Opening a new view controller after alert - ios

Question

enter code hereI am having trouble with going back to the previous view controller when alert is presented.
What I am trying to do is have the user enter in data, then an alert appear saying it was successful, then return to the previous view controller.
I currently have no code doing so and am seeking assistance with what I should put in.
- (IBAction)saveLabel:(id)sender
{
NSArray *data = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:#"DATA"];
NSMutableArray *currentDataArray;
if (data == nil)
{
currentDataArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
}
else
{
currentDataArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithArray:data];
}
[currentDataArray addObject:self.textField.text];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:currentDataArray forKey:#"DATA"];
}
- (IBAction)enterButtonPressed:(id)sender
{
NSLog(#"enterButtonPressed");
UIAlertView *enterAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:nil message:#"Entry was recorded" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"Okay" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
[enterAlert show];
}

//If u r using dismissing
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{
UIAlertView *enterAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:nil message:#"Entry was recorded" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"Okay" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
[enterAlert show];
}];
//if u r using navigation ,popViewController
[CATransaction begin];
[CATransaction setCompletionBlock:^{
// handle completion here
UIAlertView *enterAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:nil message:#"Entry was recorded" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"Okay" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
[enterAlert show];
}];
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
[CATransaction commit];

Answer 2

Set Delegate self of your UIAlertView
UIAlertView *enterAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:nil message:#"Entry was recorded" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Okay" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
[enterAlert show];
Use Delegate Method of UIAlertviewController.
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
if(buttonIndex==0){
// Do your Stuff Here....
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:TRUE];
}
}

Answer 3

Add the following UIAlertViewDelegate method to your implementation file:
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView
didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
// If you are presenting this view controller
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
// If you are pushing this view controller
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
Also remember to set your UIAlertView delegate to your view controller, change to the following code:
UIAlertView *enterAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:nil message:#"Entry was recorded" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Okay" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];

Answer 4

UIAlertView *enterAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:nil message:#"Entry was recorded" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"Okay" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
enterAlert.tag=100;
[enterAlert show];
}
-(void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
if (alertView.tag == 100) {
if (buttonIndex == 0) {
// Do something when ok pressed
// If you are presenting this view controller
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
// If you are pushing this view controller
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
} else {
// Do something for other alertviewButton}
else{// Do something with responses from other alertViews by giving tags
}
