ios 7 - Custom UIMenuItem not working on TableViewCell

Question

I am working on adding custom UIMenuItem on tableViewCell. I used this stackoverflow post to to add customMenuItem. This worked fine on ios 6. But it is not at all working on ios 7.

Below is the implementation I have:

In viewDidLoad :

UIMenuItem *sendByEmailMenuItem = [[UIMenuItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Send By Email" action:@selector(sendByEmail:)];
[[UIMenuController sharedMenuController] setMenuItems: @[sendByEmailMenuItem]];
[[UIMenuController sharedMenuController] update];

Then adding its delegate

// Shared Menu item delegate actions

- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView shouldShowMenuForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    self.orderAtIndex = [self.orders objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    [self becomeFirstResponder];
    return YES;
}

- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canPerformAction:(SEL)action forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath withSender:(id)sender 
{
    return  (action == @selector(sendByEmail:));
}


- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView performAction:(SEL)action forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath withSender:(id)sender {
    if (action == @selector(sendByEmail:)) {
        [self sendByEmail:sender];
    }
}

// Subclassing Table View cells

-(BOOL) canPerformAction:(SEL)action withSender:(id)sender {
    return (action == @selector(sendByEmail:));
}

- (BOOL)canBecomeFirstResponder {
    return YES;
}

- (void) sendByEmail: (id) sender {
    // Some actions...
}

What I am doing wrong? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

In viewWillAppear or viewDidLoad , i added these

 UIMenuItem *translateToMenu = [[UIMenuItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Translate to.." action:@selector(translateTo:)];
 UIMenuController *menuController = [UIMenuController sharedMenuController];
 [menuController setMenuItems:[NSArray arrayWithObject:translateToMenu]];
 [menuController setMenuVisible:YES animated:YES];

added this method

-(void) translateTo: (id) sender {}

and add only these 2 methods

- (BOOL) canPerformAction:(SEL)selector withSender:(id) sender {
    if (selector == @selector(translateTo:)) 
        return YES;
    else
        return NO;
}

- (BOOL) canBecomeFirstResponder {
    return YES;
}

Try this and let me know…
