    <p>It's a great question that I lose sleep over.</p> <p><em><strong>I have come to believe a UIPopover is in fact best.</em></strong></p> <p>Exactly as you say in some cases <strong><em>"there is nothing the popover would point to"</em></strong>...sometimes that is the problem.</p> <p>I believe if you push a bit, there is usually SOMETHING that it makes just a little sense for it to point to. After all, it must relate to something the user has pushed (come from that point) or to some aspect of computers (if it's got something to do with networking or a user account, come off a networking icon or button).</p> <p>In one case we <strong><em>made a small relevant icon appear</em></strong>, for the sole reason that the popover had something to point to!</p> <p>You probably agree that everything about the popover, is absolutely perfect for the job. The only issue is that sometimes it feels like "where should it emit from?"</p> <p>I feel the correct solution is just to think harder to find SOMETHING that is reasonable for it to emit from. I mean it could be just the logo of the app, or surely one of your buttons on screen. As long as it makes <strong><em>even just a little sense</em></strong>, the user will interpret it with no problems. (FWIW IMO your mind does not much process the arrow-thing on popovers ... it's very ancillary.)</p> <p>IMO that is the best answer. You have to workaround the annoying "sometimes not much emission point for the popover" because once you do go to a popover, everything is absolutely perfect and wonderful, like in a heaven.</p> <p>It is a great question. The fact is Apple should add a <strong><em>"pointless popover"</em></strong> for just this situation!</p> <p>An immediate solution to let you get on with it is make a small relevant icon appear for the sole purpose of giving the popover something to point to!</p>

    1. COJoe,thanks! It's good to know I'm not the only one who couldn't figure out a clean way to do this. I was beginning to think maybe the question was so dumb nobody responded. Kind of surprising Apple doesn't provide such simple capability. I do have an icon I can attach to this but it's at the bottom of the screen and the popover moves up from the icon when the keyboard comes up which totally loses the context. In the end I can live with this.

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.
