UIPopoverController does not appear - ipad

I think I've spent 3 days trying various people's online solutions to make a popover appear and work and literally not a single example has worked.
But here is my current code. Can someone tell me why my popover is not appearing? Thanks.
popper = [[Popper alloc] initWithNibName: #"Popper" bundle: nil];
navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController: popper];
[navigationController presentModalViewController: popper animated:YES];
[navigationController release];
[popper release];
Notes:
My Popper class inherits from UIViewController.
I have set my Xib's class to Popper in IB.
I have set my main view controller to use UIPopoverControllerDelegate.

So have you added the navigationController to your view?
why not do:
[self presentModalViewController: popper animated:YES];

When you already initialise the navigation controller with a view all you need to do is add the navigation controller to your view.
[self.view addSubView: navigationController.view];
Dont present it as modal.

UIPopoverController is only available on the iPad, and since you've tagged your question with iPhone I'm assuming this may well be the issue.

For custom popovers, I recommend WEPopover
http://iosdevelopertips.com/open-source/ios-open-source-popover-api-for-iphone-wepopover.html
Just attach the view controller to the wepopovercontroller and you are done.
WEPopoverController *popOver = [[WEPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:saveViewController];
[popOver presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:sender permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp animated:YES];
[saveViewControlle release];

Issue while pushing ABNewPersonViewController

I am using AddressBookUI Framework for Adding contact, when I tried to pushing this view controller then cancel and done button not working properly, I don't want to present it
Here is my code
ABNewPersonViewController *abnpvc = [[ABNewPersonViewController alloc] init];
[abnpvc setNewPersonViewDelegate: self];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:abnpvc animated:YES];
I am also tried add as subview rather then pushing it but when I am adding as subview then it was not added
As per comment i have tried like
UINavigationController *navigation = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:abnpvc];
[self presentViewController:navigation animated:YES completion:nil];
Can anyone help me out why properly not working ?
You can implement that too considering also the other answers and the deprecations to ABNewPersonViewController in iOS 9.
As per your remarks:
cancel and done button not working properly
They are working if you have included the ABNewPersonViewControllerDelegate on interface like this:
#interface ViewController () <ABNewPersonViewControllerDelegate>
Pushing the viewController on navigation stack like this:
ABNewPersonViewController *controller = [[ABNewPersonViewController alloc] init];
controller.newPersonViewDelegate = self;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
And by conforming to the protocol by implementing this method:
- (void)newPersonViewController:(ABNewPersonViewController *)newPersonView didCompleteWithNewPerson:(nullable ABRecordRef)person {
// Trick to go back to your view by popping it from the navigation stack when done or cancel button is pressed
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
The tricky line is to pop the newPersonController from the navigation stack when either Done or Cancel button are pressed.
Enjoy it
Why can't you just do it as the docs say?
It is recommended that you present a new-person view controller modally.
Use
ABNewPersonViewController *abnpvc = [[ABNewPersonViewController alloc] init];
[abnpvc setNewPersonViewDelegate: self];
[self presentViewController:abnpvc animated:YES completion:nil];
That should work fine.
Edit
On second thought, did you set your delegate correctly and do the implementations get called? I suspect they are not implemented or the delegate is not set correctly.
Apple guideline(IMPORTANT) :: New-person view controllers must be used with a navigation controller in order to function properly. It is recommended that you present a new-person view controller modally.
Add Delegate
#interface ViewController () <ABNewPersonViewControllerDelegate>
Pushing the viewController
ABNewPersonViewController *abnpvc = [[ABNewPersonViewController alloc] init];
[abnpvc setNewPersonViewDelegate: self];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:abnpvc];
[self presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];
And Now Add Delegate Method
#pragma mark ABNewPersonViewControllerDelegate methods
- (void)newPersonViewController:(ABNewPersonViewController *)newPersonViewController didCompleteWithNewPerson:(ABRecordRef)person
{
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
}
That will work fine.

Push a View from popOver in ipad

I open a popOver with a view(DetailView) in a view(MapView). it works fine.
But in my detail view has a button(feedback).so i want to push the another view(feedbackform)on btton clicked.
I tried but nothing is Happened.
Can i push the view inside the popover?
My code is as follow:
// MapView.m
detailsView *popUp=[[detailsView alloc] initWithNibName:#"detailsView_ipad" bundle:nil];
popView = [[UIPopoverController alloc]initWithContentViewController:popUp];
popView.delegate =self;
[popView setPopoverContentSize:CGSizeMake(600, 500)];
[popView presentPopoverFromRect:control.frame inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp animated:YES];
}
//Detailview.m
-(IBAction)openFeedbackForm:(id)sender {
fbView = [[deatailsFeedback alloc]
initWithNibName:#"deatailsFeedback_ipad" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:fbView animated:YES];
}
To achieve this your detailsView should be a Navigation controller with a root controller to the original detailsView.
This way when you pop the navigationController, you can perform push from your detailsView and that would only affect the popOver view
detailsView *popUpView=[[detailsView alloc] initWithNibName:#"detailsView_ipad" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *popUpNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:popUpView];
popView = [[UIPopoverController alloc]initWithContentViewController:popUpNavController];
popView.delegate =self;
[popView setPopoverContentSize:CGSizeMake(600, 500)];
[popView presentPopoverFromRect:control.frame inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp animated:YES];
}
//Detailview.m
-(IBAction)openFeedbackForm:(id)sender {
fbView = [[deatailsFeedback alloc]
initWithNibName:#"deatailsFeedback_ipad" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:fbView animated:YES];
}
If I understand your code correctly, openFeedForm IBAction method is in Detailview.m?
Meaning the first part of the code is in a different class than the one at the bottom?
If so, since Detailview itself is not in a navigationController, it will not push anything to its non-existant navigation controller.
What you want to do is have MapView push the new view in its navigationController.
Side note: since you are setting the delegate of the popUp in MapView as (self) the IBAction method should be defined in MapView
(This is assuming my first statement about understanding your code is correct)

adding an UINavigationController to a UIControllerView

i was searching this whole afternoon in hope of solution but i didn't manage to find anything helping me solve the problem.
The problem is, i have no intention of using UINavigationController until a button gets taped, and after that i would like to present view controller containing a navigationcontroller, or reverse, modally. in my search i came across this solution:
MyExampleViewController *vc = [[[MyExampleViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"MyExample" bundle:nil] autorelease];
UINavigationController *navController = [[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vc] autorelease];
[self presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];
which i then used it in my code and found out it is not working, to make sure i started a practice project from viewbased project templet and added this to the first view controller
- (IBAction) buttonGotPreseed{
testino *testController = [[testino alloc] initWithNibName:#"testino" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:testController];
testController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
[self presentModalViewController:testController animated:YES];
[nav release];
[testController release];
}
didn't work also, im not seeing the navigation bar up there
any help would be greatly appreciated
You're pushing the root view controller, not the navigation controller itself. Line 5 should be:
[self presentModalViewController:nav animated:YES];

How to create view hierarchy programmatically?

I usually create my view hierarchy's in IB but this time I need to do it in my code. Basically I already have my custom view but I want it to be contained inside a UINavigationController. So how can I do that?
If you wish to nest it in a Navigation controller you should use :
UIViewController * myViewController = [[GameController alloc] init];
myViewController.view = yourCustumeView;//if you are trying to add a UIView
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc]
initWithRootViewController:myViewController];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:navigationController animated:YES];
[navigationController release];
[myViewController release];
Good luck
EDIT
add this code (before the release):
navigationController.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem=nil;//change it to rightBarButtonItem if the button is on the right.
If you want to create several ViewControllers then you can allocate them in code and then in order to show them just push it like this:
RegistrationViewController * regView= [[RegistrationViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:regView animated:YES];

Dismissing iPad UIPopoverController from within its content controller

So I have a popover with a button in it. When that button is pushed, I want the popover to go away. It seems easy enough, but I can't figure it out for the life of me. The code I use to show the popover is below:
AddCategoryViewController* content = [[AddCategoryViewController alloc] init];
UIPopoverController* aPopover = [[UIPopoverController alloc]
initWithContentViewController:content];
aPopover.delegate = self;
[content release];
// Store the popover in a custom property for later use.
self.addCategoryPopover = aPopover;
[aPopover release];
[addCategoryPopover presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:sender permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp animated:YES];
Within the addcategoryviewcontroller, I have:
-(IBAction)saveAddCategory:(id)sender {
if (rootViewController == nil)
rootViewController = [[RootViewController alloc] init];
[rootViewController.addCategoryPopover dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
[rootViewController dismissPopover];
}
Rootviewcontroller is where the popover is being created from. Unfortunately, neither of those methods work to dismiss it. any help?
You would be seeing a warning at this line.
aPopover.delegate = self;
and if you would execute your code. The app would crash. Instead you need to do it like this.
I have
- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)anAnimated
{
[self.dPopover dismissPopoverAnimated: NO];
self.dPopover = nil;
[super viewWillDisappear: anAnimated];
}
and don't see why this wouldn't work in your case.
Your if is a bit troubling, so my guess is you aren't talking to the view you think you are. rootViewController.addCategoryPopover is probably nil, because you made a new controller.
I think I answered just a similar question with the solution I used to dismiss a popover with a UIView loaded from a MKMapView.
The use of my solution is basically the same as for any other view loading a popover.
Have a look at:
How to dismissPopoverAnimated on iPad with UIPopoverController in MKMapView (SDK3.2). I hope that solved your problem.
