I'd like to present a UIAlertController over a UIContextualAction 'button' in a UITableViewCell. My question is how to set the sourceRect for the specific selected action? I assume it's possible, the way the iOS Mail app allows you to select more options when you swipe left on a cell (see image).
When you setup your action, it has a view
parameter. Use that to setup the action sheet.
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, trailingSwipeActionsConfigurationForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UISwipeActionsConfiguration? {
let act1 = UIContextualAction(style: .normal, title: "Bar") { (action, view, completion) in
completion(false)
}
let act2 = UIContextualAction(style: .normal, title: "Foo") { (action, view, completion) in
let alert = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: nil, preferredStyle: .actionSheet)
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Option 1", style: .default) { (action) in
completion(true)
})
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Option 2", style: .default) { (action) in
completion(false)
})
// This sets up the alert to show next to the button
alert.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = view
alert.popoverPresentationController?.sourceRect = view.bounds
self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
return UISwipeActionsConfiguration(actions: [act1, act2])
}
Of course this only works on an iPad since on an iPhone the alert will show from the bottom of the screen.
