Where to set the size of a view controller presented in a popover?

Question

Based on Apple's sample code, my app is presenting a view controller in a popover, which is trigged by a bar button:

- (IBAction)configChartTapped:(id)sender {

GrowthChartConfigOneViewController *panelViewController = [[GrowthChartConfigOneViewController alloc]init];

UIPopoverController *popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc]initWithContentViewController:panelViewController];
popover.delegate = self;

// Store the popover in a custom property for later use.
self.popover = popover;

[self.popover presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:sender permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES]; 
}

However, I did not find a way to set the size of the popover.

Question: Where and how should I set the size of the popover and its view controller? Can I set the size directly in XCode to have the view correctly sized in storyboard?

Answer 1

You can also set it within the popover class itself. This way if you allow the popover to be called from multiple places, you can just set the size once.

- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
    self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
    if (self) {
        // Custom initialization
        self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
        self.contentSizeForViewInPopover = CGSizeMake(320.0, 216.0);
    }
    return self;
}

Answer 2

Just give popovercontentsize and make sure that view should fit in popover size as defined below:

    popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController: panelViewController];
    popover.popoverContentSize = CGSizeMake(550, 700);
