Identify which UIPopover controller has been dismissed

Question

I have several UIPopovers in my app that contain UITableViews. All send the message popoverControllerDidDismissPopover: when they are dismissed. When a particular popover is dismissed, I want to take all of the user's selections and move them to a UITextView.

I can't do this unless I know which popover is being dismissed. Any ideas how I can accomplish this?

    UIViewController* popoverContent = [[UIViewController alloc] init];

    UIView *popoverView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 416)];  //  was 216
    popoverView.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
    popoverContent.contentSizeForViewInPopover = CGSizeMake(300.0, 416.0);

    //  define UITableView
    tvServices = [[UITableView alloc] init];
    tvServices.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 416);
    tvServices.tag = 1201;

    tvServices.delegate = self;
    tvServices.dataSource = self;

    //  add it to the popover
    [popoverView addSubview:tvServices];
    popoverContent.view = popoverView;
    popoverController = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:popoverContent];
    popoverController.delegate = (id)self;
    [popoverController setPopoverContentSize:CGSizeMake(300, 416) animated:NO];

    //  show it next to services textbox
    [popoverController presentPopoverFromRect:soServices.frame inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionRight animated:YES];
}

Answer 1

The popoverControllerDidDismissPopover: delegate method tells you which popover is being dismissed. From there you can look at the popover's contentViewController as needed.

- (void)popoverControllerDidDismissPopover:(UIPopoverController *)popoverController {
    UITableViewController *controller = (UITableViewController *)popoverController.contentViewController;

    UITableView *tableView = controller.tableView;
}

This should point you in the right directory. But you shouldn't need access to the table view. You be accessing the data from the view controller, not the table view.
