to view the UIViewController as a popover of specified size.
The size of my UIViewController is default 600X600 since I am using size classes.
I have tried various answers available but none works for me.
For Showing Popover in Phone Just Make Category of UIPopoverController Code :
// UIPopoverController+iPhone.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface UIPopoverController (iPhone)
+ (BOOL)_popoversDisabled;
#end
// UIPopoverController+iPhone.m
#import "UIPopoverController+iPhone.h"
#implementation UIPopoverController (iPhone)
+ (BOOL)_popoversDisabled {
return NO;
}
#end
and just import this category where you required. and show popover as you show for iPAD.
-(IBAction)showPopOver:(id)sender {
TestPopOver *tstPop = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"TestPopOver"];
popOverController = [[UIPopoverController alloc]initWithContentViewController:tstPop];
popOverController.popoverContentSize = CGSizeMake(300.0, 300.0);
[popOverController presentPopoverFromRect:[(UIButton *)sender frame]
inView:self.view
permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny
animated:YES]; }

Present View Controller from another class

I am trying to present a new viewcontroller from a class outside of that viewcontroller.
It looks like this:
AppDelegate.m -> inside has this code:
- (BOOL)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController shouldSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController
Now, inside of that method is an object which utilises another class: [actionSheet launchActionSheetNav]; this simply makes an actionsheet appear with different options.
Now, inside of ActionSheets.m is some code, involving a segue as follows:
handler:^(AHKActionSheet *as){
ViewControllerYoutube *vc = [[ViewControllerYoutube alloc]init];
[vc presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:nil];
}];
All I want to do, is launch a new view controller from inside of there, however doing [self.navigationController brings an error that ActionSheets.m does not contain such method/property.
How can I present a viewcontroller from outside the original classes?
So the hierarchy is as follows:
Viewing Storyboard > Listening on AppDelegate.m > Inside that, a class method is called which takes you to ActionSheets.m -> and from there I need to display the new viewcontroller.
This line:
ViewControllerYoutube *vc = [[ViewControllerYoutube alloc]init];
Creates a new instance of ViewControllerYoutube. This ViewController doesn't exist anywhere else but that line, so when you follow it with this:
ViewControllerYoutube *vc = [[ViewControllerYoutube alloc]init];
[vc presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:nil];
You're trying to present on a view controller that hasn't yet been presented.
If you want to present from an outside class, you need some way to keep a reference to the view controller you want to present, perhaps in your ActionSheet.h
#property (weak, nonatomic) ViewControllerYoutube *myViewControllerYoutube;
Then assign it when you create your action sheet (assuming you create it in ViewControllerYoutube)
ActionSheet * myActionSheet = [[ActionSheet alloc]init];
myActionSheet.myViewControllerYoutube = self;
Then instead of this:
ViewControllerYoutube *vc = [[ViewControllerYoutube alloc]init];
[vc presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:nil];
Call this:
[_myViewControllerYoutube presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:nil];
UPDATE
Based on our chat, here's how I think we can solve it.
In ActionSheet.h:
#property (weak, nonatomic) UIViewController *presentingViewController;
In 'ActionSheet.m'
ViewControllerYoutube *vc = [[ViewControllerYoutube alloc]init];
[_presentingViewController presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:nil];
In your AppDelegate:
ActionSheet * actionSheet = [[ActionSheet alloc]init];
UITabBarController * tabController = (UITabBarController *)self.window.rootViewController;
actionSheet.presentingViewController = tabController.selectedViewController;
you need to do
[currentViewController presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:nil];
do you have any reference to "correntViewController" from this block? from this class?
if not, do this
add a property
#property(nonatomic,strong) UIViewController *currentViewController
in the given class
then in your init method, or in the usual setCurrentViewController:
pass the reference to the controller,
and change you[vc presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:nil];
to
[self.currentViewController presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:nil];

Hide Popover controller

In my project i'm using the WEPopover,
I can able to to call and custom popover with the help of it but, the problem is I can't able to dismiss the popover with a help of button present in the popover.
NOTE:-
I'm calling the popover from UIBarButtonItem
The content of the popover is of a view controller
I'm calling the popover in all the vie'w I'm using it like a help button
I'm calling the popover in all the view's like this
if (self.popoverController)
{
[self.popoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
self.popoverController = nil;
}
else
{
NSString * storyboardName = #"MainStoryboard";
NSString * viewControllerID = #"settings";
UIStoryboard * storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:storyboardName bundle:nil];
SettingsViewController * controller = (SettingsViewController *)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:viewControllerID];
self.popoverController = [[WEPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:controller];
[self.popoverController presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:sender permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp animated:YES];
}
and I want to dismiss the popover with a help of button which is present in the view controller which has been exposed as a popover.
Need some help as i'm new to IOS developing.
Mmm, I guess you have two options.
Implement a delegate in your Settings ViewController, to indicate when the help button is pressed, and make parentViewController dismiss the popover
Setup a new property in your SettingsViewController to assign the popover
#property (nonatomic, weak) WEPopoverController *popoverController;

delegate help code not behaving as expected

Really simple question i think.
i have a main view and a popover view.
i am trying to make a custom delegate which will enable me to close the popover view at certain times. My code is posted below. The real simple issue i am having is my code dosnt appear to be entering the delegate code. Any ideas as to why? It builds and runs but nothing appears to happen, i have put NSLog statments, the popover nslog appears but the function in
mainview dismissPopover does nothing.
Mainview.h
#interface MainScreen : UIViewController<DismissPopoverDelegate>
Mainview.m
- (void) dismissPopover:(NSNumber *)dataa
{ /* Dismiss you popover here and process data */
[popoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
NSLog(#"OLOLO");
}
Popover.h
#protocol DismissPopoverDelegate
- (void) dismissPopover:(NSNumber *)yourDataToTransfer;
#end
#interface SelectAgePopOver : UIViewController<UITableViewDataSource,
UITableViewDelegate,UIPopoverControllerDelegate>{
NSArray *items;
id<DismissPopoverDelegate> delegate;
}
#property (nonatomic, assign) id<DismissPopoverDelegate> delegate;
Popover.m
[self.delegate dismissPopover:selrow];
where i want the delegate called.
Thanks
the popover view is called by the following method in main view.m
controller = [[SelectAgePopOver alloc] initWithNibName:#"SelectAgePopOver" bundle:nil];
popoverController = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:controller];
[popoverController setDelegate:self];
popoverController.popoverContentSize = CGSizeMake(250, 294);
if ([popoverController isPopoverVisible]) {
[popoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
} else {
CGRect popRect = CGRectMake((self.AgeRangeTextField.frame.origin.x+50),
(self.AgeRangeTextField.frame.origin.y+50),
(self.AgeRangeTextField.frame.size.width),
(self.AgeRangeTextField.frame.size.height));
[popoverController presentPopoverFromRect:popRect inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
}
}
On where you instantiate the instance of the SelectAgePopOver, you need to set the delegate of the SelectAgePopOver instance to the MainScreen (self) in the Mainview.m, for example:
controller = [[SelectAgePopOver alloc] initWithNibName:#"SelectAgePopOver" bundle:nil];
;
controller.delegate = self;
Please try to set the controller delegate as shown above.
In the SelectAgePopOver.h class file, you do not need to set UIPopOverControllerDelegate though.

popoverControllerDidDismissPopover method is not called

In my application I have a presentViewController, and inside it I have a button that opens a popover. In this popover I have a barButtonItem to save de data of this popover. I would like that when the user taps outside of the popover, the data could be saved too.
I've tried to use the popoverControllerDidDismissPopover method in the presentViewController view. I have the delegate but when I tap outside of the popover this method is not called.
What can I do?
Thanks!!
Add this line of code while adding popOver:
popover.delegate = self;
Also register popOverDelegate in .h file where u present your popOver COntroller
#interface yourViewController : UIViewController<UIPopoverControllerDelegate>
Please, pay attention to docs!
"Called on the delegate when the user has taken action to dismiss the popover.
This is not called when the popover is dismissed programmatically."
It was my case because my popover was closing on button tap with this method:
dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
You probably already solved it, but I just faced the same problem. I'm holding a instance of UIPopoverController in my Viewcontroller and had it this way:
self.popover.delegate = self;
self.popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:wgtvc];
of course this doesn't work because I'm initializing the UIPopoverController AFTER setting the delegate, which overrides the delegate setting. So the correct way is to FIRST initialize the UIPopovercontroller and THEN setting the delegate
self.popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:wgtvc];
self.popover.delegate = self;
Maybe you are reinitializing your UIPopoverController somewhere - just set the delegate again after reinitializing.
I had the same problem and I solved it by handling it different for iOS8.
Presentation code
UIViewController *searchViewController = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
[[searchViewController view] addSubview:_searchOptions];
[searchViewController setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationPopover];
[searchViewController setPreferredContentSize:CGSizeMake(500, 400)];
[_searchOptions setHidden:NO];
[_searchOptions setFrame:[[searchViewController view] bounds]];
[_searchOptions setAutoresizingMask:UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidthAndHeight];
if (CRIdiomToolsIsIOS8OrHigher())
{
UIPopoverPresentationController *popOverPresentationController = [searchViewController popoverPresentationController];
[popOverPresentationController setDelegate:self];
[popOverPresentationController setSourceView:[_searchOptionsButton disclosureView]];
[popOverPresentationController setSourceRect:[[_searchOptionsButton disclosureView] bounds]];
[self presentViewController:searchViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
else
{
UIPopoverController *popOverControler = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:searchViewController];
[popOverControler setDelegate:self];
[popOverControler setPopoverContentSize:CGSizeMake(500, 400)];
[popOverControler presentPopoverFromRect:[[_searchOptionsButton disclosureView] bounds] inView:[_searchOptionsButton disclosureView] permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp|UIPopoverArrowDirectionLeft animated:YES];
}
Delegate calls
#pragma mark Delegate Methods: UIPopoverControllerDelegate
- (void)popoverControllerDidDismissPopover:(UIPopoverController *)popoverController
{
[self showSearchOptions:NO animated:YES];
}
#pragma mark Delegate Methods: UIPopoverPresentationControllerDelegate
- (void)popoverPresentationControllerDidDismissPopover:(UIPopoverPresentationController *)popoverPresentationController
{
[self showSearchOptions:NO animated:YES];
}
I had the same issue. You will need to retain the popover object, that way the delegate method gets called. Its strange but it works.
#property (nonatomic, retain) UIPopoverController *popupObject;
UIPopoverController *popup = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:viewController];
popup.delegate = self;
[popup presentPopoverFromRect:presentationRect inView:self permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
self.popupObject = popup; //Retained
-(void) popoverControllerDidDismissPopover:(UIPopoverController *)popoverController
{
//Do whatever operation you need to perform
self.popupObject = nil;
}
I know this questions is old but hopefully it helps someone out there...
The issue is in the initialization of your popover controller. If you have established the popover segue in the storyboard you need to have a reference to this popover in order for the delegate to be called when it is dismissed.
In your prepare for segue method:
Instead of:
self.popoverController = [[UIPopoverController alloc]initWithContentViewController:segue.destinationViewController];
self.popoverController.delegate = self;
You need:
self.popoverController = [(UIStoryboardPopoverSegue *)segue popoverController];
self.popoverController.delegate = self;
Then make sure to correctly handle if the when the popover should appear in
(BOOL)shouldPerformSegueWithIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier sender:(id)sender
