I want to open a popover on button click event.
Like below image:
But what i m getting is:
The Code i had used for the popover is:
PopOver *PopOver_obj=[[PopOver alloc]initWithNibName:#"PopOver_ipad" bundle:nil ];
UIPopoverController *popoverController = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:PopOver_obj];
popoverController.delegate = self;
CGSize maximumLabelSize = CGSizeMake(320.0f,200.0f);
popoverController.popoverContentSize = maximumLabelSize;
CGRect rect = CGRectMake(100,100, 200.0f, 100.0f);
[popoverController presentPopoverFromRect:rect inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp animated:YES];
UPDATE
For iOS 5 you can use popoverLayoutMargins property of the popover to set an inset relative to the device's screen edges. See this for more detail.
As far as I can see from your screenshot you have a black colored view and a white one but you are showing the popup in their superview.
You can try using - (void)presentPopoverFromRect:(CGRect)rect inView:(UIView *)view permittedArrowDirections:(UIPopoverArrowDirection)arrowDirections animated:(BOOL)animated method and pass the white view as the view argument of the method and UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp for the arrowDirections argument.
I think that might restrict the popover to go outside the view thus keeping it under your + button.
Let me know if that helps.

i am creating the search bar and table view programatically using the following code
UISearchBar* searchBar = [[UISearchBar alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,320,40)];
searchBar.delegate = self;
[self.view addSubview:searchBar];
UITableView* tblView = [[UITableView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 41, 320, 400)];
tblView.delegate = self;
tblView.dataSource = self;
[self.view addSubview:tblView];
now i made the return value yes in the following method to to rotate the screen wrt device orientation
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return YES;
}
and i used following code in loadView
self.view.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
following is my output
but still search bar and table views are not fitting to the screen in landscape mode, what should i do can any one help me,,thanx in advance
you have told the view to resize but you haven't told the search bar you created to resize try something like:
searchbar.autorezingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
do the same for the table view.
see if that gives you the result you are looking for. IF that doesn't work you can always resize the frame of the search bar and table view after rotation.
Try calling this autoresizingMask in ViewWillAppear method.
if you assign frame of any object...you have to provide new frame when it rotates.
Give a new frame in following method based on toInterfaceOrientation.
-(void)willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration
Simple:
A view, i present a UIPopoverController in a CGRect using presentPopoverFromRect...
and neither the arrow or the popover frame appear even near to the coordinates i asked for in the rect i passed into.
Any clues?
I've been trying to figure out this by myself but am giving up. Here is the code:
if(!myContentController){
myContentController = [[MyContentController alloc] initWithNibName:myNibName bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
// This works pretty well. actually when i show the popover
// i see everything inside as it's supposed to.
}
if(!popover){
popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:myContentController];
}
else{
[popover setContentController:myContentController];
}
popover.delegate = self;
CGPoint touchPointInView = [self touchPoint];//This is working fine too.I've been checking with NSLog.
popover.ContentSize = myPopoverSize;//In this case {320,480}
[popover presentPopoverFromRect:CGRectMake(touchPoint.x,touchPoint.y,myPopoverSize.width,myPopverSize.height)
inView:self.view
permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny
animated:YES];
What happens next? the popover doesn't shows where it should be. If i pass {0,0} it shows in the middle of the screen as if the view size were (768,512). I checked all the view dimensions and they are all ok, frame,bounds, etc... . Does anyone knows what am i doing wrong?
The CGRect you give to presentPopoverFromRect is the rect that it will display the popover next to (not in). Depending on the location of the rect, the popover will appear on an appropriate side of the specified rect.
If you want the popover to appear at a specific point, give it a rect with the origin as the point and the size as 1,1. So the CGRectMake in the presentPopoverFromRect line should be:
CGRectMake(touchPoint.x,touchPoint.y,1,1)
Also make sure that the touchPoint is relative to the inView (self.view in your case).
By the way, there are a few other errors in the code (probably just typos in the question):
setContentController should be setContentViewController
popover.ContentSize should be popover.popoverContentSize
myPopverSize.height should be myPopoverSize.height (but this will be replaced by 1)
In my case the reason of this problem was following. It is also possible, that your view is a tableView. So, when you scroll it and try to show UIPopover in a rect in that tableView, it may not be shown. I used this:
[_popoverController presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
I'm writing an iPhone app that (like most apps) supports auto-rotation: You rotate your phone, and its views rotate and resize appropriately.
But I am assigning a custom view to navigationItem.titleView (the title area of the navigation bar), and I can't get that view to resize correctly when the phone rotates.
I know what you're thinking, "Just set its autoresizingMask to UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight," but it's not that simple. Of course, if I don't set my view's autoresizingMask, then my view doesn't resize; and I want it to resize.
The problem is, if I do set its autoresizingMask, then it resizes correctly as long as that view is visible; but the titleView's size gets messed up in this scenario:
Run the app, with the phone held in portrait mode. Everything looks good.
Do something that causes the app to push another view onto the navigation stack. E.g. click a table row or button that causes a call to [self.navigationController pushViewController:someOtherViewController animated:YES].
While viewing the child controller, rotate the phone to landscape.
Click the "Back" button to return to the top-level view. At this point, the title view is messed up: Although you are holding the phone in landscape mode, the title view is still sized as if you were holding it in portrait mode.
Finally, rotate the phone back to portrait mode. Now things get even worse: The title view shrinks in size (since the navigation bar got smaller), but since it was already too small, now it is much too small.
If you want to reproduce this yourself, follow these steps (this is a bit of work):
Make an app using Xcode's "Navigation-based Application" wizard.
Set it up so that the top-level table view has rows that, when you click them, push a detail view onto the navigation stack.
Include this code in both the top-level view controller and the detail view controller:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:
(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
return (interfaceOrientation != UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown);
}
Include this code in only the top-level view controller:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Create "Back" button
UIBarButtonItem *backButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Master"
style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:nil action:nil];
self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = backButton;
[backButton release];
// Create title view
UILabel* titleView = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,500,38)] autorelease];
titleView.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
titleView.text = #"Watch this title view";
// If I leave the following line turned on, then resizing of the title view
// messes up if I:
//
// 1. Start at the master view (which uses this title view) in portrait
// 2. Navigate to the detail view
// 3. Rotate the phone to landscape
// 4. Navigate back to the master view
// 5. Rotate the phone back to portrait
//
// On the other hand, if I remove the following line, then I get a different
// problem: The title view doesn't resize as I want it to when I:
//
// 1. Start at the master view (which uses this title view) in portrait
// 2. Rotate the phone to landscape
titleView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
self.navigationItem.titleView = titleView;
}
Finally, follow my repro steps.
So ... am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to make my titleView always resize correctly?
You should also set the contentMode of the UIImageView to get the titleView properly displayed in landscape and/or portrait mode :
imgView.contentMode=UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
The whole sequence: (self is a UIViewController instance)
UIImageView* imgView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"myCustomTitle.png"]];
imgView.autoresizingMask=UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
imgView.contentMode=UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
self.navigationItem.titleView = imgView;
[imgView release];
I had something similar - but it was returning (popping) to root view controller. Ultimately, I went with the following for popping:
[[self navigationController] setNavigationBarHidden:YES animated:NO];
[[self navigationController] popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
[[self navigationController] setNavigationBarHidden:NO animated:NO];
And it worked. There may have been a better way but - after all the hours I'd already spent on this issue - this was good enough for me.
I dealt with this same issue by keeping track of the customView's initial frame, then toggling between that and a scaled CGRect of the initial frame in a -setLandscape method on a UIButton subclass. I used the UIButton subclass as navigationItem.titleView and navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.
In UIButton subclass -
- (void)setLandscape:(BOOL)value
{
isLandscape = value;
CGFloat navbarPortraitHeight = 44;
CGFloat navbarLandscapeHeight = 32;
CGRect initialFrame = // your initial frame
CGFloat scaleFactor = floorf((navbarLandscapeHeight/navbarPortraitHeight) * 100) / 100;
if (isLandscape) {
self.frame = CGRectApplyAffineTransform(initialFrame, CGAffineTransformMakeScale(scaleFactor, scaleFactor));
} else {
self.frame = initialFrame;
}
}
Then in the InterfaceOrientation delegates I invoked the -setLandscape method on the customViews to change their sizes.
In UIViewController -
- (void)willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration
{
[self updateNavbarButtonsToDeviceOrientation];;
}
- (void)updateNavbarButtonsToDeviceOrientation
{
ResizeButton *rightButton = (ResizeButton *)self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.customView;
ResizeButton *titleView = (ResizeButton *)self.navigationItem.titleView;
if (self.interfaceOrientation == UIDeviceOrientationPortrait || self.interfaceOrientation == UIDeviceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown) {
[rightButton setLandscape:NO];
[titleView setLandscape:NO];
} else {
[rightButton setLandscape:YES];
[titleView setLandscape:YES];
}
}
(Answering my own question)
I got this working by manually keeping track of the titleView's margins (its distance from the edges of the navigtion bar) -- saving when the view disappears, and restoring when the view reappears.
The idea is, we aren't restoring the titleView to the exact size it had previously; rather, we are restoring it so that it has the same margins it had previously. That way, if the phone has rotated, the titleView will have a new, appropriate size.
Here is my code:
In my view controller's .h file:
#interface MyViewController ...
{
CGRect titleSuperviewBounds;
UIEdgeInsets titleViewMargins;
}
In my view controller's .m file:
/**
* Helper function: Given a parent view's bounds and a child view's frame,
* calculate the margins of the child view.
*/
- (UIEdgeInsets) calcMarginsFromParentBounds:(CGRect)parentBounds
childFrame:(CGRect)childFrame {
UIEdgeInsets margins;
margins.left = childFrame.origin.x;
margins.top = childFrame.origin.y;
margins.right = parentBounds.size.width -
(childFrame.origin.x + childFrame.size.width);
margins.bottom = parentBounds.size.height -
(childFrame.origin.y + childFrame.size.height);
return margins;
}
- (void)viewDidUnload {
[super viewDidUnload];
titleSuperviewBounds = CGRectZero;
titleViewMargins = UIEdgeInsetsZero;
}
- (void) viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewWillDisappear:animated];
// Keep track of bounds information, so that if the user changes the
// phone's orientation while we are in a different view, then when we
// return to this view, we can fix the titleView's size.
titleSuperviewBounds = self.navigationItem.titleView.superview.bounds;
CGRect titleViewFrame = self.navigationItem.titleView.frame;
titleViewMargins = [self calcMarginsFromParentBounds:titleSuperviewBounds
childFrame:titleViewFrame];
}
- (void) viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewDidAppear:animated];
// Check for the case where the user went into a different view, then
// changed the phone's orientation, then returned to this view. In that
// case, our titleView probably has the wrong size, and we need to fix it.
if (titleSuperviewBounds.size.width > 0) {
CGRect newSuperviewBounds =
self.navigationItem.titleView.superview.bounds;
if (newSuperviewBounds.size.width > 0 &&
!CGRectEqualToRect(titleSuperviewBounds, newSuperviewBounds))
{
CGRect newFrame = UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(newSuperviewBounds,
titleViewMargins);
newFrame.size.height =
self.navigationItem.titleView.frame.size.height;
newFrame.origin.y = floor((newSuperviewBounds.size.height -
self.navigationItem.titleView.frame.size.height) / 2);
self.navigationItem.titleView.frame = newFrame;
}
}
}
For IOS5 onwards, as this is an old question...This is how I accomplished the same issue with the title text not aligning properly.
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleVerticalPositionAdjustment:2 forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsLandscapePhone];
Tested on ios5/6 sims works fine.
This is what I did:
self.viewTitle.frame = self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame;
self.navigationItem.titleView = self.viewTitle;
The viewTitle is a view created in the xib, it takes the size of the navigationBar and after it has been added the titleView adjust the size to leave room to the back button. Rotations seem to work fine.
I had had same problem, but I seem to get workaround with following code.
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
UIView *urlField = self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem.customView;
CGRect frame = urlField.frame;
frame.size.width = 1000;
urlField.frame = frame;
}
In my case, the custom view is a UITextField, but I hope this will help you.
I'm trying to display transparent UINavigationBar on top of Scrollview.
This is actual result of code that I have written...
where as I'm expecting view to be displayed like below image, which happens after I slightly scroll the image.
Code :
- (void) loadView {
CGRect pagingScrollViewFrame = [self frameForPagingScrollView];
pagingScrollView = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:pagingScrollViewFrame];
pagingScrollView.pagingEnabled = YES;
pagingScrollView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
pagingScrollView.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = NO;
pagingScrollView.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = NO;
pagingScrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(pagingScrollViewFrame.size.width * [self imageCount],
pagingScrollViewFrame.size.height);
pagingScrollView.delegate = self;
self.wantsFullScreenLayout = YES;
pagingScrollView.scrollsToTop = YES;
self.view = pagingScrollView;
}
question is how do I make view to load as I expected without user interacting to it?
any suggestion or help is appreciated..
EDIT: I'm creating view totally from CODE
It seems like you're trying to do this in code not in the IB. If so, you have to put your code in the viewDidLoad of the Application Delegate (e.g. MyProgramAppDeligate class or whatever). If you want it in some certain views, put it in the viewDidLoad of the UINavigationController class/subclass.
Does this satisfy your requirement?
self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = YES;
self.navigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
And to make your statusbar translucent.
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleBlackTranslucent animated:YES];
[self setWantsFullScreenLayout:YES];
I have this inside my willWillAppear and I reset it in my viewWillDisappear.
You have to set
self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = YES;
As soon as you do this, the 0,0 coordinate is behind your navigation bar not below it and your view shifts behind the bar.
It may be a conflict between IB and your code. I would add the line of code suggested by Ortwin in the viewDidLoad method and then double check you've set the navBar to translucent in IB.
The code you have posted has nothing to do with the opacity of the navigation bar. Show where you are setting the configuration of the components of the view. There you could just set the alpha of the navigation bar. Alternatively if you are using nibs, just set the alpha in IB.
Since you say that it works fine after the user (you) slightly scrolls the image, the problem might be that the UINavigationBar's drawRect: method does not get called after the UIScrollView is loaded.
Suggestion: Can you explicitly call setNeedsDisplay on the navigation bar after the view is loaded?
Have you tried setting the frame of the scroll view with an Y origin of 0 after setting the nav bar to transparent?
EDIT: I mean, you don't say what's the frame used in your code.
In viewDidLoad, try moving the origin up 32 pixels and grow the height by 32 pixels as well:
pagingScrollView.frame = CGRectMake(pagingScrollView.frame.origin.x, pagingScrollView.frame.origin.y-32, pagingScrollView.frame.size.width, pagingScrollView.frame.size.height+32);
In viewWillAppear scroll the content to the correct location.
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
UIScrollView *scrollView = (UIScrollView *)self.view;
[scrollView setContentSize:CGSizeMake(320,568)];
[scrollView scrollRectToVisible:CGRectMake(0, 548, 320, 20) animated:NO];
}
I'm trying to do something that shouldn't be that complicated, but I can't figure it out.
I have a UIViewController displaying a UITableView. I want to present a context menu when the user press on a row. I want this to be a semi-transparent view with labels and buttons.
I could use an AlertView, but I want full control on the format of the labels and buttons and will like to use Interface Builder.
So I created my small view 250x290, set the alpha to .75 and create a view controller with the outlets to handle the different user events.
Now I want to present it.
If I use presentModalViewController two (undesired) things happen
1) the view covers all of the screen (but the status bar).
2) It is semi-transparent, but what I see "behind" it its not the parent view but the applications root view.
Ive tried adding it as a subview, but nothing happens, so Im not doing something right:
RestaurantContextVC* modalViewController = [[[RestaurantContextVC alloc] initWithNibName:#"RestaurantContextView" bundle:nil] autorelease];
[self.view addSubview:modalViewController.view];
Is it possible to do what I want?
Thanks in advance.

I'm coding similar thing. My approach include.....
Not using dismissModalViewControllerAnimated and presentModalViewController:animated.
Design a customized full sized view in IB. In its viewDidLoad message body, set the background color to clearColor, so that space on the view not covered by controllers are transparent.
I put a UIImageView under the controllers of the floating view. The UIImageView contains a photoshoped image, which has rounded corners and the background is set to transparent. This image view serves as the container.
I uses CoreAnimation to present/dismiss the floating view in the modal view style: (the FloatingViewController.m)
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[self.view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
[self.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 480, 320, 480)];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.75f];
[self.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
[UIView commitAnimations];
}

Thats pretty much the solution I found.
I load the view with loadNibNamed and then just add it on top with addSubView, like this:
//Show a view on top of current view with a wait indicator. This prevents all user interactions.
-(void) showWaitView{
NSArray* nibViews = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"WaitView" owner:self options:nil];
#ifdef __IPHONE_2_1
waitView = [ nibViews objectAtIndex: 0];
#else
waitView = [ nibViews objectAtIndex: 1];
#endif
CGFloat x = self.view.center.x - (waitView.frame.size.width / 2);
CGFloat y = self.view.center.y - (waitView.frame.size.height / 2);
[waitView setFrame:CGRectMake(x,y,waitView.bounds.size.width,waitView.bounds.size.height)];
[self.view addSubview:waitView];
}
Could you elaborate on points 3 and 4?
What I did to give the view the round rect aspect is put it inside a round rect button.
This code will actually allow you to have a small floating view, but if the view is smaller that its parent, the user could interact with the visible part of the parent.
In the end I create my view with the same size, but kept the code just in case.

I would strongly consider using a navigation controller to slide in your subview instead of overlaying it. This is the expected model and any small benefit you may think you'll get by doing it your own way will be greatly offset by the principle of (least) surprise.
If you really really have to do it this way, I believe the trick is to add the first table view as a subview of a transparent "holding" view that the view controller maintains. Then add your new sub view as another subview of that.
Again, if you really want to do this, instead of adding a transparent "holding" view, since this pop-up is essentially modal, I would make it a subview directly of the window.
You might want to put in a transparent black shield behind it to prevent touches on the background and focus input on the popup.
But seriously, consider either popping a controller on the stack or using that alert view. Unless you've hired a $$ designer, it's probably not going to look appropriate on the iPhone.
What I did was create a UIViewController on top of my UINavigation controller in my app delegate and made it a property of a singleton object for convenience:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
//--- create root navigation controller
self.window.rootViewController = self.navigationController;
//--- create view controller for popups:
popupViewController = [[BaseViewController alloc] init];
popupViewController.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
popupViewController.view.hidden = true; //for rendering optimisation
[self.window addSubview:popupViewController.view];
[AppState sharedInstance].popupViewController = self.popupViewController;
//--- make all visible:
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
At any point in my app, I can then call e.g.
MyViewController * myVC = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
//... set up viewcontroller and its view...
// add the view of the created view controller to the popup view:
[AppState sharedInstance].popupViewController.view.hidden = false;
[[AppState sharedInstance].popupViewController.view addSubview:myVC.view];
The BaseViewController used on the top just inherits from UIViewController and sets up a full-screen view:
//----- in BaseViewController implementation
- (void)loadView {
//------- create root view:
CGRect frame = [[AppState sharedInstance] getScreenFrame];
rootView = [[VCView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
rootView.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
self.view = rootView;
}
