I have a class that subclasses ABNewPersonViewController
. As I understand, when the Done button in the navigation bar is clicked, the delegate method
- (void)newPersonViewController:(ABNewPersonViewController *)newPersonViewController didCompleteWithNewPerson:(ABRecordRef)person
gets called. But before entering the delegate method, the changes will be saved to address book.
What I need is, as soon as the save button gets pressed. I need to load a UIView
with 2 buttons asking the user,
But this should be done before the changes are reflected in the address book. And only on the click of the first button in the UIView
, that the changes should be saved in the address book.
On the click of the 2nd button, the view should disappear and I should return to the view controller class from where the UIView
is loaded.
My question is, how will I load the view on save button click, before the changes are reflected in the address book
I have created a custom save button
UIBarButtonItem *okBtn = self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem;
UIBarButtonItem *saveBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemSave target:okBtn.target action:okBtn.action];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem =saveBtn;
[saveBtn release];
On the save button action, the control goes to the delegate method
- (void)newPersonViewController:(ABNewPersonViewController *)newPersonViewController didCompleteWithNewPerson:(ABRecordRef)person` .
I want the control go to my custom method, where I can load my UIView
before the edits are saved in the address book.
Edit:
When I load the ABNewPersonViewController
ABPersonViewController *displayVcardViewController = (ABPersonViewController*)[self.navigationController visibleViewController];
ABRecordRef person = displayVcardViewController.displayedPerson;
EditAddressNewPersonDetailViewController *newVCardViewController = [[EditAddressNewPersonDetailViewController alloc] init];
newVCardViewController.displayedPerson = person;
newVCardViewController.newPersonViewDelegate = self;
newVCardViewController.isEditingMode = YES;
[self.navigationController setToolbarHidden:YES];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:newVCardViewController animated:YES];
[newVCardViewController release];
Isn't this strong reference already or else Where should I include the strong reference.
On
- (void)actionSave:(UIBarButtonItem *)sender {
if([[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"MyView" owner:self options:nil]) {
[self.myView setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow addSubview:self.myView];
UIActionSheet * action = [[UIActionSheet alloc]initWithTitle:@""
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:@"Do"
destructiveButtonTitle:@"Cancel"
otherButtonTitles: nil];
action.tag = 101;
[action showInView:self.view];
[action release];
}
}
I am loading a UIView
with UIAlertView
over it.
Update: Starting with iOS 7.0, ABNewPersonViewController
is not subclassable anymore and this won't work.
First, keep a reference to the default rightBarButtonItem
before overriding it.
If you're subclassing ABNewPersonViewController
, your viewDidLoad
would look like:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Store the old button item into a custom property
// @property (nonatomic, retain) UIBarButtonItem *defaultRightBarButtonItem;
self.defaultRightBarButtonItem = self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem;
UIBarButtonItem *saveBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemSave
target:self
action:@selector(actionSave:)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = saveBtn;
[saveBtn release];
}
And you call the default action on the default target in your custom action method:
- (void)actionSave:(UIBarButtonItem *)sender {
// Do what you want to do before the data is saved
// ....
// ....
// Trigger the default action
[self.defaultRightBarButtonItem.target
performSelector:self.defaultRightBarButtonItem.action
withObject:self.defaultRightBarButtonItem.target];
}
