Dismissing iPad UIPopoverController when BarButtonItem is pushed while it's open

Question

Using a split view on the iPad, I have the following code:

- (void) splitViewController:(UISplitViewController *)svc willHideViewController:(UIViewController         


        

Answer 1

The code I used to show the popover in RootViewController.m:

- (IBAction) addCategory:(id)sender {
  AddCategoryViewController *content = [[AddCategoryViewController alloc] init];
  UIPopoverController *aPopover = [[UIPopoverController alloc]
                                   initWithContentViewController:content];

  aPopover.delegate = self;

  // Store the popover in a custom property for later use.
  self.addCategoryPopover = aPopover;
  addCategoryPopover.delegate = self;
  [aPopover release];
  [content release];

  [addCategoryPopover presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:sender permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp animated:YES];
}

This I used to try and dismiss it from another class:

-(IBAction)saveAddCategory:(id)sender {
  rootViewController = [[RootViewController alloc] init];
  [rootViewController dismissPopover];
}

My dismissPopover function looks like:

- (void) dismissPopover {
  if ([self.addCategoryPopover isPopoverVisible]) {
    [self.addCategoryPopover dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
  }
  if (addCategoryPopover.popoverVisible == YES) {
    [addCategoryPopover dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
  }
}
