UIPopoverController delegate not getting called on dismiss
delegates, ios, objective-c, uipopovercontroller
Solution
The `popoverControllerDidDismissPopover:` in the delegate is not called when 'dismissPopoverAnimated:' is used.
From the Apple Documentation for `popoverControllerDidDismissPopover:` in `UIPopoverControllerDelegate`:
The popover controller does not call this method in response to programmatic calls to the dismissPopoverAnimated: method. If you dismiss the popover programmatically, you should perform any cleanup actions immediately after calling the dismissPopoverAnimated: method.
Problem
I assign popover object o it's contentViewController and I put dismiss code in a button which resides in the content view controller. When the button is pressed: ``` [self.popover dismissPopoverAnimated:YES]; ``` is called and popover is dismissed. However, delegate's method is not called automatically. I thought that I was not setting it's delegate, but it is there. If I add the following line after dismissPopoverAnimated line, delegate is called correctly... ``` [self.popover.delegate popoverControllerDidDismissPopover:self.popover]; ``` I don't understand why it doesn't "automatically" call the delegate's method. How can this happen?
