UITextView large text in UIAlertView - iphone

Question

I have an UIAlertView with UITextView.
on ViewDidAppear I do [textView setText:] with a large text, but the alert shows an empty textView, and only after I touch the textView to scroll, the text appears.
What should I do in order to make the text appear in the textView in the alert, without scrolling it to "refresh" it?
Thanks!
- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewDidAppear:animated];
av = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"Terms of Service" message:#"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Disagree" otherButtonTitles:#"Agree",nil];
UITextView *myTextView = [[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(12, 50, 260, 142)];
[myTextView setTextAlignment:UITextAlignmentCenter];
[myTextView setEditable:NO];
myTextView.layer.borderWidth = 2.0f;
myTextView.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor darkGrayColor] CGColor];
myTextView.layer.cornerRadius = 13;
myTextView.clipsToBounds = YES ;
[myTextView setText:#"LONG LONG TEXT"];
[av addSubview:myTextView];
[myTextView release];
[av setTag:1];
[av show];
}

Answer 1

This is because you have initially set message as #"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n" for UIAlertView. Set your UITextView first and then set UIAlertView's message as textView's text.

Answer 2

Add \n characters in place of message in alert view . Then create a UILabel add add to alert view. Like this
UIAlertView * alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#\n\n\n", #"Title"] message:#"\n" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:NEVER_DISPLAY_BUTTON_TEXT otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert addButtonWithTitle:#"Text"];
[alert addButtonWithTitle:#"Text"];
[alert addButtonWithTitle:#"Text"];
[alert addButtonWithTitle:#"Text"];
[alert show];
newTitle = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10,-55,252,230)];
newTitle.numberOfLines = 0;
newTitle.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:15];
newTitle.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
newTitle.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
newTitle.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
newTitle.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",self.message];
[alert addSubview:newTitle];
You might need to adjust size of Uilable to match in your alert view.

Try with this:
UIAlertView *av = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"Terms of Service"
message:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# \n\n\n",myTextView.text]
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"Disagree"
otherButtonTitles:#"Agree",nil
];
