Using buttonIndex with multiple alert views - ios

Question

I have about 4 alert views with different criteria when they appear. In all 4 views, the right button should always do the same thing.
I use the code below to try and say IF the buttonIndex == 1, do something.
Currently, It only works in one of my alert views. The others just end up closing the alert view and never running the code for IF buttonIndex == 1.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
if (a==1) {
NSString *message = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:
#"Only $%#!",dollas.text];
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:
#"Really?!"
message:message
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"Close"
otherButtonTitles:#"Facebook",nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
[message release];
}
else if (a==2) {
NSString *message = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:
#"Somone just paid you $%#", dollas.text];
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:
#"Swish!"
message:message
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:#"Close"
otherButtonTitles:#"Facebook",nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
[message release];
}
And the delegate:
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)actionSheet didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
if (buttonIndex == 1)
{
do.stuff;
}

Answer 1

You should be setting the delegate to self so that method gets called.
IE -
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:
#"Really?!"
message:message
delegate:self //SELF
cancelButtonTitle:#"Close"
otherButtonTitles:#"Facebook",nil];

Answer 2

Set the tags on each alertview and inside -didDismissWithButtonIndex check first for the alerts tag
eg:
if (a==1) {
NSString *message = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:
#"Only $%#!",dollas.text];
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:
#"Really?!"
message:message
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"Close"
otherButtonTitles:#"Facebook",nil];
alert.tag = 1;
[alert show];
[alert release];
[message release];
}
else if (a==2) {
NSString *message = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:
#"Somone just paid you $%#", dollas.text];
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:
#"Swish!"
message:message
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:#"Close"
otherButtonTitles:#"Facebook",nil];
alert.tag = 2;
[alert show];
[alert release];
[message release];
}
then in -didDismissWithButtonIndex
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)actionSheet didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
if (buttonIndex == 1 && actionSheet.tag == 1)
{
do.stuff;
}
else if (buttonIndex == 1 && actionSheet.tag == 2)
{
do.otherStuff;
}

Answer 3

For the case (a == 2) you set the UIAlertView delegate to nil, so - (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)actionSheet didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex shouldn't even be getting called for this case. Change it to set the delegate to self.
