Is there a design pattern for dropdown lists in iOS?


I've searched quite a bit for this but surprisingly could not find any comprehensive answer. XCode doesn't provide any simple way to add dropdown lists to iOS interfaces. Stackoverflow just showed workarounds and long code just to get a simple dropdown list. This leads me to believe that the design pattern is to not really use dropdown lists! Is this true? And if so, what is the recommended alternative?



Answer



iOS makes it much easier to use "Pickers". These may work depending on what you need the "Dropdown" to do. See new link https://developer.apple.com/ios/human-interface-guidelines/controls/pickers/
