ios - UIPopover How do I make a popover with buttons like this?

Question

I'm wondering how I can create a popover with buttons like this.

ANSWER:

UIActionSheet * actionSheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle: nil 
                                                          delegate: self
                                                 cancelButtonTitle: nil 
                                            destructiveButtonTitle: nil 
                                                 otherButtonTitles: @"Take Photo",
                                                                    @"Choose Existing Photo", nil];

[actionSheet showFromRect: button.frame inView: button.superview animated: YES];

Somewhere else in your delegated object class...

-(void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
    if (buttonIndex == 0) {
         // take photo...
    } 
    else if (buttonIndex == 1) {
         // choose existing photo...
    }
}

This is a UIActionSheet. On the iPhone, it animates in from the bottom. On the iPad it appears in a popover.

Assuming you're doing this on the press of a button:

UIActionSheet * actionSheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle: nil 
                                                          delegate: self
                                                 cancelButtonTitle: nil 
                                            destructiveButtonTitle: nil 
                                                 otherButtonTitles: @"Take Photo",
                                                                    @"Choose Existing Photo", nil];

[actionSheet showFromRect: button.frame inView: button.superview animated: YES];

In iOS8+, you should use the new UIAlertController class:

UIAlertController * alertController = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle: nil
                                                                          message: nil
                                                                   preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyleActionSheet];
[alertController addAction: [UIAlertAction actionWithTitle: @"Take Photo" style: UIAlertActionStyleDefault handler:^(UIAlertAction *action) {
    // Handle Take Photo here
}]];
[alertController addAction: [UIAlertAction actionWithTitle: @"Choose Existing Photo" style: UIAlertActionStyleDefault handler:^(UIAlertAction *action) {
    // Handle Choose Existing Photo here
}]];

alertController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationPopover;

UIPopoverPresentationController * popover = alertController.popoverPresentationController;
popover.permittedArrowDirections = UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp;
popover.sourceView = sender;
popover.sourceRect = sender.bounds;

[self presentViewController: alertController animated: YES completion: nil];

or in Swift

let alertController = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: nil, preferredStyle: .ActionSheet)
alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Take Photo", style: .Default, handler: { alertAction in
    // Handle Take Photo here
    }))
alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Choose Existing Photo", style: .Default, handler: { alertAction in
    // Handle Choose Existing Photo
    }))
alertController.modalPresentationStyle = .Popover

let popover = alertController.popoverPresentationController!
popover.permittedArrowDirections = .Up
popover.sourceView = sender
popover.sourceRect = sender.bounds

presentViewController(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
