Toolbar in actionsheet, dismiss actionsheet with button in toolbar. Possible?

[Csprocket777]

Ok. I want a pickerview appearing overtop a table when a user edits a text field in the table. I'm using an actionsheet to do this. It's working perfectly so far.

But I have no way to dismiss the actionsheet once it appears. It was surprisingly easy to put a toolbar at the top of the actionsheet and a "Done" button on that. How do I use the done button to dismiss the actionsheet and pass the values back to the field that brought it up?

Have you tried something like this:

When you add a button to the toolbar, add a target with selector to run a custom method. When the user clicks the button, that method will execute. inside that method, call the dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:animated: method of the UIActionSheet

Now the actionsheet must have the delegate set to self, so when you call it, it should dismiss the sctionsheet and fire the event, so you need to nadle the dismissWithClickedButtonIndex event too if you want to do anything else once the suer clicks the button. I think it should dismiss the action sheet automatically, if I am thinking correctly, and I'd like to think that I am, in which case it would mean that I am finally getting a hang of this...

Incase anyone is looking for how I did this (I've seen many posts asking about this), here's the code.

First off, I'm doing this in a TableViewController:

In my H file:

@interface AddItemView : UITableViewController <UITextFieldDelegate, UIPickerViewDelegate, UIPickerViewDataSource, UIActionSheetDelegate>{
	UIPickerView *pickerView;
	UIToolbar *pickerToolbar;
	UIActionSheet *pickerViewPopup;
}

- (void) showPicker;

In my M file:

This triggers the actionsheet to appear when the user enters the specified UITextField:

-(void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
	if(textField == newItem.quantityF)
	{
		[textField resignFirstResponder];
		[self showPicker];
		[pickerView selectRow:1 inComponent:3 animated:YES];
	}
}

This shows and hides the actionsheet containing the pickerView:

- (void) showPicker {
	pickerViewPopup = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:@"How many?"
													  delegate:self
											 cancelButtonTitle:nil
										destructiveButtonTitle:nil
											 otherButtonTitles:nil];
	
	// Add the picker
	pickerView = [[UIPickerView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,44,0,0)];
	
	pickerView.delegate = self;
	pickerView.showsSelectionIndicator = YES;    // note this is default to NO
	
	pickerToolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 44)];
	pickerToolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackOpaque;
	[pickerToolbar sizeToFit];
	
	NSMutableArray *barItems = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
	
	UIBarButtonItem *flexSpace = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:self action:nil];
	[barItems addObject:flexSpace];
	
	UIBarButtonItem *doneBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemDone target:self action:@selector(closePicker:)];
	[barItems addObject:doneBtn];

	[pickerToolbar setItems:barItems animated:YES];
	
	[pickerViewPopup addSubview:pickerToolbar];
	[pickerViewPopup addSubview:pickerView];
	[pickerViewPopup showInView:self.view];
	[pickerViewPopup setBounds:CGRectMake(0,0,320, 464)];
	
}


- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
}

-(BOOL)closePicker:(id)sender
{
	[pickerViewPopup dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:0 animated:YES];
	[pickerView release];
	[pickerToolbar release];
	[pickerViewPopup release];
	return YES;
}

Here's the pickerView setup: (In the M file)

- (NSString *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView titleForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component{
	NSArray *rowTitles = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"0", @"1", @"2", @"3", @"4", @"5", @"6", @"7", @"8", @"9", nil];
	return [rowTitles objectAtIndex:row];
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfComponentsInPickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView{
	return 4;
}
- (NSInteger)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView numberOfRowsInComponent:(NSInteger)component{
	return 10;
}


-(void)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)aPickerView didSelectRow:(NSInteger)row inComponent:(NSInteger)component
{	
}
