How to make a uiactionsheet dismiss when you tap outside eg above it?

Question

How do i make a uiactionsheet dismiss when you tap outside eg above it? This is for iPhone. Apparently the ipad does this by default (I may be wrong).

This does not answer the question exactly, but here is what I do to close the picker when clicking on one of its items (this prevents from adding additional "done" button or "outside click" stuff):

Implement the viewForRow picker's delegate method in which you create a UILabel and return it:

- (UIView *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView viewForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component reusingView:(UIView *)view

On those custom row labels, add a tap action handler:

UITapGestureRecognizer *tapAction = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleClick:)];
[label addGestureRecognizer:tapAction];

In the handleClick callback, dismiss the open sheet (the one that contains the picker view):

[pickerSheet dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:0 animated:TRUE];
