How do i make a uiactionsheet dismiss when you tap outside eg above it? This is for iPhone. Apparently the ipad does this by default (I may be wrong).
Ok got a solution. The following applies to a subclass of a UIActionSheet
// For detecting taps outside of the alert view
-(void)tapOut:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer {
CGPoint p = [gestureRecognizer locationInView:self];
if (p.y < 0) { // They tapped outside
[self dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:0 animated:YES];
}
}
-(void) showFromTabBar:(UITabBar *)view {
[super showFromTabBar:view];
// Capture taps outside the bounds of this alert view
UITapGestureRecognizer *tap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(tapOut:)];
tap.cancelsTouchesInView = NO; // So that legit taps on the table bubble up to the tableview
[self.superview addGestureRecognizer:tap];
[tap release];
}
The gist of it is to add a gesture recogniser to the action sheet's superview, and test all taps to see if they are above the action sheet.
