How to display a popover when user touches and holds a segment in segmented control (iOS)

Question

I need to display a popover with additional options when a user touches (and holds) a segment in UISegmentedControl. How do I:

• detect the hold "gesture" on the segmented control.
• Display the popover with additional options on top of the selected segment

Thanks!

Answer 1

1. You would need to create a View with those "Options" you want manually. Or you could use third party library such as this

2. Add a UILongPressGestureRecognizer to your UIView

3. Get the position of the touch location and show the popover
