UIActionSheet Dismiss when click/ tap outside

Question

I'm novice in iPhone development. Can anyone tell me how to dismiss UIActionSheet control when i tapped outside of it?

In my actionSheet i have only datePicker control and it pops up over tab bar control now what i want whenever user click outside of it, it should dismiss instead of using actionSheet's cancel button. Regards

An even more simpler solution would be to just add a Cancel button. This will automatically enable tap-background-to-dismiss: (Swift)

alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel",
                                        style: .cancel,
                                        handler: nil))

Solution 3

Try this magic:

    UITapGestureRecognizer *tap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(tapOut:)];
    tap.cancelsTouchesInView = NO;
    [actionSheet.window addGestureRecognizer:tap];
    [tap release];

And this method:

-(void)tapOut:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer {
    CGPoint p = [gestureRecognizer locationInView:self.actionSheet];
    if (p.y < 0) {
        [self actionPickerDone:nil];
    }
}

In SwiftUI, when using ActionSheet adding an Alert.Button.Cancel achieves the desired result:

@State var isShowingActionSheet: Bool = false
@State var isShowingCamera: Bool = false

.actionSheet(isPresented: $isShowingActionSheet) {
    ActionSheet(
        title: Text("Send an image"),
        buttons: [
            .default(Text("Camera")) {
                isShowingCamera = true
            },
            // This enables the "tap anywhere outside of the action sheet to dismiss it" behavior 
            .cancel()
        ]
    )
}

even in iOS6, the delegate will not be called with a button index of -1 if clicked outside the action sheet. the documentation mentions that a button index of -1 will be passed if the cancel button index is not set.
