Dismiss ActionSheet by touch outside of it in iPhone

Question

I want to dismiss UIActionsheet when user taps anywhere else on screen. I don't want to provide cancel button.

My code

UIActionSheet *sheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:sheetTitle delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles: nil];

    [sheet setTag:indexPath.row];

    for (NSString *buttonTitle in buttonTitles)
    {
        [sheet addButtonWithTitle:buttonTitle];
    }

    [sheet showFromToolbar:self.navigationController.toolbar];

    [sheet release];
    [buttonTitles release];

Answer 1

Make your ActionSheet object global and then allocate it into your block. then you can dismiss it from outside touches event on your view. add following block into your view.

- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
  [sheet removeFromSuperView];
  sheet=nil;
}

hope this will help you

Answer 2

try this

UITapGestureRecognizer *tap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(tapOut:)];
tap.cancelsTouchesInView = NO;
[actionSheet.window addGestureRecognizer:tap];
[tap release];`<br> `-(void)tapOut:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer {
CGPoint p = [gestureRecognizer locationInView:self.actionSheet];

if (p.y < 0) {
  [actionSheet dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:0 animated:YES];
}
}

Answer 3

It is UIActionsheet default feature to dismiss when touch outside . No Need of additional code.

[sheet showFromToolbar:self.navigationController.toolbar];

is making the problem I think. Change it to

[sheet showInView:[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow];

Answer 4

Declare ActionSheet globally and then paste this code after the viewdidload

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event{

        [super touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];
        [actionSheet dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:0 animated:YES];
    }

works 100%
