UIPopoverController modal issue

Question

enter image description here

I have UIPopoverController

    UINavigationController *navVC = [[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:loginVC] autorelease];

    navVC.modalInPopover = YES;
    navVC.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationCurrentContext;    


    _popoverLoginVC = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:navVC];

And when I present popover

  [self.popoverLoginVC presentPopoverFromRect:centerFrame
                                     inView:self.splitVC.view
                   permittedArrowDirections:0 
                                   animated:YES];

It looks like it is modal (I can't close popover by tapping outside) but other area hadn't dimmed. I have played with modalPresentationStyle with no luck (

Please, advise

Why did you leave out the code for "presentPopoverFromRect"? It could be the key to solving your issue. — Stavash, Apr 18 '12 at 09:42

It's modal because you're setting it to be modal.

navVC.modalInPopover = YES;

Just delete that and you should be fine if I understand you correctly.

No, I need modal, but **other area should be dimmed** – Injectios Apr 18 '12 at 09:55

Remove the line

navVC.modalInPopover = YES;

navVC.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationCurrentContext;

No, I need modal. The problem is - other area not dimmed – Injectios Apr 18 '12 at 09:56
change the alpha of the mainview when you add popover on the view. – Hardik Patel Apr 18 '12 at 10:01

A popover isn't meant to (and can't be specified to) dim the 'background' views, even if presented modally.

In iOS7 they actually do, automatically: "The popover content is layered on top of your existing content and the background is dimmed automatically", from the [reference page](https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/uikit/reference/UIPopoverController_class/Reference/Reference.html). – Clafou Dec 12 '13 at 17:40

permittedArrowDirections:0

This is not a valid value for this parameter and will result in undefined behavior (at least in iOS >= 6). You must specify one of:

UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp = 1UL << 0,
UIPopoverArrowDirectionDown = 1UL << 1,
UIPopoverArrowDirectionLeft = 1UL << 2,
UIPopoverArrowDirectionRight = 1UL << 3,
UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny = UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp | UIPopoverArrowDirectionDown | UIPopoverArrowDirectionLeft | UIPopoverArrowDirectionRight,

Unfortunately, "no arrow" is not a supported option. :(
