UIView in UIActionSheet - iphone

Question

I m adding a UIView in UIActionSheet and I need to add four labels on the view and a close button.But I need the UIactionSheet to start from center of screen.When I m adhusting the dimensions I couldnot get it .
-(IBAction)buttontapped:(id)sender{
UIView *showDetailsView = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,10, 320, 260)];
showDetailsView.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
UILabel *name =[[UILabel alloc] init];
[name setFrame:CGRectMake(10, 40,250, 50)];
name.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft;
name.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
name .font=[UIFont fontWithName:#"arial" size:12];
name.text=#"Name";
[showDetailsView addSubview:name];
UIActionSheet *aac = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:nil delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:#"Close", nil];
aac.actionSheetStyle = UIActionSheetStyleAutomatic;
[aac addSubview:showDetailsView];
[aac setFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,320,400)];
[aac showInView:self.view];
}
I can see it added from the bottom but it is not expanding to the center of screen like in the following figure:I need to increase its height.

Answer 1

From one of the SO's answer I get this method and it's works like charm :)
-(void)setActionSheetHeight
{
CGRect actionSheetRect = self.myActionSheet.frame;
CGFloat orgHeight = actionSheetRect.size.height;
actionSheetRect.origin.y -= 214; //height of picker
actionSheetRect.size.height = orgHeight+214;
self.myActionSheet.frame = actionSheetRect;
[self.myPicker setShowsSelectionIndicator:YES];
CGRect pickerRect = self.myPicker.frame;
pickerRect.origin.y = orgHeight;
self.myPicker.frame = pickerRect;
}
Here myActionSheet is one UIActionSheet iVar.
Here myPicker is one UIPickerView iVar.
Instead of 214 static value you can set your desired value and according to that it will set the height of the UIActionSheet.
NOTE
Must be called after the action sheet is shown ie after the [self.myActionSheet showFromTabBar:self.tabBarController.tabBar]; kind of line of code. Means after call the show method on action sheet.

Use this:
[aac setBounds:CGRectMake(0,0,320,400)];

Answer 3

UIActionSheet is designed to be presented from the bottom of the screen.
You can display it in center on ipad only..not in iphone.
You can use custom Alertview for your requirement.

When you present the actionsheet, you need to send appropriate message to present it. Refer to
showFromRect:inView:animated:
showInView:
For showInView:, you can have an invisible view with the bottom at mid-height of the view controller and top aligned to the top of viewcontroller.
For showFromRect:inView:animated:, if you have any UIView to which the actionsheet needs to be anchored, you can used it there.
