Dismissing iPad UIPopoverController from within it's content controller
- by joshholat
So I have a popover with a button in it. When that button is pushed, I want the popover to go away. It seems easy enough, but I can't figure it out for the life of me. The code I use to show the popover is below:
AddCategoryViewController* content = [[AddCategoryViewController alloc] init];
UIPopoverController* aPopover = [[UIPopoverController alloc]
initWithContentViewController:content];
aPopover.delegate = self;
[content release];
// Store the popover in a custom property for later use.
self.addCategoryPopover = aPopover;
[aPopover release];
[addCategoryPopover presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:sender permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp animated:YES];
Within the addcategoryviewcontroller, I have:
-(IBAction)saveAddCategory:(id)sender {
if (rootViewController == nil)
rootViewController = [[RootViewController alloc] init];
[rootViewController.addCategoryPopover dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
[rootViewController dismissPopover];
}
Rootviewcontroller is where the popover is being created from. Unfortunately, neither of those methods work to dismiss it. any help?
