In my current project, targeted for iOS 5.0 and up, I want to show a view with some buttons that let the user choose a layout for what is currently being drawn on the screen.
On iPhone & iPod Touch I let the choice view controller take over the entire screen by calling:
[self presentViewController:choiceController animated:YES completion:nil];
On iPad I show the same view controller's views in a popover by calling this:
[self setChooseLayoutPopover:[[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:choiceController]];
[[self chooseLayoutPopover] setDelegate:self];
[[self chooseLayoutPopover] setPopoverContentSize:CGSizeMake(320.0, 460.0)];
[[self chooseLayoutPopover] presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:sender permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
In both cases I pass two dismiss blocks to the choice view controller, one for when a layout is actually chosen, and one for when the user cancels the operation. On iPad touching outside the bounds of the popover does indeed cancel it, on iPhone & iPod Touch I show a Cancel-button that also works.
On iPhone & iPod Touch my dismiss block for making a choice works by calling:
[[self presentingViewController] dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:[self dismissBlockDone]];
but on iPad presentingViewController is always nil, and even if I pass a pointer to my presenting view controller myself using the above call does nothing on iPad.
I did implement -(void)popoverControllerDidDismissPopover:(UIPopoverController *)popoverController and set the presenting view controller as the delegate for the popover, and this method does get called when the user touches outside the popover, but I can not find what to call after the user actually touched a choice button. I can set the chosen value but I don't know how to get out of the popover afterwards.
Any suggestions?
