Question

I m using a menu bar like this (using UIBUTTONS on an ImageView)

Now what I required to do is that when I click on each button a popover (subview) should come up like:

How can I do that?

My second question is that when i click on the same button or anywhere else on the view then the popover should get hide and if i click on another menu button popover should get hide from previous button and should be shown on other button…

My project is already created with UIviewcontroller, so i think it would be much difficult to include the tab bars

any help please …

-(IBAction)buttonNotify:(id)sender{

popOver.frame = CGRectMake(173, 385, 88, 33);

[self.view addSubview:popOver];

}

Answer 1

In .h file of your ViewController declare

UIImageView *popupView`;

In .m file in initialisation initialise it, something like

popupView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:@"your_image.png"];
popUpView.frame = //some CGRect here//;
popUpView.hidden = YES;
[self.view addsubView:popupView];
[popupView release];

Also when you create your buttons you do it like this, yep?

UIButton *btn = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
btn.frame = //some CGRect here//;
btn.tag = 1; // here you can set numeric tag for all your buttons
[btn addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonHandler:)forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:btn]; 
[btn release]

And implement method

-(void)buttonHandler:(id)sender
{
    //sender here is your button object
    //so you can take it's tag or frame or something else to set frame of popupView
    popUpView.frame = //some rect
    popUpView.hidden = NO;
}

And you when you handle touch on your view, set
popupView.hidden = YES to hide it

Also you can add some animation.
