In my app, I’d like to show a popup screen within my UITableViewController screen listing a few options for the user to select from.

Similar to how the Facebook app works (unfortunately I have no requests) 🙁

Facebook friends requests table

So I have two questions:

1) The black, shaded frame we see here seems to be a common style that I see a lot, especially in iPad apps. Is this just coincidence that apps use the same style? Is it a 3rd party plugin that others are using? Or is it a new, native part of the iOS SDK?

2) If I am to build this subview myself, what kind of structure would be best? I’d thought of:

UIImageView (for the background) > 
    UILabel (containing the header)
    UITableView (containing my sub-table)

Thanks in advance

    It’s UIPopoverController, native component for iPad, but not for iPhone.
    For iPhone use 3rd party frameworks, like this one:
