Dismiss UIPopoverController on didSelectRowAtIndexPath - iphone

Question

I have implemented UIPopoverController with storyboard but i am not able to make it dismiss when I select particular row in UITableView.
When select particular row so that time I want to dismiss the popover but I am not able dismiss it.
I write below code for this:
//Show the popover in Main UIViewController
-(IBAction)clickNotes:(id)sender {
NSLog(#"notes:");
NoteList *objNoteList = [[NoteList alloc] initWithNibName:#"NoteList" bundle:nil];
popover.delegate = self;
popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:objNoteList];
popover.popoverContentSize = CGSizeMake(250, 450);
[popover presentPopoverFromRect:CGRectMake(730, 0, 1,1) inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp animated:YES];
}
//Hide the popover in another UIViewController on didSelecteRowAtIndexPath
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
Notepad_ipad *objNote = [[Notepad_ipad alloc] init];
NSString *mSelectedNoteText = #"Selected text";
[objNote SelectedNote:mSelectedNoteText];
[objNote.popover dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
}

Answer 1

use
[popover dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];

Answer 2

The following code instantiates a NEW Instance. So it has nothing to do with the already existing popover :Notepad_ipad *objNote = [[Notepad_ipad alloc] init];
Also Instead Of :
popover.delegate = self;
popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:objNoteList];
USE:
popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:objNoteList];
popover.delegate = self;
I.e.: Allocate the instance first and then set its delegate.
Finally replace your method
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
with this:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *) indexPath {
[popover dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
}

// Create protocol in .h file of controller which contains didSelectRowAtIndexPath method as follows:
#protocol Popoverdelegate <NSObject>
{
-(void)didRowAtIndexPathIsSelected;
}
// Add this property in .h file of the same controller
#property (strong, nonatomic) id<Popoverdelegate> delegate;
// Now implement this protocol in interface which calls popovercontroller
// for ex: #interface ViewController <Popovercontroller>
// then add following properties to viewController .h file
#protocol (strong, nonatomic) UIPopoverController *popoverController;
// Implement popoverdelegate protocol in .m file as
- (void) didRowAtIndexPathIsSelected
{
[self.popoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
}
// Replace your code as follows
-(IBAction)clickNotes:(id)sender
{
NoteList *objNoteList = [[NoteList alloc] initWithNibName:#"NoteList" bundle:nil];
popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:objNoteList];
popover.delegate = self;
self.popoverController = popover;
self.popoverController.popoverContentSize = CGSizeMake(250, 450);
[self.popoverController presentPopoverFromRect:CGRectMake(730, 0, 1,1) inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp animated:YES];
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
Notepad_ipad *objNote = [[Notepad_ipad alloc] init];
NSString *mSelectedNoteText = #"Selected text";
[objNote SelectedNote:mSelectedNoteText];
[self.delegate dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
}

Answer 4

The smartest thing to do here (imho) is to follow this example code, I do it every time:
// firstViewController.h
#interface firstViewController : UIViewController <SecondDelegate>
{
SecondViewController *choice;
}
// firstViewController.m
- (void)choicePicked(NSString *)choice
{
NSLog(choice);
[_popover dismissPopoverAnimated:YES]; //(put it here)
_popover = nil; (deallocate the popover)
_choicePicker = nil; (deallocate the SecondViewController instance)
}
// secondViewController.h (the one that will give back the data)
#protocol SecondDelegate <NSObject>
- (void)choicePicked:(NSString *)choice;
#end
#interface secondViewController : UITableViewController
#property (nonatomic, assign) id <SecondDelegate> delegate;
#end
// secondViewController.m
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSString *selection = [_yourArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[[self delegate] choicePicked:selection];
}
