UILabel in UIAlertController or UITextField alike UILabel - ios

Question

I need to add some labels to UIAlertController and after researching it turned out that there is no normal way to do it. But as it's possible to add UITextField, I decided to change UITextField's appearance to be alike UILabel (has no border and background color). But changing its background color to clear and border style to none doesn't help. How can I achieve this?
Here is the code:
- (void)test
{
UIAlertController * alert = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:#"Test Title"
message:#"Test Message"
preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];
UIAlertAction* ok = [UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:#"OK" style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault
handler:^(UIAlertAction * action) {
//Do Some action here
}];
UIAlertAction* cancel = [UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:#"Cancel" style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault
handler:^(UIAlertAction * action) {
[alert dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}];
[alert addAction:ok];
[alert addAction:cancel];
[alert addTextFieldWithConfigurationHandler:^(UITextField *textField) {
textField.text = #"Text: ";
textField.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
textField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleNone;
textField.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[textField setUserInteractionEnabled:NO];
}];
[alert addTextFieldWithConfigurationHandler:^(UITextField *textField) {
}];
[self presentViewController:alert animated:YES completion:nil];
}

Answer 1

I believe you want to add a custom Label in UIAlert for good UI Look.
The best way to do this either programming a custom UIView such that it feels and behaves like an UIAlertView or use one of the following libraries from github.

Answer 2

use this
textField.placeholder = #"Text: ";
instead of
textField.text = #"Text: ";

Answer 3

There is no need of third party libs to achieve this. Just customize UIAlertController
let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Add Table", message: "", preferredStyle: UIAlertController.Style.alert)
alertController.addTextField { (textField) -> Void in
textField.text = "No of Columns :"
textField.keyboardType = .numberPad
textField.isUserInteractionEnabled = false
}
alertController.addTextField { (textField) -> Void in
textField.placeholder = "No of Columns"
textField.keyboardType = .numberPad
textField.text = "2"
textField.isUserInteractionEnabled = false
}
alertController.addTextField { (textField) -> Void in
textField.text = "No of Rows :"
textField.keyboardType = .numberPad
textField.isUserInteractionEnabled = false
}
alertController.addTextField { (textField) -> Void in
textField.placeholder = "No of Rows"
textField.keyboardType = .numberPad
textField.text = "2"
}
let saveAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Create", style: UIAlertAction.Style.default, handler: { alert -> Void in
let firstTextField = alertController.textFields![0] as UITextField
let secondTextField = alertController.textFields![1] as UITextField
})
let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: UIAlertAction.Style.destructive, handler: {
(action : UIAlertAction!) -> Void in })
alertController.addAction(cancelAction)
alertController.addAction(saveAction)
if let textFields = alertController.textFields {
if textFields.count > 0{
textFields[0].superview!.superview!.subviews[0].removeFromSuperview()
textFields[0].superview!.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
}
if textFields.count > 2{
textFields[2].superview!.superview!.subviews[0].removeFromSuperview()
textFields[2].superview!.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
}
}
self.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
