I am trying to create a rightBarButtonItem that appears throughout my app. When this barItem is clicked I want to show a modal popup using UIPopoverPresentationController. I have been able to get the button to show up on the barItem on all the views. However when i click on the button the xib takes over the entire view (including nav bar, see image below). Please see the class below:
class MyAppsNavigationController: UINavigationController, UINavigationControllerDelegate, UIPopoverPresentationControllerDelegate {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.delegate = self
self.navigationBar.barTintColor = Colors.Red01.color()
self.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName : UIColor.white]
}
func navigationController(_ navigationController: UINavigationController, willShow viewController: UIViewController, animated: Bool) {
viewController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(image: #imageLiteral(resourceName: "Ellipsis"), style: .plain, target: self, action: #selector(displayMenu(sender:)))
}
func displayMenu(sender: UIBarButtonItem)
{
let filterVC = DropdownMenuController(nibName: "DropdownMenuController", bundle: nil)
let nav = UINavigationController(rootViewController: filterVC)
nav.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.popover
//nav.isNavigationBarHidden = true
nav.preferredContentSize = CGSize(width: 200, height: 300)
let popover = nav.popoverPresentationController! as UIPopoverPresentationController
popover.permittedArrowDirections = .up
popover.delegate = self
popover.barButtonItem = self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem
popover.sourceView = self.view;
var frame:CGRect = (sender.value(forKey: "view")! as AnyObject).frame
frame.origin.y = frame.origin.y+20
popover.sourceRect = frame
popover.delegate = self
self.present(nav, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func adaptivePresentationStyleForPresentationController(controller: UIPresentationController) -> UIModalPresentationStyle {
return .none
}
}
Result when clicked on the button:
When clicked the popup takes over entire view:
Any chance you're not using the right delegate method? I think this looks better:
func adaptivePresentationStyle(for controller: UIPresentationController) -> UIModalPresentationStyle {
return .none
}
Also, in this case sourceView and sourceRect is not needed: specifying a barButtonItem for the popover presentation controller is sufficient. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uipopoverpresentationcontroller/1622314-barbuttonitem
