Creating iPhone Pop-up Menu Similar to Mail App Menu

Creating an Action Sheet in Swift

Code has been tested with Swift 5

Since iOS 8, UIAlertController combined with UIAlertControllerStyle.ActionSheet is used. UIActionSheet is deprecated.

Here is the code to produce the Action Sheet in the above image:

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    
    @IBOutlet weak var showActionSheetButton: UIButton!
    
    @IBAction func showActionSheetButtonTapped(sender: UIButton) {
        
        // Create the action sheet
        let myActionSheet = UIAlertController(title: "Color", message: "What color would you like?", preferredStyle: UIAlertController.Style.actionSheet)
        
        // blue action button
        let blueAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Blue", style: UIAlertAction.Style.default) { (action) in
            print("Blue action button tapped")
        }
        
        // red action button
        let redAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Red", style: UIAlertAction.Style.default) { (action) in
            print("Red action button tapped")
        }
        
        // yellow action button
        let yellowAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Yellow", style: UIAlertAction.Style.default) { (action) in
            print("Yellow action button tapped")
        }
        
        // cancel action button
        let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: UIAlertAction.Style.cancel) { (action) in
            print("Cancel action button tapped")
        }
        
        // add action buttons to action sheet
        myActionSheet.addAction(blueAction)
        myActionSheet.addAction(redAction)
        myActionSheet.addAction(yellowAction)
        myActionSheet.addAction(cancelAction)
        
        // present the action sheet
        self.present(myActionSheet, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

• UIActionSheet example in Swift (Contrary to the name, it actually does use the new UIAlertController action sheet rather than UIActionSheet.)

Check out the UICatalog example on Apple's website. The "Alerts" section has examples of how to use UIActionSheet to accomplish what you're trying to do.

You need to use a UIActionSheet.

First you need to add UIActionSheetDelegate to your ViewController .h file.

Then you can reference an actionsheet with:

  UIActionSheet *popup = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:@"Select Sharing option:" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:
                        @"Share on Facebook",
                        @"Share on Twitter",
                        @"Share via E-mail",
                        @"Save to Camera Roll",
                        @"Rate this App",
                        nil];
   popup.tag = 1;
  [popup showInView:self.view];

Then you have to handle each of the calls.

- (void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)popup clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {

  switch (popup.tag) {
    case 1: {
        switch (buttonIndex) {
            case 0:
                [self FBShare];
                break;
            case 1:
                [self TwitterShare];
                break;
            case 2:
                [self emailContent];
                break;
            case 3:
                [self saveContent];
                break;
            case 4:
                [self rateAppYes];
                break;
            default:
                break;
        }
        break;
    }
    default:
        break;
 }
}

This has been deprecated as of iOS 8.x.

It is a UIAlertController on iOS 8+, and a UIActionSheet on earlier versions.
