How to correctly present a popover from a UITableViewCell with UIPopoverArrowDirectionRight or UIPopoverArrowDirectionLeft

Question

I always try to present a popover from a cell inside a tableView this way:

[myPopover presentPopoverFromRect:cell.frame inView:self.tableView permittedArrowD         


        

Answer 1

In Swift, between the above answers this works for me on an iPad in any orientation:

if let popOverPresentationController : UIPopoverPresentationController = myAlertController.popoverPresentationController {

    let cellRect = tableView.rectForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath)

    popOverPresentationController.sourceView                = tableView
    popOverPresentationController.sourceRect                = cellRect
    popOverPresentationController.permittedArrowDirections  = UIPopoverArrowDirection.Any

}
