I am writing an iPhone application where I want to utilize the large popup view, but I don't know what it's called. I have a picure on it.
I mean the middle square that isn't shadowed. It has the title "Köp mer utrymme". I know it's from an iPad, but I'm pretty sure a similiar one exists on the iPhone, for example, the iTunes-store agreements. I looked in Apple's UIKit User Interface Catalog, but I couldn't found it there.
Does anyone know what it's called or how to get it?
On iPad it could be a UIPopoverController with a custom view controller inside it, or a modally presented view controller. You can't use that on iPhone (at least not in the same way, popovers don't exist and modal views are full screen).
On iPhone you could use a UIAlertView, or you could search github / cocoacontrols for a suitable 3rd party implementation.
The view on the picture is presented modally. When presenting a view modally, you can customize the presentstion style. The default style is UIModalPresentationFullscreen, but the style in the picture is UIModalPresentationFormSheet.
To present a view controller in that style, you first create an instance of the view controller and then set its style.
MyViewController *vc = [[MyViewController alloc] init];
vc.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;
[self presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:nil];
Note that isn't possible to change the presentation style for iPhone. (I must have imagined that the iTunes-store agreement wasn't fullscreen.)
Use KGModal.h and KGModal.m class. For a PopVieController is is best ....and easy to make and add control over it and no need to set frame for orientation ....
Find these 2 Class (KGModal.h and KGModal.m)...

In my iOS 7 app, I detected if a segue was a popover via this check in prepareForSegue:
if ([segue isKindOfClass:[UIStoryboardPopoverSegue class]])
But now that I am using adaptive segues, the Present as Popover segue is no longer returning true in the above check. This is because segue is no longer a UIStoryboardPopoverSegue, instead it is a UIStoryboardPopoverPresentationSegue. However, one cannot simply add the Presentation word because that's not defined.
What is the appropriate way to detect when the segue is a popover from an adaptive segue, as opposed to a full screen modal presentation?
And, how do you get a reference to the popover for iOS 8? The following is what I'm doing for iOS 7 but again because it's not a UIStoryboardPopoverSegue this will cause a crash.
UIPopoverController *popover = ((UIStoryboardPopoverSegue *)segue).popoverController;
popover.popoverContentSize = CGSizeMake(380, 1000);
There actually was no need to get a reference to the popover for iOS 8. You can access the popoverPresentationController directly in the view controller that's presented. Then use dismissViewControllerAnimated to dismiss the view controller. You can set the popover content size directly in the view controller that's being presented via preferredContentSize. I found I had no need to obtain a reference in prepareForSegue, at least when running on iOS 8. iOS 7 is a different story.
Elaborating on Joey's answer, which led me to what seems the new manner of achieving what we used to do with UIPopoverController.
This code in prepareForSegue:Sender:
UIViewController *destination = segue.destinationViewController;
UIPopoverPresentationController *ppc = destination.popoverPresentationController;
ppc.delegate = self;
is a simple way to successfully set your view controller as delegate of a UIPopoverPresentationController much the same as you are probably used to doing with the old UIPopoverController.
And, of course, while you are at it you'll probably add:
[destination setPreferredContentSize:CGSizeMake(300.00f, 300.00f)];
if you were in the habit of setting UIPopoverController size here as well.
This may not be the most foolproof way to do it but you could check the popoverPresentationController property on your destination view controller. From there you can configure the popover anchor and such.
Check the "Configuring a Popover for Display" section of the UIPopoverPresentationController doc. (Not sure if we're allow to link to them at this point, are we?)
Note too that now we're talking about UIPopover*Presentation*Controllers, not UIPopoverControllers. It's a little confusing...
Quick question again. When I use presentViewController to present a new viewcontroller on top of my current one it is full screen. How do I get it to present a specific size? Or should I use another method.
Code:
- (IBAction)showProfile:(id)sender {
ProfileView *profileTop = [[ProfileView alloc] init];
profileTop.delegate = self;
[self presentViewController:profileTop animated:YES completion:nil];
}
If you are developing an app for iPad then you can make use of viewController's modalPresentationStyle property, You need to set for presenting viewController.
It has 4 values for that variable.
UIModalPresentationFullScreen = 0,
UIModalPresentationPageSheet,
UIModalPresentationFormSheet,
UIModalPresentationCurrentContext
You can select which one suites you the best.
I'd suggest doing a little more research, specifically in Apple's reference. Of note, there is this quote from the View Controller Programming Guide (http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#featuredarticles/ViewControllerPGforiPhoneOS/ModalViewControllers/ModalViewControllers.html):
Presentation Styles for Modal Views
For iPad apps, you can present content using several different styles. In iPhone apps, presented views always cover the visible portion of the window, but when running on an iPad, view controllers use the value in their modalPresentationStyle property to determine their appearance when presented. Different options for this property allow you to present the view controller so that it fills all or only part of the screen.
And specifically, on the API reference page for presentViewController (http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIViewController_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/UIViewController/presentViewController:animated:completion:):
On iPhone and iPod touch, the presented view is always full screen. On iPad, the presentation depends on the value in the modalPresentationStyle property.
Only the iPad appears to have any support for non-fullscreen modals.
On iPad you can just use:
[viewcontroller setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFormSheet];
example:
LoginDialogViewController * login_dialog = [[LoginDialogViewController alloc] init];
[login_dialog setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFormSheet];
[self presentViewController:login_dialog animated:true completion:nil];
You can use the same code. Then adjust the view size in the xib file. See the below figure
and how do you create it? - the popup one in the middle
I would lie to use something like this for my game (in the main menu).
There is no type for UIViewController. There are different ways how you can present UIViewController.
iPad support following three type:
Full Screen
Page Sheet
From Sheet
Your image is showing third one UIModalPresentationFormSheet.
You can Find detail of how to use this three type of presentation at following app guide:
Presenting View Controllers from Other View Controllers.
That's the link to the documentation.
Presenting View Controllers from Other View Controllers
A modal view controller is a controller that can be presented on top of another one.
To create it, for example, you can just call presentViewController:animated:completion: method of the current view controller, passing in the view controller you want to present.
Since the interface you have uploaded contains a navigation bar that contains a close bar button item, you can simply wrap the controller you want to present in a navigation controller.
YourViewController *yourViewController = [[YourViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc]
initWithRootViewController:yourViewController];
[self presentViewController:navigationController animated:YES completion: nil];
Otherwise, you can create a plain controller and use a UIToolBar.
Hope that helps.
P.S. The close button will not be there for free. You need to add it ;)
I think it would be much better to use a third party library instead of implementing it. There are many libraries that offer similar functionality.
UAModalPanel
MTPopupWindow
KGModal
If you do not want to use the above libraries, you can use UIModalPresentationFormSheet explained by Apple in this document: Presenting View Controllers from Other View Controllers
Hope this helps!
actually I'm quite new with Xcode and couldn't find the answer to the following two questions by a google search:
to make it short: I'm working on an iPad app that displays proposals. For this purpose you should choose a proposal from the table in MasterView and then see the details in the DetailsView in landscape mode (but without the MasterView on the Spitscreen).
So when the app starts in landscape mode, I wanna see directly the first proposal full screen on the DetailsView. And when I tap onto the screen the MasterView should popup/unhide with the other proposals in the table. Is this possible?
I wanna display the PDFs in a WebView like in iBooks. That means that the navigation bar is hidden and only when I tap onto the screen the navigation bar should appear at the top of the screen.
I'm kind of sure this questions have been solved somewhere but I couldn't find anything by search so I hope you can help me anyway :-)
Thanks in Advance!
Q1: Use can use one of many methods to present a view (look up under Apple's doc on UIViewController under "Presenting Another View Controller's Content" heading). Two that I have used are: – presentModalViewController:animated: and – presentViewController:animated:completion: (the latter is the latest addition in iOS 5.0)
So let's say you have a detail controller called MyDetailViewController, in your Master View Controller's implementation file (the .m file), under viewDidLoad method, you would do some thing like this to present it as a full screen view.
MyDetailViewController *myDetailViewController = [[MyDetailViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"MyDetailViewController" bundle:nil];
[myDetailViewController.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 1024, 768)]; //might not need this
[self presentViewController:newDetailViewController animated:YES completion:^{
NSLog(#"complete"); //optional
} ];
To dismiss or hide this MyDetailViewController with a tap or touch, you can use UITapGestureRecognizer or touchesEnded method and using one of the dismiss methods (refer back to Apple's UIViewController again for this).
Q2: I personally have not used UIWebView to display PDF and not sure if iBooks is using UIWebview to do it. But to display a varieties of popular documents formats, you can use either the QLPreviewController class or UIDocumentInteractionController. You can hide the toolbar while the document is displayed.
Good luck.
I'm developing a little example for iPad from a UISplitView XCode Template. It's formed by a root controller which is shown in the left of the window and a detail view which is shown in the right.
What I want to achieve is very simple (at least I think so) but I can't find in the documentation the way to do it.
I'd like to substitute the root controller (which appears fixed in the left) with a new controller (for example as response to a event launched when you push a button). I've tried this:
ColorPicker *controlador = [[ColorPicker alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
[self.rootViewController presentModalViewController:controlador animated:YES];
[controlador release];
What happens with that is that the new pushed controller fills the entire window, whereas what I want is that appears fixed at the left with the two columns format that were at the beginning.
You need to set the modalPresentationStyle to an appropriate value,
controlador.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationCurrentContext;
UIModalPresentationCurrentContext instructs the view controller to appear modally within the frame of the rootViewController.
Use pushViewController:animated instead may fix this. About ModalViewController, check document http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#featuredarticles/ViewControllerPGforiPhoneOS/ModalViewControllers/ModalViewControllers.html
