[ios] Add UIPickerView & a Button in Action sheet - How?

I liked the approach taken by Wayfarer and flexaddicted, but found (like aZtral) that it did not work as the backgroundTapButton was the only element that was responding to user interaction. This led me to put all three of his subviews: _picker, _pickerToolbar and backgroundTapButton inside a containing view (popup) which was then animated on and off the screen. I also needed a Cancel button on the _pickerToolbar. Here are the relevant code elements for the popup view (you need to supply your own picker data source and delegate methods).

#define DURATION            0.4
#define PICKERHEIGHT        162.0
#define TOOLBARHEIGHT       44.0

@interface ViewController ()
@property (nonatomic, strong) UIView        *popup;
@property (nonatomic, strong) UIPickerView  *picker;
@property (nonatomic, strong) UIToolbar     *pickerToolbar;
@property (nonatomic, strong) UIButton      *backgroundTapButton;
@end

-(void)viewDidLoad {
    // These are ivars for convenience
    rect = self.view.bounds;
    topNavHeight = self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame.size.height;
    bottomNavHeight = self.navigationController.toolbar.frame.size.height;
    navHeights = topNavHeight + bottomNavHeight;
}

-(void)showPickerView:(id)sender {
    [self createPicker];
    [self createToolbar];

    // create view container
    _popup = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, topNavHeight, rect.size.width, rect.size.height - navHeights)];
    // Initially put the centre off the bottom of the screen
    _popup.center = CGPointMake(rect.size.width / 2.0, rect.size.height + _popup.frame.size.height / 2.0);
    [_popup addSubview:_picker];
    [_popup insertSubview:_pickerToolbar aboveSubview:_picker];

    // Animate it moving up
    // This seems to work though I am not sure why I need to take off the topNavHeight
    CGFloat vertCentre = (_popup.frame.size.height - topNavHeight) / 2.0;

    [UIView animateWithDuration:DURATION animations:^{
        // move it to a new point in the middle of the screen
        [_popup setCenter:CGPointMake(rect.size.width / 2.0, vertCentre)];
    } completion:^(BOOL finished) {
        // When done, place an invisible 'button' on the view behind the picker,
        // so if the user "taps to dismiss" the picker, it will go away
        self.backgroundTapButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
        _backgroundTapButton.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, _popup.frame.size.width, _popup.frame.size.height);
        [_backgroundTapButton addTarget:self action:@selector(doneAction:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
        [_popup insertSubview:_backgroundTapButton belowSubview:_picker];
        [self.view addSubview:_popup];
    }];
}

-(void)createPicker {
    // To use the default UIPickerView frame of 216px set frame to CGRectZero, but we want the 162px height one
    CGFloat     pickerStartY = rect.size.height - navHeights - PICKERHEIGHT;
    self.picker = [[UIPickerView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, pickerStartY, rect.size.width, PICKERHEIGHT)];
    _picker.dataSource = self;
    _picker.delegate = self;
    _picker.showsSelectionIndicator = YES;
    // Otherwise you can see the view underneath the picker
    _picker.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    _picker.alpha = 1.0f;
}

-(void)createToolbar {
    CGFloat     toolbarStartY = rect.size.height - navHeights - PICKERHEIGHT - TOOLBARHEIGHT;
    _pickerToolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, toolbarStartY, rect.size.width, TOOLBARHEIGHT)];
    [_pickerToolbar sizeToFit];

    NSMutableArray *barItems = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
    UIBarButtonItem *cancelButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemCancel target:self action:@selector(cancelAction:)];
    [barItems addObject:cancelButton];

    // Flexible space to make the done button go on the right
    UIBarButtonItem *flexSpace = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:self action:nil];
    [barItems addObject:flexSpace];

    // The done button
    UIBarButtonItem *doneButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemDone target:self action:@selector(doneAction:)];
    [barItems addObject:doneButton];
    [_pickerToolbar setItems:barItems animated:YES];
}

// The method to process the picker, if we have hit done button
- (void)doneAction:(id)sender {
    [UIView animateWithDuration:DURATION animations:^{
        _popup.center = CGPointMake(rect.size.width / 2.0, rect.size.height + _popup.frame.size.height / 2.0);
    } completion:^(BOOL finished) { [self destroyPopup]; }];
    // Do something to process the returned value from your picker
}

// The method to process the picker, if we have hit cancel button
- (void)cancelAction:(id)sender {
    [UIView animateWithDuration:DURATION animations:^{
