Popover for nav bar button

[robertiii]

I found this code somewhere on the internet heehee.

def menuButton(sender):
	pv = ui.View()
	pv.name = 'popover'
	pv.frame = (0,0,200,200)
	x = sender.x + sender.width/2
	y = sender.superview.titlebar_height + sender.y + sender.height/2
	pv.present('popover',popover_location = (x,y))  

However this doesn’t work with navbar buttons as they don’t have the location information. How can I get the location info?

@robertiii try this

import ui
from objc_util import *

v = ui.View()
v.background_color = 'white'

def b_action(sender):
	vi = ObjCInstance(b).view()
	r = vi.convertRect_toView_(vi.bounds(),None)
	# x,y in screen coordinates, not in view
	x,y,w,h = r.origin.x,r.origin.y,r.size.width,r.size.height
	po = ui.View()
	po.frame = (0,0,200,200)
	po.present('popover',popover_location=(x+w/2,y+h))

b = ui.ButtonItem()
b.title = 'popover'
b.action = b_action
v.right_button_items = (b,)
v.present('fullscreen')

You can also get position in a view with

import ui
from objc_util import *

v = ui.View()
v.background_color = 'white'

def b_action(sender):
	vi = ObjCInstance(b).view()
	#r = vi.convertRect_toView_(vi.bounds(),None)
	r = vi.convertRect_toView_(vi.bounds(),ObjCInstance(v))
	# x,y in view coordinates
	x,y,w,h = r.origin.x,r.origin.y,r.size.width,r.size.height
	po = ui.View()
	po.frame = (0,0,200,200)
	po.present('popover',popover_location=(x+w/2,y+h))

b = ui.ButtonItem()
b.title = 'popover'
b.action = b_action
v.right_button_items = (b,)

v.frame = (0,0,300,300)
v.present('sheet')
#v.present('fullscreen')
