UIPopoverController Rect Presentation From UIButton

[tobyaherbert]

Hello There!

I am trying to present a UIPopoverController using presentPopoverFromRect: but when i present the popover using the button's coordinates the popover appears somewhere obscure like the top left or bottom right corner of the screen. Any Ideas?

Here is my code:

- (IBAction)getPhoto:(id)sender {
    if ([imagePickerPopover isPopoverVisible]) {
        [imagePickerPopover dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
        //[imagePickerPopover release];
    } else {
        UIImagePickerController *imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
        imagePickerPopover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:imagePicker];
        imagePicker.delegate = self;
        imagePicker.allowsEditing = YES;
        if((UIButton *) sender == choosePhoto) {
            imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
            CGRect choosePhotoRect;
            if (self.interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait || self.interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown) {
                choosePhotoRect.origin = [sender frame].origin;
                choosePhotoRect.size.width = 1;
                choosePhotoRect.size.height = 1;
                [imagePickerPopover presentPopoverFromRect:choosePhotoRect inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionDown animated:YES];
            } else if (self.interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || self.interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight) {
                choosePhotoRect.origin = [sender frame].origin;
                choosePhotoRect.size.width = 1;
                choosePhotoRect.size.height = 1;
                [imagePickerPopover presentPopoverFromRect:choosePhotoRect inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionDown animated:YES];
            }
        } else {
            CGRect takePhotoRect;
            imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
            if (self.interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait || self.interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown) {
                takePhotoRect.origin = [sender frame].origin;
                takePhotoRect.size.width = 1;
                takePhotoRect.size.height = 1;
                [imagePickerPopover presentPopoverFromRect:takePhotoRect inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionDown animated:YES];
            } else if (self.interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || self.interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight) {
                takePhotoRect.origin = [sender frame].origin;
                takePhotoRect.size.width = 1;
                takePhotoRect.size.height = 1;
                [imagePickerPopover presentPopoverFromRect:takePhotoRect inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionDown animated:YES];
            }
        }
    }
}

Your rect values are wrong if that is the case. Are you just trying to present from the button itself or are you presenting from elsewhere?

Just trying to present from the uibutton itself. I have sorted it now though. The issue was that the uibutton is in a view inside the main view and i was presenting the popover from the main view so it confised it.

Thanks for your help.

Handy technique:

UIButton *button = (UIButton *)sender;

...FromRect:[button bounds] inView:button ...
