I am currently developing an application which needs an option to 'share' using multiple services; such as email, twitter.

To to this, I have a UIBarButtonItem coded in and when touched, it triggers this:

UIActionSheet *sheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] 
                            initWithTitle:@""
                            delegate:self
                            cancelButtonTitle:nil
                            destructiveButtonTitle:nil
                            otherButtonTitles:nil];

    [sheet addButtonWithTitle:@"Email"];
    [sheet addButtonWithTitle:@"Tweet"];
    [sheet addButtonWithTitle:@"Cancel"];

    sheet.cancelButtonIndex = sheet.numberOfButtons-1;

    [sheet showFromRect:self.view.bounds inView:self.view animated:YES];
    [sheet release];

In conjunction with this to detect which button is selected:

clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
    if (buttonIndex == actionSheet.cancelButtonIndex) { return; }
    switch (buttonIndex) {
        case 0:
        {

            [self emailThis];
            break;
        }
        case 1:
        {
            [self tweetThis];
            break;
        }
    }

This works a treat on the iPhone. But unfortunately it displays incorrectly on the iPad. It looks like it is trying to display the UIPopoverController, but it is positioned center of the navbar with practically no height.

I have looked into using the UIPopoverController, but I cannot seem to find out how to use it with buttons. Is there anyway I can adapt the code above to properly display the buttons, as it's trying to already.

Many thanks,

Ryan

PS: I'm new to objective-c/iOS coding, so please be specific. Thank you :)
