Question

I have a UIView subclass which is displayed once i click navigation bar button. I’m trying to imitate a UIPopover kind of view in iphone.
The thing i’m stuck with is that i have to remove the subview when touched outside the box.

Any suggestions?

You can have an invisible layer over all the layers to check for the touches whenever your subview appears, and you can manually check if the coordinate is in the subview then just manually remove it from your main view.

You can see an example here to dismiss the keyboard instead of removing a view:
