Hi all,
My app Beru has a main screen that features a list that can be sorted
in several different ways. The sorting UI consists of a Sort toolitem
that opens a popover with three different sorts to choose from. When
the toolitems were in a toolbar, this worked fine. When they got moved
to the header, the popover no longer points to the correct spot. When
I reported this on Launchpad [1], I was told,
Popovers pointing to buttons in the new header is not supported.
Design recommends to use a pagestack in those cases. For specific
needs of an app, please talk to designers for a solution
Is this true? Tabs are currently handled with a popover pointing to a
button in the header, so it seems odd not to allow this mechanism for
other buttons. I don't understand how I'm supposed to solve this with
a pagestack. Am I really supposed to create a new page to hold a
single option? What solution does the design team suggest?
For what it's worth, I'm currently faking the pointer by putting a
rectangle behind where I know the header item will be and pointing to
that. It looks and works just fine [2].
Thanks,
Robert
