UIPopover without any arrows

Question

Is it possible to present a popover without any sort of arrows pointing somewhere?

Answer 1

Swift3, this code work for me

popover.permittedArrowDirections = .init(rawValue: 0)

Answer 2

Try this , it works for me.

[self.popoverViewController presentPopoverFromRect:rect inView:self.view  permittedArrowDirections:0 animated:YES];

Answer 3

I use popover to show menu depending on touch coordinate. In this case popover uses maximum height of self.view

CGRect popeverFrame = CGRectMake(touchPoint.x, touchPoint.y, 0, 0);
[self.popover presentPopoverFromRect:popeverFrame
                              inView:self.view
            permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny
                            animated:YES];

But when I use 0-direction. Popover rectangle doesn't set it height to maximum and can only be set by appropriate property.

CGRect popeverFrame = CGRectMake(touchPoint.x, touchPoint.y, 0, 0);
[self.popover presentPopoverFromRect:popeverFrame
                              inView:self.view
            permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny
                            animated:YES];

Answer 4

To make a pop over direction none and make it to appear in center of the view controller :

let PopSrnVar = popoverPresentationController
let ConRctVar = view.frame
PopSrnVar!.sourceRect = CGRectMake(ConRctVar.width/4, ConRctVar.height/4, ConRctVar.width/2, ConRctVar.height/2)
// To make arrows as none
PopSrnVar!.permittedArrowDirections = UIPopoverArrowDirection()

Answer 5

For Swift 2.0 and iOS9 the solution is:

popoverViewController?.permittedArrowDirections = UIPopoverArrowDirection()

Answer 6

In Swift, you can simply do:

popoverPresentationController.permittedArrowDirections = []

Since in another configuration you could have used:

popoverPresentationController.permittedArrowDirections = [.up, .down]
