Pop up UIPickerView on button click (Swift)

How do I pop up a UIPickerView (which is not on the screen) with a button click? I can't find any sources online which do this.

Solution

  • Follow these steps...

    1. create a UIView in a view controller in the main.storyboard file and add a UIPicker view inside it.

    2. connect the view and the picker view to the viewController.swift with a IBOutlet

    3. in the ViewDidLoad method, hide the the uiview we created.

    4. when the button is clicked, unhide the uiview you created, and get the user input.
