Simply design your own view and add it on selected view/ rect

    popoverController = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:imagePickerController];
    popoverController.delegate = self;
    [popoverController presentPopoverFromRect:self.view.bounds inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];

and dont forgot to include < UIPopoverControllerDelegate > delegate in .h file

Its your own customized view, normally how you will provide button action just simply provide same as it. – Madhu Feb 19 '13 at 13:06
and what it is imagePickerController – Christien Feb 19 '13 at 13:17
@Christien Thats the contentViewController of UIPopoverController which is going to use. Just check it any sample project of UIPopOver Controller, you will get clear idea. – Madhu Feb 19 '13 at 13:22

For option 1 you need UIPopoverController, you have the docs and code examples here

For option 2 you need UIActivityViewController, doc here

I actually wanted the `UIActivityViewController` for sharing purpose but problem is that UIActivityViewController support only `ios6` not before that..what can I do to support before ios version for sharing purpose.. – Christien Feb 20 '13 at 11:12
For previous versions you have to use the UIActionSheet, but it doesn't have icons, just buttons. – jcesarmobile Feb 20 '13 at 11:28
ok thanks man!! and one more doubt plz clear ..in image 1, which is UIPopoverController the icons are on which thing?? means it is not on the UIActionSheet.. – Christien Feb 20 '13 at 11:44

In the UIPopoverController you can load a custom UIViewController. If you create the .xib file with the buttons you want. BTW, the UIPopoverController only works on iPad, the UIPopoverController in image 1 isn't a real UIPopoverController, it's just a UIView with buttons that they show when you tap the Options button. – jcesarmobile Feb 20 '13 at 11:59
