iPhone alert view exclude a view controller - iphone

i have a project with many vie controller, in one of these i create and show a view alert. it's possible show alert in every view exclude one?
I need this because if you are in the alarm view controller you don't need to see the alert when alarm ring
i try this but not works!
// ALERT NOTIFICATION
if (!self.timerViewController) {
UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Piccole Ricette" message:#"READY" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles: nil];
[alertView show];
[alertView release];
}

In iOS you can test whether a ViewController 's view is visible by testing the view's window property. If the view is not visible the window property will be nil. So perhaps you can do something like this:
if (!self.timerViewController.view.window) {
UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Piccole Ricette" message:#"READY" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles: nil];
[alertView show];
[alertView release];
}

How to Get Alert When 'A' View Come Out From 'B' View in iPhone

I have requirement, can I have Alert When,
1)Say 'B' View is Bigger View than 'A'.
2)'A' view is on top of 'B' view.
3)When 'A' view Crosses the Border of 'B' View using PanGesture then We Should get Alert.
if (!CGRectContainsRect(B.frame, A.frame))
{
NSLog(#"ALERT !!!");
}
In the target method of your pan gesture check if A view's frame is contained inside B view's frame by using CGRectContainsRect() method.
If it returens NO then show your alert.
if(!CGRectContainsRect(B.frame, A.frame)){
//show alert here
}
Try this one...
if (!CGRectContainsRect(B.frame, A.frame))
{
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:nil message:#"You have crossed." delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Ok" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
[alert show];
}
if (!CGRectContainsRect(B.frame, A.frame))
{
UIAlertView * alert=[[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"..." message:#".." delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
[alert show];
}
try this one..

dismissing a UIAlertView programmatically

I need help on dismissing a UIAlertView programmatically. Currently I have this
UIAlertView *alert1 = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"title" message:#"message" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:nil];
then later on I call this
[alert1 dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:0 animated:NO];
but nothing happens.
You need to set two things.
1. include your .h file : <UIAlertViewDelegate>
2. please follow below implementation...
UIAlertView *alert1 = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"title" message:#"message" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert1 show];
[self performSelector:#selector(dismiss:) withObject:alert1 afterDelay:1.0];
the dismiss method will be...
-(void)dismiss:(UIAlertView*)alert
{
[alert dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:0 animated:YES];
}
I hope this will help you.
I encountered this problem too.
In my case, for some reason calling:
[alert dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:0 animated:NO];
didn't work always (yes, even calling it on UI thread and yes, alert != nil), instead simply setting the animated flag to YES it worked:
[alert dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:0 animated:YES];
Maybe it's an Apple bug...
you should display it first:
UIAlertView *alert1 = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"title" message:#"message" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert1 show];
then in delegate method
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView willDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex{
if(buttonIndex==0){
// do something
}
}
The methods you called is correct.
I guess the alert1 is nil when your call the method dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:animated:
Try to check your variable alert1.
You can use the delegate method -alertView:didDismissWithButtonIndex: instead—it gets called once the alert view’s been removed from the screen, OR better approach is , use a background thread, e.g. with -performSelectorInBackground:withObject:, to handle whatever processing you need to do.

Multiple alertViews create error

Hello and good afternoon, I'm having some issues here, and to be honest, I don't understand
I have to create different alertViews for the same screen with different messages, most of these alerts only have 1 button, but there's this one to delete that needs 2 buttons, the thing is that, since the others have only 1 button, when I created the 2 button screenview and I added the (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex method, I have some problems
some code here
- (IBAction)saveInfo{
if (med.text.length ==0) {
UIAlertView *alertViewError = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:NSLocalizedString(#"ERROR",#"")
message:NSLocalizedString(#"EMPTY1",#"")
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK"
otherButtonTitles: nil];
[alertViewError show];
[alertViewError release];
}
else if(medicamento.text.length >= 41){
[self lenghtError:40:NSLocalizedString(#"TF_MED",#"")];
}
else if (med.text.length ==0 || descripcion.text.length == 0) {
UIAlertView *alertViewError = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:NSLocalizedString(#"ERROR",#"")
message:NSLocalizedString(#"EMPTY2",#"")
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK"
otherButtonTitles: nil];
[alertViewError show];
[alertViewError release];
}
else if (descripcion.text.length >= 41){
[self lenghtError:40:NSLocalizedString(#"TF_DESCRIPCION",#"")];
}
else{
[self insertDictionary];
UIAlertView *alertViewAcept = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#""
message: NSLocalizedString(#"ACCEPT_MSG",#"")
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK"
otherButtonTitles: nil];
[alertViewAcept show];
[alertViewAcept release];
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
}
- (IBAction)cancelData{
UIAlertView *alertViewCancel =
[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle: NSLocalizedString(#"BT_DELETE_MED",#"")
message: NSLocalizedString(#"MSG_DELETE_MED",#"")
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK"
otherButtonTitles: #"Cancel", nil];
[alertViewCancel setTag:999];
[alertViewCancel show];
[alertViewCancel release];
}
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
if (alertView.tag == 999) {
if(buttonIndex==0){
[self.Bayer_DB_obj deleteRowWithKeyValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d",IdMed] onKeyName:#"id_ctl_med" onTable:#"ctl_med"];
// code to delete here
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
}
}
So, in the first part, I created some alerts to indicate the user that he/she is making a mistake, in the second part, I need a confirmation before deletion, but here, I need 2 buttons, then, in the 3rd part, I have the method that is been called, I added a tag to my alert to avoid doing this comparison in all the alerts, the problem is that, when you show alertViewAcept, it takes you to the previous view controller, and after you click the ok button (that actually is the cancelbuttontitle) the app crashes without any "error message"
so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, please help
My guess the problem is that you set the delegate for the alertViewAcept, and right after you showed the alert, you pop the viewController and so your delegate will get released, which will then give you an error once a button on the alert view is clicked.
You should do this:
UIAlertView *alertViewAcept = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#""
message: NSLocalizedString(#"ACCEPT_MSG",#"")
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK"
otherButtonTitles: nil];
Even better, all your alerts which only have the OK button, do not need a delegate. And in that case you do not even need the tag.

Alert with UITableView

Is it possible to do something like what is shown below using an Alert with a UITableView? If so, how can it be done?
read my this post - http://www.makebetterthings.com/blogs/iphone/add-uitextfield-in-uialertview/
and try to add a table or scroll view instead of uitextfield
No, that's not a UITableView. If you want to show something like that, use UIAlertView:
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:nil message:#"Annuler" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil]; [alert show]; [alert release];

IPHONE: UIAlertView called twice in a custom function/IBAction

i have an IBAction which does some processing and within will have a few UIAlertViews (to show alerts). However it seems that the FIRST alert in the paragraph is being called TWICE (once immediately after i clicked and another time after all the other alerts has occured). Additionally, the first time the alert appears, the alert automatically closes even though i have an OK button and the user has not clicked on it. The 2nd time the alert appears, it will require the user to click on OK.
I tried moving the paragraph out from IBAction into its own function but still the problem occurs.
all the alerts in my IBAction/function are the same:
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"blah" message:#"blah" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil,nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
but the other alerts function normally.
the code looks like this ("blah" is the one being called twice):
-(void)function {
if (......) {
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"blah" message:#"blah" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil,nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
for (int i=0; i<2; i++) {
if (.....) {
//do stuff
} else {
UIAlertView *alert2 = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"blah2" message:#"blah2" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil,nil];
[alert2 show];
[alert2 release];
}
}
} else {
UIAlertView *alert3 = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"blah3" message:#"blah3" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil,nil];
[alert3 show];
[alert3 release];
}
}
please help!
First of all, we need more code to diagnose your problem. What you provide is not sufficient.
Second, I once encountered a similar problem: when a compose an email action is triggered by the user who didn't set up her email account on that device, I asked my app to show an UIAlertView. However, when I tested my code on a real device with such a scenario, two consecutive UIAlertViews showed, one after another, both of which are about the email account not set up issue.
I finally figured out that the iOS system will automatically show an UIAlertView when the email account is not set up while a user tries to compose an email, which is why two UIAlertViews showed up when I only expected one.
Hope that helps.
