Dismissing iPad UIPopoverController when BarButtonItem is pushed while it's open

问题

Using a split view on the iPad, I have the following code:

- (void) splitViewController:(UISplitViewController *)svc willHideViewController:(UIViewController *)aViewController withBarButtonItem:(UIBarButtonItem *)barButtonItem forPopoverController:(UIPopoverController *)pc {
  barButtonItem.title = @"Categories";
  NSMutableArray *items = [[toolbar items] mutableCopy];
  [items insertObject:barButtonItem atIndex:0];
  [toolbar setItems:items animated:YES];
  [items release];
  self.popoverController = pc;
}

This works well to show the popover when the button is pressed. However, I'd also like to have the popover dismiss if the button is pressed while it is already open to follow good guidelines. How would I go about doing this? (i.e. if the user repeatedly clicks this button, the popover should come and hide every other hit.)

回答1:

When splitViewController display popover, below method will be called. Just check if not nil, then dismiss it :)

- (void)splitViewController:(UISplitViewController*)svc popoverController:(UIPopoverController*)pc willPresentViewController:(UIViewController *)aViewController{
  if ([pc isPopoverVisible]) {
     [pc dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
  }
}

Apple's HIG says there should not be an explicit dismiss button inside a popover, but to do what you're asking, you have two options.

1) post an NSNotification

OR

2) drill down into your view hierarchy until you have the popover instance

1) in whichever view you are presenting the popover in, in the viewDidLoad method:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(dismissThePopover) name:@"popoverShouldDismiss" object:nil];

create a method called "dismissThePopover" and in the dealloc method, removeObserver

-(void)dismissThePopover {
    [self.popoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
}

-(void)dealloc {
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self];
}

In your popoverController "dismiss" button, enter this line:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:@"popoverShouldDismiss" object:nil];

Doing that sends a notification to the app, and since you've registered your other view controller to listen for it, whenever it sees that notification it calls the selector you specify, in this case, dismissThePopover.

2) drill down into your view hierarchy to find self.popoverController

check this out, yours will be different, surely, but the overall idea is the same. Start at your AppDelegate, move into the first viewcontroller, move into subviews until you get to your self.popoverController object.

MyAppDelegate *appDelegate = [[UIApplication sharedApplication]delegate];
//appDelegate instance, in this case it's the .m file for your ApplicationDelegate

UISplitViewController *svc = appDelegate.splitViewController;
//In this case the first view inside the appDelegate is a SplitView, svc

UINavigationController *navc = [[svc viewControllers]objectAtIndex:0];
//a navigationController is at index:0 in the SplitView hierarchy. DetailView is at index:1

NSArray *vcs = [navc viewControllers];
//vcs is the array of different viewcontrollers inside the Navigation stack for nvc

iPadRootViewController *rootView = [vcs objectAtIndex:0];
//declare the rootView, which is the .m file that is at index:0 of the view array

UIPopoverController *pc = [rootView popoverController];
//HERE WE GO!!! popoverController is a property of iPadRootViewController's instance rootView, hereby referred to as pc.

[pc dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
//bye bye, popoverController!

Hope this helps

This is a lot easier because the popoverController is a property. Makes it easier to reference.

if ([self.popoverController isPopoverVisible]) {
    //using the setters and getters "goes thru the proper channels" when accessing objects
    [self.popoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
} else {
    UIPopoverController *pc = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:YOUR_VIEW_CONTROLLER];
    self.popoverController = pc;
    [pc release];

    //get the button instance you set on the toolbar
    UIBarButtonItem *categoryButton = [[toolbar items] objectAtIndex:0];
    [self.popoverController presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:categoryButton permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
}

I actually just realized that you're referring to the code inside the Delegate method for displaying the viewController at index:0 of your splitView. This answer doesn't necessarily apply to that, but does apply to any other time you're accessing and creating popoverControllers on the iPad. Without checking if a popover is visible first, you will either crash, or open several popovers.

Thanks for your time.

You could try the below

if(![popoverController isPopoverVisible]){
   // Show popover
}
else{
   // close popover
   [popoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
}

If you are using the default UISplitViewController setup, then the navigation bar button that is created displays a popover of your RootViewController.

If you want to make sure you don't have multiple pop-ups on at once, you can simply dismiss pop-ups whenever your RootViewController will appear. Here's code I used to solve this problem:

- (void) viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
  if ([self.popover isPopOverVisible]) {
    [self.popover dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
  }
  [super viewWillAppear:YES];
}

回答6:

The code I used to show the popover in RootViewController.m:

- (IBAction) addCategory:(id)sender {
  AddCategoryViewController *content = [[AddCategoryViewController alloc] init];
  UIPopoverController *aPopover = [[UIPopoverController alloc]
                                   initWithContentViewController:content];

  aPopover.delegate = self;

  // Store the popover in a custom property for later use.
  self.addCategoryPopover = aPopover;
  addCategoryPopover.delegate = self;
  [aPopover release];
  [content release];

  [addCategoryPopover presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:sender permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp animated:YES];
}

This I used to try and dismiss it from another class:

-(IBAction)saveAddCategory:(id)sender {
  rootViewController = [[RootViewController alloc] init];
  [rootViewController dismissPopover];
}

My dismissPopover function looks like:

- (void) dismissPopover {
  if ([self.addCategoryPopover isPopoverVisible]) {
    [self.addCategoryPopover dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
  }
  if (addCategoryPopover.popoverVisible == YES) {
    [addCategoryPopover dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
  }
}

Yes, you can set the modalPresentationStyle as following:

controller.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;
