    <p>I have a <code>UIActivity</code> subclass that creates its own <code>activityViewController</code>:</p> <pre><code>- (UIViewController *)activityViewController { WSLInProgressViewController* progressView = [[[WSLInProgressViewController alloc] init] autorelease]; progressView.message = [NSString stringWithFormat:NSLocalizedString(@"Posting to %@...",@"Posting to..."), self.activityType]; return progressView; } </code></pre> <p>I've add a full <a href="https://github.com/sdarlington/ActivityViewContollerBug">repro on GitHub</a>.</p> <hr> <p>According to the documentation, you aren't supposed to dismiss this manually. Instead, the OS does that when you call <code>activityDidFinish:</code>. This works fine when ran on an iPhone.</p> <p>When I say "works," this is the sequence of events that I'm expecting (and see on the iPhone): </p> <ol> <li>Display the <code>UIActivityViewController</code> </li> <li>User presses my custom activity</li> <li>My view controller appears </li> <li>I call <code>activityDidFinish:</code> </li> <li>My custom view controller is dismissed </li> <li>The <code>UIActivityViewController</code> is also dismissed</li> </ol> <p>However, when I run this same code on the iPad Simulator -- the only difference being that I put the <code>UIActivityViewController</code> in a popup, as the documentation says you should -- the <code>activityViewController</code> never dismisses.</p> <p>As I say, this is <em>code wo/the popUP</em> works on the iPhone and I have stepped through the code so I know that <code>activityDidFinish:</code> is getting called.</p> <p>I found this Radar talking about the <a href="http://openradar.appspot.com/12034500">same problem in <code>iOS6</code> beta 3</a>, but it seems such fundamental functionality that I suspect a bug in my code rather than OS (also note that it works correctly with the Twitter and Facebook functionality!).</p> <hr> <p>Am I missing something? Do I need to do something special in the activityViewController when it's run in a <code>UIPopoverViewController</code>? Is the "flow" <em>supposed</em> to be different on the iPad?</p>

    1. COHow are you dismissing the UIPopoverViewController? From past experience you need to dismiss the popover itself explicitly by calling [myPopoverControler dismissPopoverAnimated];

    2. CODid you come up with a solution for this? It appears to be a serious bug. Basically it means that a custom UIActivity that implements `activityViewController` is useless on iPad.

    3. CO@matt The accepted answer below is the best I've seen. I raised Radar 12545554 for the "not dismissing" bug and 12545600 for "is appearing modally." Please dupe if you get the chance. They're both still open. For my app I ended up not using `activityViewController`.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
