Showing View controller as a pop up- iOS8

Question

I have a series of buttons placed horizontally (say 5 in number) on top in my first View Controller. When I click on one of the five buttons , another view from a different controller (say Second View Controller ) should appear.

SecondViewController *controller = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"SecondVC"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];

But this covers entire First View. Is there a way so that my second view appears as a pop up with the series of buttons still visible and working?

ios8 only or do you need to support previous versions too? iPhone or iPad or both? — Paulw11, Oct 21 '14 at 04:25
The you can use the new `present as popover` adaptive segue - See this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24635744/how-to-present-popover-properly-in-ios-8 — Paulw11, Oct 21 '14 at 04:29
The language doesn't matter. You need to implement that method in order to get a popover style, not a fullscreen presentation. — Paulw11, Oct 21 '14 at 04:37

If you are trying to show the viewcontroller without covering the whole screen try adding it as subview to the view controller.

  SecondViewController *controller = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"SecondVC"];
controller.view.frame=CGRectMake(50,50,100,100);
[self.view addSubview:controller.view];
