I want to add an activity Indicator View inside and Alert Box is it possible to add an subView inside Another subView?
Use below code :
UIAlertView *myAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#" " message:#" " delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:nil];
UIActivityIndicatorView *myActivityIndicatorView= [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(100, 60, 40, 40)];
myActivityIndicatorView.activityIndicatorViewStyle = UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhiteLarge;
[myAlert addSubview:myActivityIndicatorView];
[myActivityIndicatorView startAnimating];
[myAlert show];
yes it is possible...
[alertView addSubview:activityIndicator];
Technically, yes.
Simply alloc and init both views, then call
[alertView addSubview:activityView];
However, if this passes Apple's inspection is doubtful, so you may not be able to publish to the AppStore.

I need to display activityindicator in didSelectRowatIndexPath event when iam moving from one UIView to another UiView.It should be displayed as long as the process for loading another uiview takes.
How can I do this?
Try below code but I am giving example you should modify it & use according to your need:
alert= [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Loading\nPlease Wait..." message:nil delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles: nil];
[alert show];
UIActivityIndicatorView *indicator = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhiteLarge];
indicator.center = CGPointMake(150, 100);
[indicator startAnimating];
[alert addSubview:indicator];
Ok after pushing your class use this line to dismiss indicator:
[alert dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:0 animated:YES];
Try. Best of luck.
I need to add a TextField to an UIAlertView. I understand that apple discourage this approach. So is there any library that i could make use of to add a TextField to a UIAlertView look-alike frame ?
For iOS5:
UIAlertView *av = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"Title" message:#"Please enter someth" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:#"OK", nil];
av.alertViewStyle = UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput;
[av textFieldAtIndex:0].delegate = self;
[av show];
Also, you 'll need to implement UITextFieldDelegate, UIAlertViewDelegate protocols.
Unfortunately the only official API for this is iOS 5 and up, it's a property called alertViewStyle which can be set to the following parameters:
UIAlertViewStyleDefault
UIAlertViewStyleSecureTextInput
UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput
UIAlertViewStyleLoginAndPasswordInput
UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput being the one you want.
Messing with the view hierarchy as described above is strongly discouraged by Apple.
I'm using BlockAlertsAndActionSheets instead of the Apple components for AlertViews and ActionSheets as I prefer the blocks-approach. Also contains a BlockTextPromptAlertView in the source, which might be what you want. You can replace the images of that control to get the Apple-style back.
Project on gitgub
Tutorial which gets you started
Example:
- (IBAction)newFolder:(id)sender {
id selfDelegate = self;
UITextField *textField;
BlockTextPromptAlertView *alert = [BlockTextPromptAlertView promptWithTitle :#"New Folder"
message :#"Please enter the name of the new folder!"
textField :&textField];
[alert setCancelButtonWithTitle:#"Cancel" block:nil];
[alert addButtonWithTitle:#"Okay" block:^{
[selfDelegate createFolder:textField.text];
}];
[alert show];
}
- (void)createFolder:(NSString*)folderName {
// do stuff
}
Try something like this:
UIAlertView *alert = [[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Title"
message:#"\n\n"
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel"
otherButtonTitles:#"Save", nil] autorelease];
CGRect rect = {12, 60, 260, 25};
UITextField *dirField = [[[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:rect] autorelease];
dirField.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[dirField becomeFirstResponder];
[alert addSubview:dirField];
[alert show];
As of iOS 8 UIAlertView has been deprecated in favor of UIAlertController, which adds support for adding UITextFields using the method:
- (void)addTextFieldWithConfigurationHandler:(void (^)(UITextField *textField))configurationHandler;
See this answer for an example.
You can try:
UIAlertView *myAlertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Your title here!" message:#"this gets covered" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:#"OK", nil];
UITextField *myTextField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(12.0, 45.0, 260.0, 25.0)];
[myTextField setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
[myAlertView addSubview:testTextField];
[myAlertView show];
[myAlertView release];
Follow this link for detail.
first of All Add UIAlertViewDelegate into ViewController.h File like
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface UIViewController : UITableViewController<UIAlertViewDelegate>
#end
and than Add Below Code where you wants to alert Display,
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Title"
message:#"Message"
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"Done"
otherButtonTitles:nil];
alert.alertViewStyle = UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput;
[alert show];
and it's delegate method which returns what input of UItextField
-(void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
NSLog(#"%#", [alertView textFieldAtIndex:0].text);
}
adding to answer from 'Shmidt', the code to capture text entered in UIAlertView is pasted below (thank you 'Wayne Hartman' Getting text from UIAlertView)
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
if (buttonIndex == 1) {
self.userNumber = [alertView textFieldAtIndex:0].text;
if (self.userNumber) {
// user enetered value
NSLog(#"self.userNumber: %#",self.userNumber);
} else {
NSLog(#"null");
}
}
}
refer this... http://iosdevelopertips.com/undocumented/alert-with-textfields.html this is private api and if you use it for app in appstore it might get rejected but it is fine for enterprise development.
I want to display a activity indicator in AlertView with no buttons, I want to disable it when activity indicator stops animating.
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Title" message:#"Message" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:nil];
UIActivityIndicatorView *progress= [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(125, 50, 30, 30)];
progress.activityIndicatorViewStyle = UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhiteLarge;
[alert addSubview:progress];
[progress startAnimating];
[alert show];
[progress release];
Then to dismiss the alert view and spinner: (you'll need to make the alert view a member)
[alert dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:0 animated:YES];
[alert release];
Just call dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:animated: method for UIAlertView
[alertView dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:0 animated:YES];
Just call the:
[theAlertViewInstance dismissWithClickedButtonIndex: 0 animated:YES];
This should do, what you need.
I have UIAlertView which is being displayed upon the load of a view.
av = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"New Password" message:#"please enter a new passward" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:#"done", nil];
av.alertViewStyle = UIAlertViewStyleSecureTextInput;
[av becomeFirstResponder];
[av show];
However the keyboard is not being display on the iPad or the simulator?
I have also tried
I just tried
[av becomeFirstResponder];
and also
UITextField *text = [alertView textFieldAtIndex:0];
[text becomeFirstResponder];
I just tried this piece of code and it logs that the textField is the first responder but still no keyboard.
if([[av textFieldAtIndex:0] isFirstResponder] == YES){
NSLog(#"av is the first responder.");
}
Making the alert into the first responder won't help. You need to make te text box inside the alert view into the first responder.
Edit:
You may need to call reloadInputViews (with or without the s, don't remember). Also double check that you're not changing the input views anywhere that might be breaking them.
Edit 2:
You might want to move the alert from viewDidLoad into viewDidAppear. I've seen problems with UI elements being updated/presented too early. This is one of those cases, I think.
To use
av = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"New Password" message:#"please enter a new passward" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:#"done", nil];
av.tag=1;
av.alertViewStyle = UIAlertViewStyleSecureTextInput;
[av show];
and use this method.
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertViews clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
if (alertViews.tag==1)
{
[textfieldname becomeFirstResponder];
}
}
this works
self.alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"Login" message:#"Please enter you mobile number" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Okay" otherButtonTitles:nil];
self.alertView.alertViewStyle=UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput;
[alertView show];
but not this
UIAlertView* alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] init];
[alertView initWithTitle:...]
av = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"New Password" message:#"please enter a new passward" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:#"done", nil];
UITextField *tf = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(12, 45, 260, 25)];
CGAffineTransform Transform = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(0, 60);
[tf setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
[av setTransform:Transform];
[av addSubview:tf];
[av show];
This works but you should be able to do this in IOS 5 using UIAlertViewStyleSecureTextInput??
I had the same issue, but my solution looks like it might not apply to original poster...
I had this code :
UIAlertView* alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] init];
[alert initWithTitle:...]
When run, no keyboard appeared.
I changed it to this, and keyboard now appears:
UIAlertView* alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:...];
Doing the init after alert was created seem to leave internal state of object as "this object doesn't need a keyboard!"
I want to create a UIAlertView that will say that "...in progress". It will also show that UIActivityindicatorView on it. Could you let me know how can I do that?
Thanks.
Its pretty simple. Just create a UIActivityIndicatorView and add it as a subview to the UIAlertView.
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#" " message:#" " delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:nil];
UIActivityIndicatorView *progress= [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(125, 50, 30, 30)];
progress.activityIndicatorViewStyle = UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhiteLarge;
[alert addSubview:progress];
[progress startAnimating];
[alert show];
In my case i found what using hardcoded frame origins it's bad. And if my message has more one line, indicator showing top of my message.
So i create function with layouting indicator if size UIAlertView
+(UIAlertView*) progressAlertWithTitle:(NSString*) title andMessage:(NSString*) message andDelegate:(id)delegate{
UIAlertView *progressAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] init];
[progressAlert setTitle:title];
[progressAlert setMessage:message];
[progressAlert setDelegate:delegate];
UIActivityIndicatorView *progress=nil;
progress= [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhiteLarge];
[progressAlert addSubview:progress];
[progress startAnimating];
[progressAlert show];
progress.frame=CGRectMake(progressAlert.frame.size.width/2-progress.frame.size.width, progressAlert.frame.size.height-progress.frame.size.height*2, progress.frame.size.width, progress.frame.size.height);
return progressAlert;
}
In this case, indicator always by center
One line message:
More one line message:
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"" message:#"" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:nil];
UIActivityIndicatorView *spinner = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc]initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleGray];
spinner.center = CGRectMake(xcords, ycords, width, height);
[alert addSubview:spinner];
[spinner startanimating];
[alert show];
This spinner gets hidden on dismiss of AlertView.
[alert dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:0 animated:YES];
