Adding Images to UIActionSheet buttons as in UIDocumentInteractionController

Question

Is it possible to add an image to the buttons of the UIActionSheet as seen in UIDocumentInteractionController? If so, please let me know how it is

Answer 1

The standard UIActionSheet doesn't support images.

One way to add an image to the UIActionSheet is to add a subview to the UIActionSheet. Just implement the UIActionSheetDelegate method willPresentActionSheet: like this:

- (void)willPresentActionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet {
     UIImageView* buttonImage = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"picturename.png"]];
     // Set the frame of the ImageView that it's over the button.
     [actionSheet addSubview:buttonImage];
     [buttonImage release]; // only if you don't need this anymore
}

I'm not sure if the image responds to touches, but you can build a UIActionSheet like theUIDocumentInteractionController.
