Answer 1

I'm not sure what your goal is but a few things look wrong to me anyways:
First of all you should create your strings this way:
NSString *title= #"Warning";
There's no need to use stringWithFormat in your case.
Then, it doesn't seem you properly set the first UIAlert's tag to 1, and the default value for tags is 0 so I guess the if statements in didDismissWithButtonIndex are never true.
Also, you should check which button was pressed using buttonIndex, otherwise you are going to show both alert and call [self resetArray] whichever button is pressed by the user.
Hope that helps.

In your code, you create the first alert, but never actually set the tag on it. You should do:
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:title
message:message
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:ok otherButtonTitles:#"Yes",nil];
alert.tag = 1; //Or 2, or something.
[alert show];
[alert release];
Then the code in your delegate method will run.

Please define two separate UIAlertView in .h file
#interface XYZViewController:UIViewController
{
UIAlertView *firstAlertView;
UIAlertView *secondAlertView;
}
Now in your .m file modify as below:
-(IBAction)resetPressed:(id)sender
{
NSString *title= [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Warning"];
NSString *message = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Are you sure you want to Reset"];
NSString *ok = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"No"];
if(firstAlertView == nil)
{
firstAlertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:title message:message delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:ok otherButtonTitles:#"Yes",nil];
}
[firstAlertView show];
}
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
if (alertView == firstAlertView)
{
NSString *title= [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Warning"];
NSString *message = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Are you sure you want to Reset"];
NSString *ok = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"No"];
if(secondAlertView == nil)
{
secondAlertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:title message:message delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:ok otherButtonTitles:#"Yes",nil];
}
[secondAlertView show];
}
else if(alertView == secondAlertView)
{
[self resetArray];
}
}
and in dealloc method please release the allocated UIAlertviews.
Hope i am clear to you.
Thanks,
Jim.
