angular - Ionic2 Ion-select without OK and Cancel

Question

I have built an Ionic2 app and I am currently trying to improve the UX. To do that, I received some feedback that made me think of whether there is a way of having a

    <ion-select>
      <ion-option>
      </ion-option>
    </ion-select>

which upon tapped on, would give me the output straight away and not wait for the user to press on the currently appearing 'OK'and 'CANCEL' buttons that the ionic action sheet(http://ionicframework.com/docs/v2/api/components/select/Select/) uses by default.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! :)

EDIT:

As @sebaferrreras has suggested,

If the number of options exceed 6, it will use the alert interface even if action-sheet is passed.

So if you need to use more than 6 options, you are going to have to find a workaround as for the moment, this functionality is NOT listed under the Ionic2 docs.

Answer 1

Changing the API used in the select element (by using the ActionSheet API) could be an option.

In order to do that, you only need to add interface="action-sheet" in the ion-select element.

  <ion-item>
    <ion-label>Gender</ion-label>
    <ion-select interface="action-sheet">
      <ion-option value="f" selected="true">Female</ion-option>
      <ion-option value="m">Male</ion-option>
    </ion-select>
  </ion-item>

I'm not sure if that's a valid option (in terms of UX) in your app.

Just like you can find in Ionic 2 docs

If the number of options exceed 6, it will use the alert interface even if action-sheet is passed.
