Show a UIPopoverController from a detail disclosure button in a UITableViewCell?

To do what you want, you need an accessoryView and setting the accessoryType does not create one. However, it will work if you create a button and set it as the cell.accessoryView.

I am creating an application for the iPad, and I want to show an UIPopoverController with an arrow pointing to the detail disclosure button for the row it belongs to. I want to do this in the tableView:accessoryButtonTappedForRowWithIndexPath: method. Currently I have this, with a dummy CGRect: - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView accessoryButtonTappedForRowWithIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { // Dismiss in the case it shows itself somewhere else addFeedPopup dismissPopoverAnimated:YES; // Set up TNSubscribeToFeedController *subscribeToFeedController = TNSubscribeToFeedController alloc initWithNibName:@"SubscribeToFeed" bundle:nil; UINavigationController *subscribeToFeedNavigationController = UINavigationController alloc initWithRootViewController:subscribeToFeedController; subscribeToFeedController.

Title = @"Subscribe to feed"; subscribeToFeedController.navigationItem. LeftBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem alloc initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemCancel target:self action:nil; subscribeToFeedController.navigationItem. RightBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem alloc initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemDone target:self action:nil; /* * Note that we use the UINavigationController pure for the nices UINavigationBar.

*/ // Show in popup addFeedPopup = UIPopoverController alloc initWithContentViewController:subscribeToFeedNavigationController; addFeedPopup. PopoverContentSize = CGSizeMake(480, 320); addFeedPopup presentPopoverFromRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, 20, 20) inView:self. View permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionLeft animated:YES; // Memory subscribeToFeedNavigationController release; subscribeToFeedController release; } Also, when the UITableView is in editing mode, the detail disclosure button is about 60 pixels to the left, since I use this to set up my rows: if (cell == nil) { cell = UITableViewCell alloc initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:@"SectionTwoCell" autorelease; } cell.textLabel.

Text = NSString stringWithFormat:@"Feed %d", indexPath. Row; cell.detailTextLabel. Text = @"Description"; cell.

AccessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDetailDisclosureButton; cell. EditingAccessoryType = cell. AccessoryType; //^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^// // TWO LINES BACK DEAR SO USER // Can anyone help me with this problem?

Thanks. Oh, and is it also possible to disable scrolling and disable selecting anything until the UIPopoverController is closed (perfectionism)?

To do what you want, you need an accessoryView and setting the accessoryType does not create one. However, it will work if you create a button and set it as the cell.accessoryView. Create and set the accessoryView when the cell is created: ... UIButton *disclosureButton = UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure; disclosureButton addTarget:self action:@selector(discloseDetails:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside; cell.

AccessoryView = disclosureButton; ... Replace tableView:accessoryButtonTappedForRowWithIndexPath: with discloseDetails:. This looks much like what you have before so I've only put the changes below: - (void) discloseDetails:(UIButton *)sender { ... UITableViewCell *cell = (UITableViewCell *) sender. Superview; NSIndexPath *indexPath = self.

TableView indexPathForCell:cell; // if needed addFeedPopup presentPopoverFromRect:cell.accessoryView. Bounds inView:cell. AccessoryView permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionLeft animated:YES; ... } If you don't need the cell, it can be made even simpler: - (void) discloseDetails:(UIButton *)sender { ... addFeedPopup presentPopoverFromRect:sender.

Bounds inView:sender permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionLeft animated:YES; ... } Here's what it looks like.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
