Add Uipickerview in Uiactionsheet from iOS 8 Not Working

Showing a UIPickerView with UIActionSheet in iOS8 not working

From the reference for UIActionSheet:

UIActionSheet is not designed to be subclassed, nor should you add views to its hierarchy. If you need to present a sheet with more customization than provided by the UIActionSheet API, you can create your own and present it modally with presentViewController:animated:completion:.

My guess is your seeing exactly why.

The reference for UIAlertController doesn't have a similar disclaimer, but looking at its interface, my guess is Apple will add it before release.

My recommendation would be to just create a small view containing your picker and buttons and show and hide it as needed. It's not that hard to do and your not pushing interfaces beyond their intended uses.

UIPickerView with UIActionSheet IOS 8 stop working

The link provided above actually refers to Apple Doc where it has removed adding subview to UIActionSheet. In your code, you are doing similar thing by adding UIPickerView into UIActionSheet. So in iOS8 onwards, even if the view is added to UIActionSheet, the view returned is actually nil while displaying.

For this purpose you can use ActionSheetPicker-3.0.
Actually, it's not UIActionSheet anymore. But looks exactly the same, and that's why it works on iOS8.
Do let me know if this answers your query!

iOS 8 broke UIPickerView in UIActionSheet

After banging my head on the desk for some time, I found the solution, well, I mean I found the dumb error I was making.

I was doing the textField configuration backwards. I thought the intent was to pass the textField parameter my text field, when I should have been setting the properties of the text field given.

Simply changing to

// is iOS 8, ActionSheet, newly deprecated, will not allow subviews. Use UIAlertController instead
        NSString *title = NSLocalizedString(@"Select Project", @"Title for Action Sheet");
        UIAlertController *projectSelector = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:title message:nil preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];
        [projectSelector addAction:[UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:klocalized_CancelButtonTitle style:UIAlertActionStyleCancel handler:nil]];
        [projectSelector addAction:[UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:klocalized_SelectButtonTitle style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault handler:^(UIAlertAction *action) {

        }]];

        [projectSelector addTextFieldWithConfigurationHandler:^(UITextField *textField) {
            //Set the properties of the textField provided. DO NOT CREATE YOUR OWN.
            [textField setPlaceholder:NSLocalizedString(@"Make Selection", @"PlaceHolder for project field when awaiting picker choice")];
            [textField setInputView:self.projectPicker];
            [textField setDelegate:self];
            self.projectField = textField;
        }];

        [self presentViewController:projectSelector animated:YES completion:^{

        }];

how to manage uipickerview in uiactionsheet

Finally i got the solution

First of all i have to set the width of the picker view as i have mentioned

CGRect pickerFrame=CGRectMake(0, 40, 0, 0);

so it can be like

CGRect pickerFrame=CGRectMake(0, 40, 320, 0);

I found one more good solution :

Just call the picker view in action sheet by clicking a text field:

self.textField.inputView = yourCustomView;

UIPickerView Not Working In IOS 8

I solve this by making programmatically picker-view , problem is in my view because i create two view one is main and second is sliderview , calling picker from view for slider view ,
now my code is look like this

 - (void)viewDidLoad
{
 UIPickerView *myPickerView = [[UIPickerView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 200, 320, 200)];
myPickerView.delegate = self;
myPickerView.showsSelectionIndicator = YES;
 //[sliderView addSubview:_myPickerView];

txtstreet.inputView=_myPickerView;
myArray = arrwithdata;
}

and other code is same ... it's work in both os.

Is there any way to add UIPickerView into UIAlertController (Alert or ActionSheet) in Swift?

Well this is my final code which worked for me. It is a mix by a few ideas. The main reasons that I will accept my answer is that my code is in Swift, my code uses UIAlertController, my code is for picker. I want to thank to Jageen - my answer is based on his idea.

    func showPickerInActionSheet(sentBy: String) {
    var title = ""
    var message = "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n";
    var alert = UIAlertController(title: title, message: message, preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.ActionSheet);
    alert.modalInPopover = true;

    //Create a frame (placeholder/wrapper) for the picker and then create the picker
    var pickerFrame: CGRect = CGRectMake(17, 52, 270, 100); // CGRectMake(left), top, width, height) - left and top are like margins
    var picker: UIPickerView = UIPickerView(frame: pickerFrame);

    /* If there will be 2 or 3 pickers on this view, I am going to use the tag as a way
    to identify them in the delegate and datasource. /* This part with the tags is not required.
    I am doing it this way, because I have a variable, witch knows where the Alert has been invoked from.*/
    if(sentBy == "profile"){
        picker.tag = 1;
    } else if (sentBy == "user"){
        picker.tag = 2;
    } else {
        picker.tag = 0;
    }

    //set the pickers datasource and delegate
    picker.delegate = self;
    picker.dataSource = self;

    //Add the picker to the alert controller
    alert.view.addSubview(picker);

    //Create the toolbar view - the view witch will hold our 2 buttons 
    var toolFrame = CGRectMake(17, 5, 270, 45);
    var toolView: UIView = UIView(frame: toolFrame);

    //add buttons to the view
    var buttonCancelFrame: CGRect = CGRectMake(0, 7, 100, 30); //size & position of the button as placed on the toolView

    //Create the cancel button & set its title
    var buttonCancel: UIButton = UIButton(frame: buttonCancelFrame);
    buttonCancel.setTitle("Cancel", forState: UIControlState.Normal);
    buttonCancel.setTitleColor(UIColor.blueColor(), forState: UIControlState.Normal);
    toolView.addSubview(buttonCancel); //add it to the toolView

    //Add the target - target, function to call, the event witch will trigger the function call
    buttonCancel.addTarget(self, action: "cancelSelection:", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchDown);

    //add buttons to the view
    var buttonOkFrame: CGRect = CGRectMake(170, 7, 100, 30); //size & position of the button as placed on the toolView

    //Create the Select button & set the title
    var buttonOk: UIButton = UIButton(frame: buttonOkFrame);
    buttonOk.setTitle("Select", forState: UIControlState.Normal);
    buttonOk.setTitleColor(UIColor.blueColor(), forState: UIControlState.Normal);
    toolView.addSubview(buttonOk); //add to the subview

    //Add the tartget. In my case I dynamicly set the target of the select button
    if(sentBy == "profile"){
        buttonOk.addTarget(self, action: "saveProfile:", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchDown);
    } else if (sentBy == "user"){
        buttonOk.addTarget(self, action: "saveUser:", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchDown);
    }

    //add the toolbar to the alert controller
    alert.view.addSubview(toolView);

    self.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil);
}

func saveProfile(sender: UIButton){
    // Your code when select button is tapped

}

func saveUser(sender: UIButton){
    // Your code when select button is tapped
}

func cancelSelection(sender: UIButton){
    println("Cancel");
    self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil);
    // We dismiss the alert. Here you can add your additional code to execute when cancel is pressed
}

// returns number of rows in each component..
func pickerView(pickerView: UIPickerView, numberOfRowsInComponent component: Int) -> Int{
    if(pickerView.tag == 1){
        return self.profilesList.count;
    } else if(pickerView.tag == 2){
        return self.usersList.count;
    } else  {
        return 0;
    }
}

// Return the title of each row in your picker ... In my case that will be the profile name or the username string
func pickerView(pickerView: UIPickerView, titleForRow row: Int, forComponent component: Int) -> String! {
    if(pickerView.tag == 1){

            var selectedProfile: Profiles = self.profilesList[row] as Profiles;
            return selectedProfile.profileName;

    } else if(pickerView.tag == 2){

            var selectedUser: Users = self.usersList[row] as Users;
            return selectedUser.username;

    } else  {

        return "";

    }

}

func pickerView(pickerView: UIPickerView, didSelectRow row: Int, inComponent component: Int) {
    if(pickerView.tag == 1){
            var choosenProfile: Profiles = profilesList[row] as Profiles;
            self.selectedProfile = choosenProfile.profileName;
    } else if (pickerView.tag == 2){
            var choosenUser: Profiles = usersList[row] as Users;
            self.selectedUsername = choosenUser.username;
    }

}

how to add UIPickerView in UIActionSheet

First of all, I think you might be confusing a UIPickerView with a UIDatePickerView. The date picker is a specialized picker that can't be customized while a UIPickerView is made specifically to be customized. Marc W is right in his comment. I answered this question before and feel it offers a better solution than trying to add the picker to the UIActionSheet.

There are lots of UIPickerView tutorials out there.
