How to load popover in swift - swift

Question

I am trying to get a popover working in swift.
The view i am trying to put into the popover is in its own separate xib.
The code to load is below
let view = OrganisationDetails()
view.modalPresentationStyle = .Popover
let popoverMenuViewController = view.popoverPresentationController
view.preferredContentSize = CGSizeMake(550,550)
popoverMenuViewController?.permittedArrowDirections = .Any
popoverMenuViewController?.delegate = self
popoverMenuViewController?.sourceView = sender
popoverMenuViewController?.sourceRect = CGRect(x: 1, y: 1, width: 60, height: 60)
presentViewController(view, animated: true, completion: nil)
What is happening atm is the popover is loading totally blank and not displaying the view.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong
Thanks

Answer 1

Actually it is much simpler than that. In the storyboard you should make the viewcontroller you want to use as popover and make a viewcontroller class for it as usual. Make a segue as shown below from the object you want to open the popover, in this case the UIBarButton named "Config".
In the "mother viewcontroller" implement the "UIPopoverPresentationControllerDelegate" and the delegate method:
func popoverPresentationControllerDidDismissPopover(popoverPresentationController: UIPopoverPresentationController) {
//do som stuff from the popover
}
Override the "prepareForSeque" method like this:
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
//segue for the popover configuration window
if segue.identifier == "yourSegueIdentifierForPopOver" {
if let controller = segue.destinationViewController as? UIViewController {
controller.popoverPresentationController!.delegate = self
controller.preferredContentSize = CGSize(width: 320, height: 186)
}
}
}
And your done. And you can now treat the popover view as any other view, ie. add fields and what not!

This is how I do it
//MARK:idPopupFileTable
let popoverVC = storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("idPopupFileTable") as UIViewController
popoverVC.modalPresentationStyle = .Popover
popoverVC.preferredContentSize = CGSizeMake(300, 200)
if let popoverController = popoverVC.popoverPresentationController {
popoverController.sourceView = sender
popoverController.sourceRect = sender.bounds
popoverController.permittedArrowDirections = .Any
popoverController.delegate = self
}
presentViewController(popoverVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
