On Iphone 4 the ActionSheetStringPicker doesn't work Well

[89moku]

Hi Everyone,
when I'm using this picker on iphone 4 (and only on real device) I've this bug. If I try the same code on the Iphone 3,5 inch simulator it works well...
What it can be?
Thank you so much, best regards!

Hello! Only on device? in simulator it works fine?
Very strange bug. Probably even not project's, but Apple.
Can you provide a little bit more details?

[89moku]

Hi Petr,
yes only on device… It’s really strange, and on first release of iOS 7 I didn’t had this bug. I think that I got it from iOS 7.1
I’ve a view controller with a MKMapView and the yellow UIButton, with an action when it’s tapped:

• (IBAction)categoryFilter:(UIControl *)sender {
  NSString * language = [[NSLocale preferredLanguages] objectAtIndex:0];
  if([language isEqualToString:@"it"]){
  [ActionSheetStringPicker showPickerWithTitle:@"Filtra Categoria" rows:self.categories initialSelection:0 target:self successAction:@selector(filterMap:) cancelAction:nil origin:sender];
  }
  else{
  [ActionSheetStringPicker showPickerWithTitle:@"Filter Category" rows:self.categories initialSelection:0 target:self successAction:@selector(filterMap:) cancelAction:nil origin:sender];
  }
  }

If you need something more, tell me!
Thank you for your quick reply.

Just for sure: try to set origin to self.view

- (IBAction)categoryFilter:(UIControl *)sender {
    NSString * language = [[NSLocale preferredLanguages] objectAtIndex:0];
    if([language isEqualToString:@"it"]){
        [ActionSheetStringPicker showPickerWithTitle:@"Filtra Categoria" 
            rows:self.categories 
            initialSelection:0 
            target:self 
            successAction:@selector(filterMap:) 
            cancelAction:nil 
            origin:self.view];
    }
    else{
        [ActionSheetStringPicker showPickerWithTitle:@"Filter Category" 
            rows:self.categories 
            initialSelection:0 
            target:self 
            successAction:@selector(filterMap:) 
            cancelAction:nil 
            origin:self.view];
    }
}

Already tryed but no results.

[skywinder]

Is this problem still actual?
Just for test:
Can you try to set your MKMapView to hidden before show the picker?
like:
mkview.hidden = YES;

[89moku]

Hi Petr,
I've tried to hide the mkview but there's no good news :(

Thank you for your kindly help.

[skywinder]

Very strange.
Especially - how your buttons (Filtra Categoria and GPS location) can stay in front of picker. Did you add these buttons programmatically? How?

[89moku]

I add them in storyboard, they're fixed, nothing is added programmatically

[skywinder]

So, what about example of the project? Did you try to run it on your device? is it works correctly?

Ok.. Let's try a dirty hack to figure out, where is the problem.
Let's try to add red background exactly the same size like our actionSheet.
And after dismissing you should see the red frame exactly the same size like actionSheet view.

Add these 3 lines before calling ActionSheet:

- (IBAction)categoryFilter:(UIControl *)sender {

    UIView * view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 223.25, 320, 433)];
    [view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
    [self.view addSubview:view];

    NSString * language = [[NSLocale preferredLanguages] objectAtIndex:0];
    if([language isEqualToString:@"it"]){
        [ActionSheetStringPicker showPickerWithTitle:@"Filtra Categoria" 
            rows:self.categories 
            initialSelection:0 
            target:self 
            successAction:@selector(filterMap:) 
            cancelAction:nil 
            origin:self.view];
    }
    else{
        [ActionSheetStringPicker showPickerWithTitle:@"Filter Category" 
            rows:self.categories 
            initialSelection:0 
            target:self 
            successAction:@selector(filterMap:) 
            cancelAction:nil 
            origin:self.view];
    }
}

It should cover all of your views and you should see something like this:

[89moku]

This is what I see...

[skywinder]

well, go ahead.

Please, set the breakpoint on the line:
_actionSheet.bounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.viewSize.width, sheetHeight);

Here is most strange part of legacy code.
Tell me please the value of this parameters here:
self.viewSize.height
sheetHeight
aView.frame.size.height

[89moku]

self.viewSize.height = 480
sheetHeight = 433
aView.frame.size.height = not available... I see that aView._viewDelegate is nil, is it correct?

[Frozenleaf]

Interesting thing is, I am observing the same problem with iPhone 4.
It doesn't happen on iPhone 4s, which has the same screen size.

If you adjust the brightness of the area below the "Filtra Categoria" you will need a vertically compress version of the scroll wheel.

[skywinder]

@89moku Yes, it's correct. I have no idea why this could happen.
The last thing, that I can recommend to try - is try to push new ViewController and try to represent it there.

@Frozenleaf Very strange bug. So, what about example project? Is it works on iPhone 4?

[garbatix]

I have the same problem on real device iPhone 4. And it only happen on real device (iOS 7.1), on simulator is ok.

[JaseElder]

I'm getting the same thing on iPhone 4, 7.1.1
Same with the example project.

The values I get for the above are

self.viewSize.height = 480
sheetHeight = 433
aView.frame.size.height = 260

On iPad 4, 7.1.1, running as an iPhone app, the problem goes away.

[JaseElder]

I think I've sorted it and added a Pull Request.
I hope so anyway, I'm not really sure about how to use GitHub

[skywinder]

@JaseElder thanks! 👍 You're do it right!
@garbatix, @89moku #6 - should fix this problem.
Let me know about results!

[skywinder]

try to update pod:
pod 'ActionSheetPicker-3.0', '~> 1.0.8'

[JaseElder]

pod's all good for me.
Cheers!

[garbatix]

Works great now. Thanks.
