Examples:
Here’s an example demonstrating how to customize the popover and implement its delegate methods:
class ViewController: UIViewController, SHPopoverControllerDelegate {
var popoverController: SHPopoverController?
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let contentView = UIView()
// Set up your content view
popoverController = SHPopoverController(contentView: contentView)
popoverController?.delegate = self
popoverController?.backgroundColor = .white
popoverController?.borderTintColor = .gray
popoverController?.present(from: presentingView, in: self, animated: true)
}
// MARK: - SHPopoverControllerDelegate
func popoverWillPresent(controller: SHPopoverController) {
// Handle popover will present event
}
func popoverDidPresent(controller: SHPopoverController) {
// Handle popover did present event
}
func popoverWillDismiss(controller: SHPopoverController) {
// Handle popover will dismiss event
}
func popoverDidDismiss(controller: SHPopoverController) {
// Handle popover did dismiss event
}
// Other delegate methods...
