UIActionSheet deprecated on iOS8 [duplicate]

Question

I want to use UIActionSheet for iOS8 but it's deprecated and I don't know how to use the updated way to use this...

See the old code:

-(void)acoesDoController:(UIViewController *)controller{
    self.controller = controller;
    UIActionSheet *opcoes = [[UIActionSheet alloc]initWithTitle:self.contato.nome delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" destructiveButtonTitle:@"Delete" otherButtonTitles:@"other", nil];

    [opcoes showInView:controller.view];
}

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

    //switch case of the buttons

}

Just to make clear, in this example the action sheet is activated after a long press in an UITableView index.

How can I implement the code above in the properly way?

For future reference, if you look at the documentation for UIActionSheet it's clearly marked as being deprecated as of iOS8, and it even tells you what the replacement class is. And when you go to the documentation of UIAlertController it even gives you an example of how to use it. Learning to read the documentation is a vital first step to improvement. – Ortrud

Thanks for the hint! I'm still beginnig with objective-c. – Tevis

You can use UIAlertController for the same.

UIAlertController *actionSheet = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:@"Action Sheet" message:@"alert controller" preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleActionSheet];
    
        [actionSheet addAction:[UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:@"Cancel" style:UIAlertActionStyleCancel handler:^(UIAlertAction *action) {
    
            // Cancel button tappped.
            [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{
            }];
        }]];
    
        [actionSheet addAction:[UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:@"Delete" style:UIAlertActionStyleDestructive handler:^(UIAlertAction *action) {
    
            // Distructive button tapped.
            [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{
            }];
        }]];
    
        [actionSheet addAction:[UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:@"Other" style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault handler:^(UIAlertAction *action) {
    
            // OK button tapped.
    
            [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{
            }];
        }]];
    // Present action sheet.
    [self presentViewController:actionSheet animated:YES completion:nil];

Note : Please Find the answer in Swift as well.

var actionSheet = UIAlertController(title: "Action Sheet", message: "alert controller", preferredStyle: .actionSheet)

actionSheet.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel, handler: { action in
    
    // Cancel button tappped.
    self.dismiss(animated: true) {
    }
}))

actionSheet.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Delete", style: .destructive, handler: { action in
    
    // Distructive button tapped.
    self.dismiss(animated: true) {
    }
}))

actionSheet.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Other", style: .default, handler: { action in
    
    // OK button tapped.
    
    self.dismiss(animated: true) {
    }
}))
// Present action sheet.
present(actionSheet, animated: true)

// Answer for SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var showingOptions = false
    @State private var selection = "None"

    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Text(selection)

            Button("Confirm paint color") {
                showingOptions = true
            }
            .confirmationDialog("Select a color", isPresented: $showingOptions, titleVisibility: .visible) {
                Button("Red") {
                    selection = "Red"
                }

                Button("Green") {
                    selection = "Green"
                }

                Button("Blue") {
                    selection = "Blue"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

The Xcode is showing that every method " [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{ }]; " is not declarated in @interfaces... How can I fix it?... Same happening for " [self presentViewController:actionSheet animated:YES completion:nil]; " – Tevis

Can You share Your updated Code? – Fart

I already solved it, thanks. I was trying to implement this in a class different than the tableView. I moved the code and everything worked properly... but... Is it possible to created another class for this method? If you still need I can share my code. – Tevis

remove [self presentViewController:actionSheet animated:YES completion:nil]; UIAlertController will dissmis automatically after handler get called – Zabaglione

@nova,I removed this line and no actionsheet show? – Cline

thank you removing that line was all i meant. :) – Zabaglione

@Cline i mean no need to dismiss manually .it will do it after executing completion block – Zabaglione
