How to build a context menu like Facebook / Slack on iOS?

I was just looking at Context menu of Facebook and or slack and wanted to create something similar in my App.



I have tried two methods.



First method. Having a in View Table View and sliding it from bottom to create as if it is animated on to the view. But the problem with this is that The navigation controller and Tab bar controller are not hidden and a white patch is shown over the Black (Alpha 30 %).



enter image description here



The second method I tried was showing a new View controller over the current view controller and presenting as a Modal presentation.



  let vc = CustomActionTableViewController(nibName: "CustomActionTableViewController", bundle: nil)
vc.modalPresentationStyle = .overFullScreen
self.present(vc, animated: false, completion: nil)


This works okay but the method is too slow as I have to work with lot of Notifications (To send selected index to my main View and then perform action). It is painfully slow.



Could anyone help me with how I can improve the implementation so that I can get the Action sheet similar to Facebook which is smooth and very very fluid

  • in your first method why don't you hide navigation and tabbar when tableView appears and unhide it again when didSelect occur or tableView hides ?

  • I think it will be a batter option for you. With less effort and more faster than 2nd one.

  • I thought of it but i need the navigation bar to show up as i am using large tiles. So if i hide it large portion at the top will be hidden and it will look weird.
