UIPopover without any arrows

Question

Is it possible to imagine a popover without any arrows pointing somewhere?

Answer 1

Yes, you can simply do:

[self.popoverController presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:anItem permittedArrowDirections:0 animated:YES]; 

Zero does not indicate direction.

Answer 2

For iPhone and Quick 2.0, try this

Code to run popover

 initiatePopover(){ let popoverContent = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("XYZController") as! XYZController let nav = UINavigationController(rootViewController: popoverContent) nav.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.Popover let popover = nav.popoverPresentationController popoverContent.preferredContentSize = CGSizeMake(250 ,200) popover!.delegate = self popover!.sourceView = self.view popover!.sourceRect = CGRectMake(200,200,0,0) popover!.permittedArrowDirections = UIPopoverArrowDirection(rawValue: 0) self.presentViewController(nav, animated: true, completion: nil) } 

And add this to your ViewController

 func adaptivePresentationStyleForPresentationController(controller: UIPresentationController) -> UIModalPresentationStyle { return UIModalPresentationStyle.None } 

Answer 3

Set permittedArrowDirections to 0.

 permittedArrowDirections:0 

The code -

 [self.popoverController presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:anItem permittedArrowDirections:0 animated:YES]; 

Zero indicates "NoDirection".

Answer 4

Try it, it works for me.

 [self.popoverViewController presentPopoverFromRect:rect inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:0 animated:YES]; 

Answer 5

For Swift 2.0 and iOS9 solution:

 popoverViewController?.permittedArrowDirections = UIPopoverArrowDirection() 

Answer 6

Swift3 , this code works for me

 popover.permittedArrowDirections = .init(rawValue: 0) 

Answer 7

This works great for me.

 [popoverController presentPopoverFromRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, 20, 20) inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:NULL animated:YES]; 

Enjoy the coding.

Answer 8

No, there is no UIPopoverArrowDirectionNone option, and UIPopoverArrowDirectionUnknown throws an exception, which I think if you try to use it to represent.

Instead of a popover controller, you can call presentModalViewController:animated: and set the controller you represent for the modal presentation style to UIModalPresentationFormSheet or, possibly, UIModalPresentationPageSheet . These are more traditional pop-ups than popovers.

Answer 9

Try this one

 [popOverController presentPopoverFromRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, 30, 40) inView:popOverContentView permittedArrowDirections:0 animated:NO]; 

Answer 10

I use popover to display the menu depending on the coordinate of the touch. In this case, popover uses the maximum height of self.view

 CGRect popeverFrame = CGRectMake(touchPoint.x, touchPoint.y, 0, 0); [self.popover presentPopoverFromRect:popeverFrame inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES]; 

But when I use 0-direction. The Popover rectangle does not set the maximum height and can only be set with the corresponding property.

 CGRect popeverFrame = CGRectMake(touchPoint.x, touchPoint.y, 0, 0); [self.popover presentPopoverFromRect:popeverFrame inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES]; 

Hope this helps: UIPopOverController size help

Answer 11

Do not use Popovers if you do not want to show arrows. Present your presentation controller as Modal and use the UIModalPresentationFormSheet instead.

Example:

 UIStoryboard *sb = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MyStoryBoard" bundle:nil]; UIViewController* viewController = [sb instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"myViewController"]; viewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet; [presenterViewController presentViewController: viewController animated:YES completion:^{ }]; 

Answer 12

In my case, for quick developers

 popoverController.sourceView = self.view popoverController.sourceRect = self.view.bounds popoverController.backgroundColor = UIColor.brownColor() popoverController.permittedArrowDirections = UIPopoverArrowDirection.init(rawValue: 0) popoverController.sourceRect = CGRectMake(width/4, hieght/4, width/2, hieght/2); 

Answer 13

In quick version 3, you can build the UIPopoverArrowDirection extension for this:

 extension UIPopoverArrowDirection { public static var noArrow: UIPopoverArrowDirection { return UIPopoverArrowDirection(rawValue: 0) } } 

and you can do:

 popoverPresentationController!.permittedArrowDirections = .noArrow 

Answer 14

To create a kiss direction of none and make it appear in the center of the view controller:

 let PopSrnVar = popoverPresentationController let ConRctVar = view.frame PopSrnVar!.sourceRect = CGRectMake(ConRctVar.width/4, ConRctVar.height/4, ConRctVar.width/2, ConRctVar.height/2) // To make arrows as none PopSrnVar!.permittedArrowDirections = UIPopoverArrowDirection() 

Answer 15

Simple solution in SWIFT:

 popover!.permittedArrowDirections = nil
