How to present iOS UIActionSheet in Swift?

Question

How can I present a UIActionSheet in Swift within an iOS app?

Here is my code for displaying a UIActionSheet:

@IBAction func downloadSheet(sender: AnyObject) {
    let optionMenu = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: "Choose Option", preferredStyle: .actionSheet) 

    let saveAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Save", style: .default, handler: {
        (alert: UIAlertAction!) -> Void in
        println("Saved")
    })
    
    let deleteAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Delete", style: .default, handler: {
        (alert: UIAlertAction!) -> Void in
        println("Deleted")
    })
    
    let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel, handler: {
        (alert: UIAlertAction!) -> Void in
        println("Cancelled")
    })
    optionMenu.addAction(deleteAction)
    optionMenu.addAction(saveAction)
    optionMenu.addAction(cancelAction)
    self.presentViewController(optionMenu, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

Solution 1

Your Approach is fine, but you can add UIActionSheet with other way with ease.

You can add UIActionSheetDelegate in UIViewController` like

class ViewController: UIViewController ,UIActionSheetDelegate

Set you method like,

@IBAction func downloadSheet(sender: AnyObject)
{

    let actionSheet = UIActionSheet(title: "Choose Option", delegate: self, cancelButtonTitle: "Cancel", destructiveButtonTitle: nil, otherButtonTitles: "Save", "Delete")

    actionSheet.showInView(self.view)
}

You can get your button index when it clicked like

func actionSheet(actionSheet: UIActionSheet, clickedButtonAtIndex buttonIndex: Int)
{
    println("\(buttonIndex)")
    switch (buttonIndex){

    case 0:
        println("Cancel")
    case 1:
        println("Save")
    case 2:
        println("Delete")
    default:
        println("Default")
        //Some code here..

    }
}

Update 1: for iOS8+

    //Create the AlertController and add Its action like button in Actionsheet
    let actionSheetControllerIOS8: UIAlertController = UIAlertController(title: "Please select", message: "Option to select", preferredStyle: .ActionSheet)

    let cancelActionButton = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel) { _ in
        print("Cancel")
    }
    actionSheetControllerIOS8.addAction(cancelActionButton)

    let saveActionButton = UIAlertAction(title: "Save", style: .default)
        { _ in
           print("Save")
    }
    actionSheetControllerIOS8.addAction(saveActionButton)

    let deleteActionButton = UIAlertAction(title: "Delete", style: .default)
        { _ in
            print("Delete")
    }
    actionSheetControllerIOS8.addAction(deleteActionButton)
    self.present(actionSheetControllerIOS8, animated: true, completion: nil)

Solution 2

Updated for Swift 4/5

Works for iOS 11-14

Some of the other answers are okay but I ended up mixing and matching a few of them to rather come up with this :

@IBAction func showAlert(sender: AnyObject) {
    let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Title", message: "Please Select an Option", preferredStyle: .actionSheet)
    
    alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Approve", style: .default , handler:{ (UIAlertAction)in
        print("User click Approve button")
    }))
    
    alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Edit", style: .default , handler:{ (UIAlertAction)in
        print("User click Edit button")
    }))

    alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Delete", style: .destructive , handler:{ (UIAlertAction)in
        print("User click Delete button")
    }))
    
    alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Dismiss", style: .cancel, handler:{ (UIAlertAction)in
        print("User click Dismiss button")
    }))

    
    //uncomment for iPad Support
    //alert.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = self.view

    self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: {
        print("completion block")
    })
}

Enjoy :)

Solution 3

UIActionSheet is deprecated in iOS 8.

I am using following:

// Create the AlertController
let actionSheetController = UIAlertController(title: "Please select", message: "How you would like to utilize the app?", preferredStyle: .ActionSheet)

// Create and add the Cancel action
let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .Cancel) { action -> Void in
    // Just dismiss the action sheet
}
actionSheetController.addAction(cancelAction)

// Create and add first option action
let takePictureAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Consumer", style: .Default) { action -> Void in
    self.performSegueWithIdentifier("segue_setup_customer", sender: self)
}
actionSheetController.addAction(takePictureAction)

// Create and add a second option action
let choosePictureAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Service provider", style: .Default) { action -> Void in
    self.performSegueWithIdentifier("segue_setup_provider", sender: self)
}
actionSheetController.addAction(choosePictureAction)

// We need to provide a popover sourceView when using it on iPad
actionSheetController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = sender as UIView

// Present the AlertController
self.presentViewController(actionSheetController, animated: true, completion: nil)

Solution 4

Updated for Swift 3.x, Swift 4.x, Swift 5.x

// create an actionSheet
let actionSheetController: UIAlertController = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: nil, preferredStyle: .actionSheet)

// create an action
let firstAction: UIAlertAction = UIAlertAction(title: "First Action", style: .default) { action -> Void in

    print("First Action pressed")
}

let secondAction: UIAlertAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Second Action", style: .default) { action -> Void in

    print("Second Action pressed")
}

let cancelAction: UIAlertAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel) { action -> Void in }

// add actions
actionSheetController.addAction(firstAction)
actionSheetController.addAction(secondAction)
actionSheetController.addAction(cancelAction)


// present an actionSheet...
// present(actionSheetController, animated: true, completion: nil)   // doesn't work for iPad

actionSheetController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = yourSourceViewName // works for both iPhone & iPad

present(actionSheetController, animated: true) {
    print("option menu presented")
}

Solution 5

Update for Swift 3:

// Create the AlertController and add its actions like button in ActionSheet
let actionSheetController = UIAlertController(title: "Please select", message: "Option to select", preferredStyle: .actionSheet)

let cancelActionButton = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel) { action -> Void in
    print("Cancel")
}
actionSheetController.addAction(cancelActionButton)

let saveActionButton = UIAlertAction(title: "Save", style: .default) { action -> Void in
    print("Save")
}
actionSheetController.addAction(saveActionButton)

let deleteActionButton = UIAlertAction(title: "Delete", style: .default) { action -> Void in
    print("Delete")
}
actionSheetController.addAction(deleteActionButton)
self.present(actionSheetController, animated: true, completion: nil)

I think your approach is good, because from ios8 UIActionSheet is deprecated. So your style is preferred.

[Saleh Masum]

UIActionSheet is deprecated in iOS 8. (Note that UIActionSheetDelegate is also deprecated.) To create and manage action sheets in iOS 8 and later, instead use UIAlertController with a preferredStyle of UIAlertControllerStyleActionSheet. see detail : developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documentation/UIK‌​it/…

What should the configurationTextField be?

[Anny]

Here what you find : func configurationTextField(textField: UITextField!) { print("configurat hire the TextField") if textField != nil { self.textField = textField! self.textField.delegate = self //Save reference to the UITextField self.textField.text = "" self.textField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardType.NumberPad self.textField.placeholder = "Enter delay time in seconds" } }

[X.Creates]

both title: String? and message: String? can be optional

[candyline]

Thank you for the screenshot as well. If you want RED text just change the style to .destructive

@kuzdu - this works great, however crashes on ipad. can you update your answer for ipad ( setting sourceview and sourcerect) solves the problem

[kuzdu]

Could you please post the code which I should update? Or update my answer and I will accept
