Installation

---

iOS SDK 7.0 (with Xcode 5) is required.

Cocoapods

Add this line pod 'WYPopoverController', '~> 0.1.4' to your PodFile.

Your PodFile should look like :

platform :ios, '6.0'
pod 'WYPopoverController', '~> 0.1.4'

To use the master branch of the repo :

platform :ios, '6.0'
pod 'WYPopoverController', :git => 'https://github.com/nicolaschengdev/WYPopoverController.git'

Manually

Add these files to your project :

• WYPopoverController.h and WYPopoverController.m
• WYStoryboardPopoverSegue.h and WYStoryboardPopoverSegue.m

And link QuartzCore.framework library in the Build Phases of your project targets.

Examples

---

Simple

In the implementation of your view controller

// YourViewController.m

@interface YourViewController () <WYPopoverControllerDelegate>
{
    WYPopoverController* popoverController;
}

- (IBAction)showPopover:(id)sender;

@end

@implementation YourViewController

- (IBAction)showPopover:(id)sender
{
	popoverController = [[WYPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:controller];
    popoverController.delegate = self;
    [popoverController presentPopoverFromRect:button.bounds inView:button permittedArrowDirections:WYPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
}

- (BOOL)popoverControllerShouldDismiss:(WYPopoverController *)controller
{
    return YES;
}

- (void)popoverControllerDidDismiss:(WYPopoverController *)controller
{
    popoverController.delegate = nil;
    popoverController = nil;
}

@end

Appearance (Tint Color)

WYPopoverBackgroundView* appearance = [WYPopoverBackgroundView appearance];
[appearance setTintColor:[UIColor orangeColor]];

Appearance (Flat Popover)

UIColor* greenColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:26.f/255.f green:188.f/255.f blue:156.f/255.f alpha:1];

WYPopoverBackgroundView* popoverAppearance = [WYPopoverBackgroundView appearance];
        
[popoverAppearance setOuterCornerRadius:4];
[popoverAppearance setOuterShadowBlurRadius:0];
[popoverAppearance setOuterShadowColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[popoverAppearance setOuterShadowOffset:CGSizeMake(0, 0)];
        
[popoverAppearance setGlossShadowColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[popoverAppearance setGlossShadowOffset:CGSizeMake(0, 0)];
        
[popoverAppearance setBorderWidth:8];
[popoverAppearance setArrowHeight:10];
[popoverAppearance setArrowBase:20];
        
[popoverAppearance setInnerCornerRadius:4];
[popoverAppearance setInnerShadowBlurRadius:0];
[popoverAppearance setInnerShadowColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[popoverAppearance setInnerShadowOffset:CGSizeMake(0, 0)];
        
[popoverAppearance setFillTopColor:greenColor];
[popoverAppearance setFillBottomColor:greenColor];
[popoverAppearance setOuterStrokeColor:greenColor];
[popoverAppearance setInnerStrokeColor:greenColor];
        
UINavigationBar* navBarInPopoverAppearance = [UINavigationBar appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UINavigationController class], [WYPopoverController class], nil];
[navBarInPopoverAppearance setTitleTextAttributes: @{
                  UITextAttributeTextColor : [UIColor whiteColor],
            UITextAttributeTextShadowColor : [UIColor clearColor],
           UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset : [NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(0, -1)]}];

Storyboard

- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
	if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:@"[YOUR_SEGUE_IDENTIFIER]"])
	{
		WYStoryboardPopoverSegue* popoverSegue = (WYStoryboardPopoverSegue*)segue;

		UIViewController* destinationViewController = (UIViewController *)segue.destinationViewController;
        destinationViewController.contentSizeForViewInPopover = CGSizeMake(280, 280);		// Deprecated in iOS7. Use 'preferredContentSize' instead.

        popoverController = [popoverSegue popoverControllerWithSender:sender permittedArrowDirections:WYPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
        popoverController.delegate = self;
	}
}

Handling popover controllers during orientation changes

---

When showing a popover controller, there are times when you will need to handle how the popover controller appears after a change in device orientation.

Situations when handling is required:

• If the popover controller is presented from a target rectangle using the -presentPopoverFromRect:inView:permittedArrowDirections:animated method of WYPopoverController.
• If the popover controller is presented from a bar button item that is removed after the rotation has finished.

Change logs

A brief summary of each WYPopoverController release can be found on the wiki.
