UIPopoverController does not close - ios

I have a normal UIPopoverController which is made in this way:
-(IBAction)btKBIs_click:(id)sender
{
if(kbiPopOver != NULL)
[kbiPopOver dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
KBIViewController *kbiViewController = [[KBIViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"KBIViewController" bundle:nil CurrentUser:currentUser];
kbiViewController.currentStatus = FIRST;
kbiViewController.firstlist = [currentUser getDescriptions];
kbiViewController.mapViewController =self;
UINavigationController* kbiNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:kbiViewController];
kbiPopOver = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:kbiNavController];
kbiPopOver.delegate = self;
kbiViewController.kbiPopOver = kbiPopOver;
[kbiPopOver presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:sender
permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp animated:true];
}
Inside the class KBIViewController I'm calling:
[self.kbiPopOver dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
[self.kbiPopOver.delegate popoverControllerDidDismissPopover:self.kbiPopOver];
To dismiss it but it does not work. Why?

Did you add the <UIPopOverControllerDelegate> in your class interface and did you implement the – popoverControllerDidDismissPopover: method? Just call the dismissPopoverAnimated: explicitly in your code or in the delgate method, when you tap outside the popover. Remove that [self.kbiPopOver.delegate popoverControllerDidDismissPopover:self.kbiPopOver]; from your code.

Why can't I segue to a view controller in my XIB?

In my code below, I am getting an error saying "Property "navigationController" not found on object of type 'iPhoneFirstPageView *'. This worked before in a different project, but it won't work in this XIB. Any ideas?
-(IBAction)Twitter {
TwitterViewController *twitter = [[TwitterViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
//[self presentViewController:twitter animated:YES completion:NULL];
//[self presentModalViewController:twitter animated:YES];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:TwitterViewController animated:YES];
}
Your first problem is that on this line:
[self.navigationController pushViewController:TwitterViewController animated:YES];
You are trying to push the CLASS TwitterViewControllerrather than your object twitter
Your second problem is that iPhoneFirstPageView is a subclass of UIView and not of UIViewController. The cleanest way for someone new to fix this would be in Xcode to create a new file called iPhoneFirstPageViewController that is a subclass of UIViewController.
The solution setup your initial view controllers as the follow:
iPhoneFirstPageViewController *firstViewController = [[iPhoneFirstPageViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:firstViewController];
////Skip to the method you are trying to write. This will be in iPhoneFirstPageViewController.m
-(IBAction)Twitter
{
TwitterViewController *twitter = [[TwitterViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:twitter animated:YES];
}

Popover is shown null

I'm trying to show a popover with a title, creating a root view controller and instantiating it with my viewController. But, when I show the popover, the content is not shown. Here is the code:
UIViewController *popContentViewController = [[sb instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"videosTutoriais"] init];
UINavigationController *controller = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:popContentViewController];
_popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:controller];
_popover.delegate = self;
[popContentViewController release];
[controller release];
//dados.myPopoverController = popOverController;
[[self popover] presentPopoverFromRect:ancora.bounds inView:ancora permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
Just to be more specific, the title of popover appears normally, but the content doesn't.
Just double check that popContentViewController is not nil. You have the identifier #"videosTutoriais" which looks like it might be a scanning error.
From your code, you are releasing the controller before you display in on the screen. Try releasing it after or in the dealloc method. If you are unsure about memory management. I suggest you try ARC instead to avoid silly errors and mistakes such as this.
The code looked like this:
sb = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard_iPad" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *controller = [[sb instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"navTutorial"] init];
_popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:controller];
[[self popover] presentPopoverFromRect:ancora.bounds inView:ancora permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
[controller release];

Present UIPopoverController with navigation controller

I am attempting to present a UIPopoverController similar to the bookmark selector in Safari with the title above and the ability to go back and forward. I found this tutorial: http://mobiforge.com/designing/story/using-popoverview-ipad-app-development and have followed it, yet my navigation bar is not appearing like it should be. Instead, it is appearing like it is recessed in the popover controller and not actually part of the popover controller. Below is the code I have so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Code:
- (IBAction)addAPrePlan:(id)sender
{
if (![self.preplanPopoverController isPopoverVisible]) {
// Initiate the popover controller
UITableViewController *pp = [[UITableViewController alloc] init];
pp.navigationItem.title = #"Add a PrePlan";
UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:pp];
UIPopoverController *popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:nav];
popover.delegate = self;
self.preplanPopoverController = popover;
}
else {
// Dissmiss the popover
[self.preplanPopoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
}
// Present the popover controller
[self.preplanPopoverController presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:self.addAPrePlanButton permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
}

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

UIPopoverController + UINavigationController = Delegate problems

I have two views setup ( inside a TabBar). The DetailView with a button that calls a PopOver with a NavigationController+UITableView (RootView) loading data from CoreData. I have a problem passing data from the UITableView to the DetailView. I have a protocol declared in RootView and used in the DetailView.
Here is the code I use to create the PopOver from the button because I think I have some delegate issues. Any help will be amazing,
- (IBAction)zoneListButtonController
{
if (self.controladorPopOver == nil) {
ipadrootviewController = [[iPadRootViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"iPadRootView" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
UINavigationController *ipadnavController = [[UINavigationController alloc]
initWithRootViewController:ipadrootviewController];
UIPopoverController *popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:ipadnavController];
self.controladorPopOver = popover;
popover.delegate = self;
self.title = #"Countries";
popover.popoverContentSize = CGSizeMake(320, 300);
[self.controladorPopOver presentPopoverFromRect:CGRectMake(112, 20, 86, 27) inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp animated:YES];
[ipadnavController release];
[controladorPopOver release];
}
}
An instance of the SubZone1iPadController doesn't exist when you create the popover in DetailView so you can't set its delegate property directly from the DetailView.
One option is to also add the delegate property to the iPadRootViewController which you can set in the zoneListButtonController method. Then, when ipadrootviewController creates the SubZone1iPadController, pass along the delegate.
So in both ipadrootviewController and SubZone1iPadController, add a delegate property:
#property (nonatomic,assign) id <SubZone1Tap> delegate;
Then, in the zoneListButtonController method, set the delegate property on iPadRootViewController:
ipadrootviewController = [[iPadRootViewController alloc] init...
ipadrootviewController.delegate = self;
Then, where ipadrootviewController creates SubZone1iPadController:
SubZone1iPadController *sz1 = [[SubZone1iPadController alloc] init...
sz1.delegate = self.delegate;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:...
[sz1 release];
Finally, in the DetailView, make sure the delegate method is implemented. For example:
-(void)SubZone1Tap:(NSString *)name
{
NSLog(#"SubZone1Tap, name = %#", name);
//dismiss the popover if that's what you need to do...
[controladorPopOver dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
}
