Question

I work on a project with ios5, Xcode 4, iPad.

I have a popover triggered from a standard button in my main view. I have setup the popover in the storyboard with a segue anchored to a standard button.

The UIPopoverControllerDelegate is my main view controller

 @interface ViewController : UIViewController <UIPopoverControllerDelegate>

When I select a row in the popover I want to

• dismiss the popover and
• call the UIPopoverControllerDelegate method popoverControllerDidDismissPopover.

This is the code in the table view delegate of my popover:

 - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath      *)indexPath {
     myKey = [myArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
     [popoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
     // [popoverController.delegate popoverControllerDidDismissPopover];

Without last line, all works OK, row selection and dismission included.

But I am confused with the last line of code

     [popoverController.delegate popoverControllerDidDismissPopover];

If this line is uncommented I get a compiler error: “No known instance method for selector popoverControllerDidDismissPopover”. The popover delegate is set in main view controller with this code:

- (void) prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardPopoverSegue *) segue sender:(id) sender {
     if ([[segue destinationViewController] isKindOfClass:[RGBViewController class]]) {
        RGBViewController* viewController = (RGBViewController*)[segue destinationViewController];
        UIStoryboardPopoverSegue* popoverSegue  = (UIStoryboardPopoverSegue*)segue;
        [viewController setPopoverController:[popoverSegue popoverController]];
        [[popoverSegue popoverController] setDelegate:self];
     }
 }

Any help?

Thank you.

You are missing the attribute. The line you are looking for is:

[popoverController.delegate popoverControllerDidDismissPopover:popoverController];

Is there a particular reason you want to call this? I believe this should be called for you when you dismiss the popover.
