How to dismiss alertview when click on the button in that alertview - iphone

Question

I am new to iOS.
I am working on alertviews. Here is my code. Here there are 2 alertviews: successfulallert and unsuccessfulallert for login page. I am using alertview delegate also here, it will work for both alertviews but I want to work only for successful alertview and navigation should be done only for successful alertview. If anybody knows this please help me.
NSString *responseOfResult = [[NSString alloc]initWithString:[result response]];
NSRange match;
// NSLog(#"string= %#", str);
match = [responseOfResult rangeOfString: #"successful"];
if(match.location == NSNotFound)
{
UIAlertView *unsuccessfulAllert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Alert"
message:responseOfResult
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:#"OK", nil];
[unsuccessfulAllert show];
}
else {
UIAlertView *successfulAllert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Message" message:#"Login successful." delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:#"OK", nil];
[successfulAllert show];
}
-(void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex{
if(buttonIndex == 0){
[[self navigationController]pushViewController:registerUserScreen animated:YES];
}
}

Answer 1

Why don't you put "OK" as cancelButtonTitle? Everything will be handled automatically.
UIAlertView *successfulAllert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Message" message:#"Login successful." delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Ok" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
[successfulAllert show];

Answer 2

-(void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex{
if(buttonIndex == 0){
//POP here with this:
[self.navigationController pushViewController:addItemView animated:NO];
}
}

NSString *responseOfResult = [[NSString alloc]initWithString:[result response]];
NSRange match;
// NSLog(#"string= %#", str);
match = [responseOfResult rangeOfString: #"successful"];
if(match.location == NSNotFound)
{
UIAlertView *unsuccessfulAllert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Alert"
message:responseOfResult
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:#"OK", nil];
[unsuccessfulAllert setTag:1];
[unsuccessfulAllert show];
}
else {
UIAlertView *successfulAllert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Message" message:#"Login successful." delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:#"OK", nil];
[successfulAllert setTag:2];
[successfulAllert show];
}
-(void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex{
if(alertView.tag == 2)
{
[[self navigationController]pushViewController:registerUserScreen animated:YES];
}
else
{
//[[self navigationController]pushViewController:registerUserScreen animated:NO];
// OR
return;
}
}

You have many ways to correct your code, the first and very common is to use the tag property (integer) of the UIView. Since UIAlertview inherits from UIView, it has the tag property, so each time you want create an alert (or a view), set the tag and the check your condition like:
...
alert.tag=1;
[alert show];
then to know wich alert is calling the callback:
-(void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex{
if(alertView.tag==theTagOfYourAlert){
//do your stuff
}
}
another way, in your case, could be:
if([alertView.title isEqualToString:#"Alert"]){
//do your stuff
}
}

Answer 5

Add tag to the two alert views and check for tag in alert view delegate.
Sample code:
NSString *responseOfResult = [[NSString alloc]initWithString:[result response]];
NSRange match;
// NSLog(#"string= %#", str);
match = [responseOfResult rangeOfString: #"successful"];
if(match.location == NSNotFound)
{
UIAlertView *unsuccessfulAllert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Alert"
message:responseOfResult
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:#"OK", nil];
[unsuccessfulAllert setTag:1];
[unsuccessfulAllert show];
}
else {
UIAlertView *successfulAllert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Message" message:#"Login successful." delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:#"OK", nil];
[successfulAllert setTag:2];
[successfulAllert show];
}
-(void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex{
if(alertView.tag==2 && buttonIndex == 0){
[[self navigationController]pushViewController:registerUserScreen animated:YES];
}

Answer 6

Yes the delegate would work for both the alertviews but you can assign a tag to each alertview Object and check for the tag in the delegate and then perform event if the tag for that particular AlertView onject matches.If u need code , i will provide.

For things like Login status updates, you might want to have the "Login Successful" message disappear automatically. Try this instead:

This works nicely and comes in handy for situations like this. Plus you don't have to deal with all the clutter involved with UIAlertViews.
