UIActionSheet in a tab view

Posted: 20-08-2009 | Author: flexicoder | Category: iPhone Development

I was getting problems displaying an action sheet in a view that was contained within a tab control. 

UIActionSheet *sheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:@"Are you sure you wish to continue?"
									   delegate:self
									  cancelButtonTitle:@"No"
								   destructiveButtonTitle:@"Yes"
									  otherButtonTitles:nil];
[sheet showInView:self.view];
[sheet release];

The prompt would be displayed but the clicking of the “No” button didn’t always work. The problem is although there is a view that can display the prompt, the correct view to do it is the tab bar, The following code works fine

UIActionSheet *sheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:@"Are you sure you wish to continue?"
									   delegate:self
									  cancelButtonTitle:@"No"
								   destructiveButtonTitle:@"Yes"
									  otherButtonTitles:nil];
[sheet showFromTabBar:self.tabBarController.tabBar];
[sheet release];
