Initial and place an UIButton in an UIActionSheet with an UIPickerView - ios

I am implementing picker by Add UIPickerView & a Button in Action sheet - How?. I tried to replace the UISegmentedControl with a UIButton but it does not working. Could someone remind me why UIButton cannot be shown here?
Thank you.
- (IBAction) makeButtonPressed: (id) sender;
{
UIActionSheet *actionSheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] init];
[actionSheet setTitle:#"Select Make"];
[actionSheet setActionSheetStyle:UIActionSheetStyleBlackOpaque];
UIPickerView *pickerView = [[UIPickerView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 44, 0, 0)];
pickerView.dataSource = self;
pickerView.delegate = self;
pickerView.showsSelectionIndicator = YES;
[actionSheet addSubview:pickerView];
// UISegmentedControl *doneButton = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObject:#"Done"]];
// doneButton.momentary = YES;
// doneButton.frame = CGRectMake(260, 7.0f, 50.0f, 30.0f);
// doneButton.segmentedControlStyle = UISegmentedControlStyleBar;
// doneButton.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
// [doneButton addTarget:self action:#selector(makeDone:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
// [actionSheet addSubview:doneButton];
UIButton *doneButton = [[UIButton alloc] init];
doneButton.frame = CGRectMake(260, 7.0f, 50.0f, 30.0f);
[doneButton addTarget:self action:#selector(makeDone:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
[actionSheet addSubview:doneButton];
[actionSheet showInView:[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow]];
[actionSheet setBounds:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 460)];
}

The designated initializer for UIButton is +buttonWithType:. You should create your button with one of the predefined styles, or use UIButtonTypeCustom.
UIButton *doneButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundRect];
doneButton.frame = CGRectMake(260, 7.0f, 50.0f, 30.0f);
[doneButton addTarget:self action:#selector(makeDone:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
[actionSheet addSubview:doneButton];

iPad Actionsheet not showing

I am trying to display action sheet in iPad which will contain 2 buttons and date pickerview.
I displayed the action sheet in iphone properly but when I try to display the action sheet in iPad its just displaying one thick black line.
Currently its looking like :
and code for displaying action sheet is
UIButton *btnClicked=(UIButton *)sender;
menu = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:nil
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:nil
destructiveButtonTitle:nil
otherButtonTitles:nil];
/* menu=[[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:#"This will remove this recipe from all synced devices as well. Are you sure?" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" destructiveButtonTitle:#"Confirm Delete Recipe" otherButtonTitles:nil];*/
[menu setTag:121];
UILabel *titleLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10,5,300,20)];
[titleLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:#"Trebuchet MS" size:18.0f]];
titleLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
titleLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
titleLabel.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[titleLabel setNumberOfLines:1];
[menu addSubview: titleLabel];
UIButton *cancelButton = [UIButton buttonWithType: UIButtonTypeCustom];
cancelButton.frame = CGRectMake(30, 30, 124, 43);
[cancelButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"cancel_button.png"] forState: UIControlStateNormal];
[cancelButton addTarget:self action:#selector(cancelButtonClicked:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
cancelButton.adjustsImageWhenHighlighted = YES;
cancelButton.tag=33;
[menu addSubview: cancelButton];
UIButton *okButton = [UIButton buttonWithType: UIButtonTypeCustom];
okButton.frame = CGRectMake(170, 30, 124, 43);
[okButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"continue_button.png"] forState: UIControlStateNormal];
[okButton addTarget:self action:#selector(okButtonClicked:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
okButton.adjustsImageWhenHighlighted = YES;
[menu addSubview: okButton];
datePickerView = [[UIDatePicker alloc] init];
CGRect pickerRect = datePickerView.bounds;
pickerRect.origin.y = 75;
datePickerView.frame = pickerRect;
//---Picker view for from date selection
if (btnClicked.tag==51)
{
[titleLabel setText:SELECT_FROM_DATE];
NSDate *now = [Global todayDate];
int daysToAdd = 1;
NSDate *newDate = [now dateByAddingTimeInterval:60*60*24*daysToAdd];
// NSLog(#"%#",strDtFromDate);
datePickerView.minimumDate = newDate;
if (holidayType==2)
{
NSDate *holidayFromDate=[dateFormat dateFromString:objectSelectedGroup.fromDate];
// newDate=[holidayFromDate dateByAddingTimeInterval:60*60*24*daysToAdd];
if ([[Global todayDate] compare:holidayFromDate] == NSOrderedAscending)
{
datePickerView.minimumDate = holidayFromDate;
}
else if([[Global todayDate] compare:holidayFromDate] == NSOrderedDescending)
{
datePickerView.minimumDate = newDate;
}
NSDate *holidayToDate=[dateFormat dateFromString:objectSelectedGroup.toDate];
NSLog(#"%#",objectSelectedGroup.fromDate);
NSLog(#"%#",objectSelectedGroup.toDate);
datePickerView.maximumDate = holidayToDate;
}
okButton.tag=34;
}
else if(btnClicked.tag==52)
{
[titleLabel setText:SELECT_TO_DATE];
datePickerView.minimumDate=stringDate;
NSDate *holidayToDate=[dateFormat dateFromString:objectSelectedGroup.toDate];
datePickerView.maximumDate=holidayToDate;
okButton.tag=35;
}
datePickerView.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDate;
stringDate=[datePickerView date];
[datePickerView addTarget:self action:#selector(selectedDateChanged:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
[menu addSubview:datePickerView];
//menu.actionSheetStyle=UIActionSheetStyleBlackTranslucent;
[menu showInView:self.view];
[menu setFrame:CGRectMake(0,self.view.frame.size.height - 290,320,290)];
And same code is working fine for iphone.
How to solve this?
Use PopOver Controller to display action sheet on ipad. To use actionsheet on Popover controller refer the following links,
UIDatePicker in UIActionSheet on iPad
UIActionSheet on iPad frame too small
UIActionaSheet is not fit for IPad and they most time behave unpredicted around frame
I would recommend a UIPopoverController with a custom UIViewController for doing this kinda user experience.
you can try replacing last two line with following lines,
[menu setFrame:CGRectMake(0,self.view.frame.size.height - 290,320,290)];
[menu showInView:[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate] window]];

UIButton inside UITextField

I'm trying to put a UIButton inside UITextfield, to act as a "Done" button to resign the responder. I've tried with the following code, when the field starts editing the done button in the UITextField leftView is visible, however if I select a value from the datePicker or make any text input with the keyboard (in simulator), the done button disappears and the right clearButton is shown.
It seems like it toggles between them both, I changed textFld.LeftViewMode to display always the button but that is not what I'd like...
Thanks in advance!.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
txtFld = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 310, 25)];
txtFld.placeholder = #"__/__/____";
txtFld.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"HelveticaNeue" size:11];
txtFld.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
txtFld.contentVerticalAlignment = UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentCenter;
txtFld.contentHorizontalAlignment = UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentCenter;
txtFld.clearButtonMode = UITextFieldViewModeWhileEditing;
txtFld.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;
UIButton *doneButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
doneButton.bounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, 40, 20);
doneButton.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 40.0, 20.0);
doneButton.titleLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"HelveticaNeue" size:10];
[doneButton setTitle:#"Done" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
doneButton.imageEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, -16, 0, 0);
[doneButton addTarget:self action:#selector(resignResponder:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
doneButton.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
// Add button to the UITextField
txtFld.leftView = doneButton;
txtFld.leftViewMode = UITextFieldViewModeWhileEditing;
UIDatePicker *datePicker = [[UIDatePicker alloc] init];
datePicker.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDate;
[datePicker addTarget:self action:#selector(datePickerValueChanged:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
[txtFld setInputView:datePicker];
[self.view addSubview:txtFld];
}
-(void)resignResponder:(UIButton *)sender{
UITextField *associatedTxtFld = (UITextField *) sender.superview ;
if ([associatedTxtFld isFirstResponder]) {
[associatedTxtFld resignFirstResponder];
}
}
-(void)datePickerValueChanged:(id)sender{
UIDatePicker *picker = (UIDatePicker *)sender;
NSDateFormatter *formater = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
[formater setDateFormat:#"dd-MM-yyyy"];
txtFld.text = [formater stringFromDate:picker.date];
}
The below code works fine for me . This could be a solution to resign your pickerview
UITextField *dispayNameField = [UITextField alloc]init];
UIButton *userStatusButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
userStatusButton.frame=CGRectMake(0, 0, 20, 20);
[userStatusButton addTarget:self action:#selector(selectUserStatus) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
displayNameField.rightViewMode = UITextFieldViewModeAlways;
displayNameField.rightView = _userStatusButton;
-(void)selectUserStatus
{
displayNameField.inputView = _dataPickerView;
self.editUserProfileScrollView.scrollEnabled = YES;
UIActionSheet *actionSheetForDate = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:nil delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:nil];
[actionSheetForDate showInView:self.parentViewController.tabBarController.view];
[actionSheetForDate setBounds:CGRectMake(0,0,320, 500)];
UIDatePicker = [[UIDatePicker alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 50, 320, 216)];
_dataPickerView.tag = 1;
_dataPickerView.showsSelectionIndicator = YES;
_dataPickerView.dataSource = self;
_dataPickerView.delegate = self;
[_actionSheetForDate addSubview:_dataPickerView];
[_actionSheetForDate sendSubviewToBack:_dataPickerView];
UIToolbar *pickerToolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 44)];
pickerToolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent;
[pickerToolbar sizeToFit];
UIBarButtonItem *doneButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemDone target:self action:#selector(dismissActionSheetUserField)];
UIBarButtonItem *flexSpace = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:self action:nil];
UIBarButtonItem *btnBarCancel = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemCancel target:self action:#selector(dismissActionSheetUserField)];
[pickerToolbar setItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:btnBarCancel,flexSpace,doneButton, nil] animated:YES];
[_actionSheetForDate addSubview:pickerToolbar];
displayNameField.inputAccessoryView = pickerToolbar;
}

UIdate picker does not move freely

I have a UIbutton on my UIViewController. Clicking that opens up an UIActionSheet with a UIDatePicker on it and a close button. I set the UIDatePicker to date mode .So it shows up with todays date. Suppose i want to select 2015 instead of 2013, i have to scroll down. But it won't allow me to scroll down. I have to scroll up once to 2012 and then scroll down. This seems like a minor issue but the client wants to scroll properly down. I checked on my personal phone to set alarm, i can freely scroll down. I don't have to scroll up and then scroll down. So this is what happens on button click.
- (IBAction)btnShowDateNeededClick:(UIButton *)sender
{
UIDatePicker *datePickerView = [[UIDatePicker alloc]init];
datePickerView.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeTime;
self.actSheet = [[ UIActionSheet alloc]init];
UISegmentedControl *closeButton = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObject:#"Close"]];
closeButton.momentary = YES;
closeButton.frame = CGRectMake(260, 7.0f, 50.0f, 30.0f);
closeButton.segmentedControlStyle = UISegmentedControlStyleBar;
closeButton.tintColor = [UIColor blueColor];
closeButton.tag = 101;
[closeButton addTarget:self action:#selector(dismissActionSheetWithTime:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
[self.actSheet addSubview:closeButton];
[self.actSheet showInView:self.view];
[self.actSheet addSubview:datePickerView];
[self.actSheet sendSubviewToBack:datePickerView];
[self.actSheet setBounds:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 500)];
}
As you see, i have datePicker, segment control as a button added to UIActionsheet. Now do i have to change settings or date picker? If you need more information, please ask. Thanks.
Try This. may be this help.
In .h File.
UIDatePicker *datePickerView;
UIActionSheet *Actionsheet1;
In .m File
In viewDidLoad Method
// Picker Initialization
datePickerView = [[UIDatePicker alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 40, 0, 0)];
datePickerView.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDateAndTime;
Make a function which will be called on your Button click
-(void) Create_Start_Date_Picker_Function
{
Actionsheet1 = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:nil delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:nil
destructiveButtonTitle:nil
otherButtonTitles:nil];
Actionsheet1.actionSheetStyle = UIActionSheetStyleBlackOpaque;
[Actionsheet1 addSubview: datePickerView];
[Actionsheet1 showInView:self.view];
[Actionsheet1 setBounds:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 485)];
UISegmentedControl *closeButton = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObject:#"Done"]];
closeButton.momentary = YES;
closeButton.frame = CGRectMake(260, 7.0f, 50.0f, 30.0f);
closeButton.segmentedControlStyle = UISegmentedControlStyleBar;
closeButton.tintColor = [UIColor blueColor];
[closeButton addTarget:self action:#selector(Dismiss_Actionshit1) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
[Actionsheet1 addSubview:closeButton];
}
And in method for dismiss actionshit.
-(void) Dismiss_Actionshit1
{
// Your action sheet dismiss code
}

UIPicker / UIActionSheet works fine on iPhone but only thin line on iPad

The following Code works fine on iPhone, but not on iPad. Only get a thin line instead of the full view. Have been researching and maybe something with the rect for the picker? All size numbers seem to be reasonable.
actionSheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:nil delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:nil destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:nil];
[actionSheet setActionSheetStyle:UIActionSheetStyleBlackTranslucent];
CGRect pickerFrame = CGRectMake(0, 40, 0, 0);
if ( isipad ) pickerFrame = CGRectMake(0, 345, 400, 216);
pickerView = [[UIPickerView alloc] initWithFrame:pickerFrame];
pickerView.showsSelectionIndicator = YES;
pickerView.dataSource = self;
pickerView.delegate = self;
[actionSheet addSubview:pickerView];
[pickerView release];
UISegmentedControl *closeButton = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObject:#"Select"]];
closeButton.momentary = YES;
closeButton.frame = CGRectMake(10, 7.0f, 100.0f, 30.0f);
closeButton.segmentedControlStyle = UISegmentedControlStyleBar;
closeButton.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
[closeButton addTarget:self action:#selector(dismissActionSheet:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
[actionSheet addSubview:closeButton];
[closeButton release];
UISegmentedControl *skipButton = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObject:#"Skip Birth Year"]];
skipButton.momentary = YES;
skipButton.frame = CGRectMake(200, 7.0f, 100.0f, 30.0f);
skipButton.segmentedControlStyle = UISegmentedControlStyleBar;
skipButton.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
[skipButton addTarget:self action:#selector(skipActionSheet:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
[actionSheet addSubview:skipButton];
[skipButton release];
[actionSheet setBounds:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, 216)];
[actionSheet showInView:self.view];
[actionSheet setBounds:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, 216)];
Well, got it to work by putting most of the code in
- (void)willPresentActionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet
including
pickerFrame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 214);
AND
initWithTitle:#"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
for the action sheet. Magic I guess.
Is this correct:
CGRect pickerFrame = CGRectMake(0, 40, 0, 0); //This line sets the frame height and width equal to 0.
if ( isipad ) pickerFrame = CGRectMake(0, 345, 400, 216);
Is your isipad bool working ok?
Thanks for your post ort11.
I needed to make an iPad app and I did working copy-paste code from iPhone app and on iPad is the same: a small line :)
My needs is a language chooser only, nothing else.
Here are the codes based on your answer:
- (IBAction)btLanguageChooserPressed {
NSLog(#"btLanguageChooserPressed");
[self createLanguageSheet];
// show the sheet: will be invoked the willPresentActionSheet method
[sheet showInView:self.view];
}
- (void)createLanguageSheet {
NSLog(#"createLanguageSheet()");
// hoolly crap, need to initialize the title with: #"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n" to get working!!!
sheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:#"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:nil
destructiveButtonTitle:nil
otherButtonTitles:nil];
[sheet setActionSheetStyle:UIActionSheetStyleBlackTranslucent];
}
- (void)willPresentActionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet
{
CGRect pickerFrame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 216);
pickerView = [[UIPickerView alloc] initWithFrame:pickerFrame];
pickerView.showsSelectionIndicator = YES;
pickerView.dataSource = self;
pickerView.delegate = self;
[sheet addSubview:pickerView];
// add close button:
UISegmentedControl *closeButton = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObject:#"OK"]];
closeButton.momentary = YES;
closeButton.frame = CGRectMake(120, 12, 100, 30);
closeButton.segmentedControlStyle = UISegmentedControlStyleBar;
closeButton.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
[closeButton addTarget:self action:#selector(dismissSheet:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
[sheet addSubview:closeButton];
[sheet setBounds:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, 216)];
//[sheet showInView:self.view];//already called, why need again?
//[sheet setBounds:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, 216)];
}
at runtime I do a cache in a variable:
- (void)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView didSelectRow:(NSInteger)row inComponent:(NSInteger)component {
NSLog(#"Selected: %#", [arrayLanguages objectAtIndex:row]) ;
selectedRow = row;
}
and here is the finish:
- (void)dismissSheet:(id)sender {
[sheet dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:0 animated:YES];
NSString* selectedLanguage = [arrayLanguages objectAtIndex:selectedRow];
NSLog(#"dismissSheet() selectedLanguage: %#",selectedLanguage);
switch (selectedRow) {
case 0://English
imgCurrentLanguage.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"english.png"];
break;
case 1:// Deutsch
break;
case 2://Français
break;
case 3://Italiano
break;
case 4://Español
break;
default:
break;
}
// TODO: do the changes in GUI
}
I am not able to move this actionsheet from the center of the screen to botton- left corner. But I am trying...
I think this would be the cleanest solution :
#interface MyActionSheet : UIActionSheet
#property (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UIView * customView;
#end
#implementation MyActionSheet
-(CGRect)bounds {
return self.customView.bounds;
}
#end
then:
MyActionSheet * s = [[MyActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:nil delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:nil destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:nil];
s.customView = _auxView;
[s addSubview:_auxView];

iPad popover presentpopoverfrombarbuttonitem

I have added a few buttons to the right side of the navigation bar with the following:
UIView* customView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 44)];
customView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
UIButton* button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
button.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 45, 44);
button.contentHorizontalAlignment = UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentCenter;
button.contentVerticalAlignment = UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentCenter;
button.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"toc.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
button.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
[button addTarget:self action:#selector(tableOfContentsAction) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[customView addSubview:button];
button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
button.frame = CGRectMake(50, 0, 45, 44);
button.contentHorizontalAlignment = UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentCenter;
button.contentVerticalAlignment = UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentCenter;
button.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"bookmark.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
button.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
[button addTarget:self action:#selector(bookmarkButtonAction) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[customView addSubview:button];
UIBarButtonItem *segmentBarItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:customView];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = segmentBarItem;
[customView release];
[segmentBarItem release];
This works well. For both buttons I show a popOver as shown below
- (void) bookmarkButtonAction
{
BookmarksViewController* content = [[BookmarksViewController alloc] initWithOrientation:lastOrientation selectedPage:selectedPage];
UIPopoverController* aPopover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:content];
CGSize size = content.view.frame.size;
aPopover.popoverContentSize = size;
aPopover.delegate = self;
self.bookmarksPopoverVC = content;
self.bookmarksPopoverVC.popUpController = aPopover;
[content release];
[aPopover presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp animated:YES];
[aPopover release];
bookmarksShowing = YES;
}
The problem is that I am using presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem and this shows the top arrow in the middle of the two buttons. How can I attach the arrow to each button?
instead of using this line:
aPopover presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem
You may better try this line:
aPopover presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:sender
I think that would solve your problem
try this:
- (IBAction)products:(id)sender {
UIButton* btn = (UIButton *)sender;
[productsPopover presentPopoverFromRect:[btn bounds] inView:btn permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
}
Works like a charm
