iOS – Displaying a Popover on an iPhone

You can find the source code for this project on GitHub.

As UIPopoverController is deprecated since iOS 9 and I couldn’t find a great example on how to create a popover on an iPhone with iOS 9 I’ve created a small project that demonstrates how to create one.

Here are the important lines of code

- (IBAction)openPopup:(id)sender {
	// popoverViewController is a instance variable of type UIViewController
	if(popoverViewController == nil) {
		popoverViewController = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"popover"];
		
	}
	popoverViewController.preferredContentSize = CGSizeMake(320, 100);
	popoverViewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationPopover;
	UIPopoverPresentationController *popoverController = popoverViewController.popoverPresentationController;
	popoverController.permittedArrowDirections = UIPopoverArrowDirectionDown | UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp;
	popoverController.delegate = self;
	popoverController.sourceView = self.view;
	popoverController.sourceRect = [sender frame];
	
	[self presentViewController:popoverViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
}

-(UIModalPresentationStyle)adaptivePresentationStyleForPresentationController:(UIPresentationController *)controller {
	return UIModalPresentationNone;
}

  1. maybe you can explain, how to put view controller hose is designed to be displayed modally on iPhone? It is recommended to use UIPresentationPopoverController for
    presenting this view controller.
