For a specific server notification I am supposed to show an UIActionSheet. But problem here is when that event comes, at the same time if any UIAlertView already showing on any view controller, it make the UIActionSheet disabled( After pressed ok for alert view I am not able to select anything on view controller , view got disabled because of UIActionSheet). Anyone faced this kind of problem, Any idea how to solve it?
I have tried by dismissing alert view before showing action sheet, however which alert view do I need to dismiss as I have many alert view in many controller. All are local to that controllers. How to solve this problem.
Note:
Same problem won't come for iPod, as it wont allow to click ok before responding to UIActionSheet.
Take a Global Alert view named it as activeAlertView. Now when you show a alert view please check that alert view and then show and assign. Like
declare a property in .h and synthesize it
#property (nonatomic, retain) UIAlertView *activeAlertView;
then use the below code when try to show an alert.
if(self.activeAlertView){
[self.activeAlertView dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:0 animated:YES];
}
UIAlertView *localAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Title" message:#"Your message" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"cancel" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil ];
[localAlert show];
self.activeAlertView = localAlert;
[localAlert release];
this way your activeAlertview will keep the current aler view's reference and before show the actionSheet dismiss the alert view.
For Identified which alert-view you must set Tag or alert-view.
Ex:-
alertviewName.tag=1;
Then you can check is there alert-view Open in Particular view-controller sub-views use bellow code like:-
- (BOOL) doesAlertViewExist {
for (UIView* view in yuorviewcontroller.view.subviews) {
BOOL alert = [view isKindOfClass:[UIAlertView class]];
if (alert)
{
return YES;
}
}
return NO;
}
After this method called you get BOOL value YES or NO If Yes then dismiss it using UIAlertview's Delegate:-
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex;
and put your Actionsheet appear code into didDismissWithButtonIndex method.
When the message comes, first check if there is an alert view.
Show the action sheet after the alert view is dismissed. In didDismiss... you can check a BOOL flag if you now have to show the action sheet or not.
In this case, you should use
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
method rather than,
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
so your code wil be:
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
if (buttonIndex == 0)
{
UIActionSheet *actionSheet = ...
[actionSheet showFromTabBar:self.tabBarController.tabBar];
}
}
Thanks
try this:
for (UIWindow* w in [UIApplication sharedApplication].windows)
{
for (NSObject* obj in w.subviews)
{
if ([obj isKindOfClass:[UIAlertView class]])
{
[(UIAlertView*)obj dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:[(UIAlertView*)obj
cancelButtonIndex] animated:YES];
}
}
}

I got a push segue connected in storyboards and then I'm using the prepareForSegue method like this:
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:#"start"] && self.name.textField.text == nil)
{
UIAlertView *message = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Test"
message:#"Test
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK"
otherButtonTitles:nil];
[message show];
}
}
What I want to do is that if the "if" is true, there pops an alert box and preforms the segue, but I just want to show the alert box, and I don't want to preform the segue. How can I solve this?
prepareForSegue:sender: is called when the segue is about to be performed. You cannot cancel it at that point.
The method you should be overriding if you want to be able to cancel a segue is shouldPerformSegueWithIdentifier:sender:.
I think you need to reevaluate your logic here and remove the conditional from prepareForSegue
Using UIAlertDelegate
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
NSString *title = [alertView buttonTitleAtIndex:buttonIndex];
if([title isEqualToString:#"OK"]) {
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"My Segue" sender:self];
return;
} // else do not perform segue
}
I dont think you can stop from at this point.
But you can use
- (BOOL)shouldPerformSegueWithIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier sender:(id)sender from iOS 6.
Try giving your segue a different name and only call that segue (e.g. "[self performSegueWithIdentifier: #"MyRealStartSegue" sender: sender]") if the alert is not displaying.
Of course this means you need to check these conditions outside of the "prepareForSegue" method. Perhaps an IBAction when some button is pressed?
When popping a view I want to save some data, by asking confirmation. I'm asking confirmation using UIActionSheet. But irrespective of my response in action sheet, the view is changing in background, it creates some problem for me to use the response. I'm using navigation controller to switch views. How can I solve this
TIA
Better option is to use uialertview for asking confirmation.To do this follow this step:
Insure your header file contains the following:
#interface YourViewController : UIViewController <UIAlertViewDelegate>
Now when asked confirmation add this code:
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Message" message:#"Are You Sure" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"YES" otherButtonTitles:#"NO", nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
Now after pressing one button below delegate will be called so add in .m file of app
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
// the user clicked one of the YES/NO buttons
if (buttonIndex == 0)
{
NSLog(#"NO button pressed");
}
else
{
//Save data here
NSLog(#"YES button pressed");
}
}
#PooLas If I understood you correctly, You use uiactionsheet for user confirmation, while in background (actually under actionsheet) you change view controllers. Well, you can't do that, because delegate must be attached to controller which shows it up (if i am wrong, correct me). So when you click button, you can only first dismiss actionsheet and then change view controller, but not opposite – PooLaS
I added a tabbar controller on MainWindow.xib which is displaying 5 tabs and have the tab bar controller's delegate method: shouldSelectViewController in my app delegate which returns boolean value (YES or NO).
In this delegate method, I am showing an alert to the user (if user is going from tab 1 to any other tab). This alert contains 2 buttons: OK and Cancel.
If user clicks on OK, then I want the delegate method to return YES (so that user can go to other tabs) and if user has selected Cancel (in case he wants to stay on tab 1 only), then I want the method to return NO.
So, basically i want the shouldSelectViewController method to stop executing till the time alert is present on screen. Is there any way I can return a BOOL from my alert view's delegate method which may, in turn, be returned by shouldSelectViewController OR any threading solution which may be of use for this situation??
try this
in .h
UIViewController *tmpController;
in .m
-(BOOL)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController shouldSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController {
tmpController = viewController;
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Title" message:#"Message" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:#"OK", nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
return NO;
}
-(void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
if (buttonIndex) {
self.tabBarController.selectedViewController = tmpController;
}
}
I'm having some trouble with either a UIAlertView or UIActionSheet stealing the focus and not letting go.
To elaborate, I have a setup whereby a user presses a button. This then displays a UIAlertView with a UITextField. When the user presses the 'Ok' button a UIActionSheet is displayed (called from the UIAlertView delegate method) confirming something with the user. However when they press one of the buttons the UIActionSheet goes away but the focus doesn't get returned to the main view.
I have been playing around and whatever I seem to do I always end up with my main UIView being covered with a layer like this (obviously you can seem my view through the layer). I have tried removing all subviews of the view but it didn't have any success.
Please can someone help me out?
Here is the source code:
// This method displays the UIAlertView which contains a UITextView linked up to a
// UIPickerView.
- (IBAction)buttonPressed:(id)sender
{
UIAlertView *deleteAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Delete Something"
message:#"Select something to delete:"
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel"
otherButtonTitles:#"Ok", nil];
deleteAlert.alertViewStyle = UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput;
deleteAlert.tag = kDeleteAlert;
deleteTextField = [deleteAlert textFieldAtIndex:0];
[pickerView reloadAllComponents];
deleteTextField.inputView = pickerView;
[deleteAlert show];
}
// The UIAlertView delegate method is then used to display a UIActionSheet to confirm
// whether the user wants to proceed.
- (void) alertView:(UIAlertView *)alert clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
UIActionSheet *confirmDelete = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:#"Delete blah?"
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"No"
destructiveButtonTitle:#"Yes"
otherButtonTitles:nil];
confirmDelete.actionSheetStyle = UIActionSheetStyleBlackOpaque;
[confirmDelete showInView:self.parentViewController.tabBarController.view];
}
// Then the focus should be returned to the original view (i.e. where the first button
// was pressed to launch the UIAlertView. However the focus is still locked and the
// view appears slightly dimmed around the edges.
-(void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
if (buttonIndex == actionSheet.destructiveButtonIndex)
{
// Do some stuff ...
}
}
I think your issue is a result of the deleteAlert alert view not being dismissed when the actionSheet is called.
I sounds to me like the alert view still has focus but is in an unknown state, because it hasn't been dismissed, but you have done something with it's button press.
Presumably, you want to dismiss the alert view when the action sheet is presented? Then when the action sheet is dismissed, you get back to your main view? So, the order you want:
1) Present alert view
2) If a button on the alert view is pressed, it notifies it's delegate using - (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
3) Dismiss the alertView - (void)dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex animated:(BOOL)animated and present the action sheet.
3) When the action sheet is used, it calls it's delegate method - (void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex and within that method, dismiss it, or whatever else you need to do.
You would put all of these delegate methods in your original calling viewcontroller, conforming it to <UIAlertViewDelegate, UIActionSheetDelegate>.
You will need to make the original viewcontroller the delegate of the alert view AND the action sheet when you create them. I hope this makes sense.
More information http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/UIAlertView_Class/UIAlertView/UIAlertView.html
I would say it's probably b/c you are not resigning the first responder on the UITextField that is inside the UIAlertView. Make sure that before you show your UIActionSheet you do
[myTextField resignFirstResponder];
I have multiple alert views in one view, and I use this code to detect which button was pressed:
-(void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
NSString *title = [alertView buttonTitleAtIndex:buttonIndex];
if ([title isEqualToString:#"OK"]) {
//for one alert view
[passCode becomeFirstResponder];
} else if ([title isEqualToString:#" OK "]) {
//for another alert view, had to change "OK" to " OK "
[passCodeConfirm becomeFirstResponder];
}
}
Now since there are multiple alert views in one view that do different things, I have to trick the user into thinking "OK" and " OK " are the same thing. It works and looks fine, but it feels kind of messy. Surely there is another way to do this, such as making this specific to an alert view, and then making it specific to another. Do you know how I would do this? Thanks!
It would be more technical as well better that set unique tag for separate UIAlertView and identify it and access in its delegate method.
For example,
UIAlertView *alert=[[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"Message" message:#"Are You Sure you want to Update?" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:#"Ok",nil];
[alert setTag:1];
[alert show];
[alert release];
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
if(alertView.tag == 1)
{
// set your logic
}
}
Use tag property to uniquely identify each of the alertview u create.
Like this
myAlertView.tag = 1
Then in the clickedButtonAtIndex delegate method check which alertview's button was clicked using this tag property ,
if(alertView.tag==1)
I wouldn't use the titles to distinguish between the buttons. You'll run into problems when your app is localized or you decide to change the button titles, but forget to update them everywhere. Use the button indexes instead or if you only have one button in addition to a cancel button, use the cancelButtonIndex property of UIAlertView.
To distinguish between multiple alert views, you could use their tag property.
In your view, add a property for each alert view.
UIAlertView *myAlertType1;
UIAlertView *myAlertType2;
#property (nonatomic, retain) UIAlertView *myAlertType1;
#property (nonatomic, retain) UIAlertView *myAlertType2;
Create your alert using these properties
self.myAlertType1 = [[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle: ... etc] autorelease];
[self.myAlertType1 show];
Then in your delegate method:
-(void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
if (alertView == myAlertType1) {
// check the button types and add behaviour for this type of alert
} else if (alertView == myAlertType2 {
// check the button types and add behaviour for the second type of alert
}
}
Edit: Although the above works, iApple's suggestion of using the tag seems cleaner/simpler.
//in your .h file
UIAlertView* alert1;
UIAlertView* alert2;
//in your .m file
// when you are showing your alerts, use
[alert1 show]; //or
[alert2 show];
//and just check your alertview in the below method
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
if(alertView == alert1)
{
//check its buttons
}
else //check other alert's btns
}
