Question

I have a function I’d previously written to present a popover from a bar button item, now I’m trying to reuse it to show the popover from a cell accessory when the table is in edit mode.

I’ve tried

[self showPopover:[[theTableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath] editingAccessoryView]]

but this is NULL.

Originally it’s set with [cell setEditingAccessoryType: UITableViewCellAccessoryDetailDisclosureButton]; if that makes any difference.

And the popover function is

-(void) showPopover:(id)sender {
    ...
     [self.popOver presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:sender 
                             permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
}

Any ideas please.

Answer 1

How about trying to display with:

- (void)presentPopoverFromRect:(CGRect)rect inView:(UIView *)view permittedArrowDirections:(UIPopoverArrowDirection)arrowDirections animated:(BOOL)animated

Just pass it your cell.accessoryView.frame as the “rect” argument.
