create a menu drop down menu from button in a table view

Question

I have a UITableViewController that is correctly configured and running. let's say the class of this controller is called : tableViewController. On this table, i have a UIBarButton present on the left of the view created like this :

UIBarButtonItem *userProfile = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Profile" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:@selector(userProfileGo:)];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = userProfile;
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem.tintColor = [UIColor whiteColor];

I already created another view controller called userProfileViewController, in which the user can access their profile, it is already configured and pushed on userProfileGo this way :

 [self performSegueWithIdentifier: @"userProfile" sender: self];

What i want to do , is show up the user profile ViewController when clicked over the tableViewController as a small window

this picture represents my goal :

Is there any possible way to do that ?

How about using a slide controller instead ?? Becomes easier to handle .. — NKB, Apr 23 '14 at 12:42
+1 to REMenu I have used it and is pretty similar to what you're trying to do. — Barbara R, Apr 23 '14 at 12:51
or use a popoverViewController on the UIButton. this isn't windows, no one wants to see drop downs on their iphones. — John Riselvato, Apr 23 '14 at 14:54

I had the same idea in mind, but relating to the low performance it had and iOS users weren't comfortable with it, I started looking for new ideas and I found this library on GitHub

JASidePanels

which looks like this:

This is not related to the answer, but it's just a suggestion I wanted to give to you.

I hope it helps you

You Can use UIPopoverController+iPhone.h for any PopOverView in iPhone also (or) like a dropdown menuView from UIBarButtonItem Ref answer from :UIPopoverController for iphone not working?

also if you need like Sliding Menu means you can use SWRevealViewController Ref : https://github.com/John-Lluch/SWRevealViewController

also you can Refer : https://www.cocoacontrols.com/controls/mlppopupmenu

Also you can call Instance of That menuViewController and add view of that ViewController like [self.View addSubView:menuViewController.View]; by setting the frame with Origin.

Let me know once if it worked or any Queries.
