Below is the action and alert view. Why Won't This Work When The User Taps The Button?
Alert/Action
-(IBAction)myButton
{
UIAlertView *alert=[[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"" message:#"Call (804) 378-7120?"
delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"NO" otherButtonTitles:#"YES",nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
}
What To Do With User Input
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
if(buttonIndex==1)
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication]
openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"tel://(804) 378-7120"]];
}
else
{
//Do whatever you want
}
}
As far as I remember, the index of the 1st other button is 0. So you say
if(buttonIndex==0)
{...open you URL...}
else
{
NSLog(#\"cancel\");
}
Per Apple documentation for Phone Links, the format is:
tel:1-408-555-5555
Similar to an email link, there is no //, and notice the use of hyphens, not parenthesis or space.
use this method when the user hit the YES option.
**-(void)phoneCall
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"tel:099123456"]];
}**
Change the number 099123456 to the number what you want to call.
Hope this result useful.

Let's say John has been using my app for 3-6 minutes.
Then I'd like a view to pop up that would in my case, include an advertisement.
Something like this,
AdViewController *adViewController = [[AdViewController alloc] init];
[self presentViewController:adViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
But how can I let it pop up after some random time? I guess I have to work with the delegate files and use the arc4random function.
After John has viewed the advertisement, he'd then have to close it, but that's not the problem..
Can someone give me a code example?
The simple solution is to
Create a NSTimer and let it fire every 300 secs (5 mins)
NSTimer will fire an action that shows your pop-up.
I don't get it why was this so difficult to understand?
//use arc4random() if you need random time
NSTimer *timer2 = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:300.0 target:self selector:#selector(rateThisApp) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
// *********
// ********* RATE APP ***********
// *********
- (IBAction)rateThisApp
{
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Rate this App"
message:#"Are you enjoying this app? Please leave a rating at the app store and tell us what you think of this app and its features. We would love to hear from you!"
delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Not Now"
otherButtonTitles:#"Rate Now", nil];
[alert show];
alert.tag = 400;
}
-(void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
if (actionSheet.tag == 400)
{
if (buttonIndex == 0)
{
//dont do anything, user hit cancel
}
else if (buttonIndex == 1)
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication]
openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"itms-apps://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewContentsUserReviews?type=Purple+Software&id=1234567"]];
}
}
}
I've got a problem,
I added Flurry SDK in my iOS app and want to show a full screen add each time when the user click in the "Ok" button of an uiAlertView. The problem is that it doesn't work.
So, I tried try to do it without the AlertView and it works perfectly.
Someone knows why it doesn't work after clicking on an AlertView.
// The call of the alertview
UIAlertView *myAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:NSLocalizedString(#"TitlePopupNewGame", nil) message:nil delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:NSLocalizedString(#"CancelPopupNewGame", nil) otherButtonTitles:NSLocalizedString(#"YesPopupNewGame", nil), nil];
myAlert.tag = 1;
myAlert.delegate = self;
[myAlert show];
// Alertview method
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex{
if (alertView.tag == 1 && buttonIndex == 0){
[self showInterstitial];
}
}
// ShowInterstitial method
-(void) showInterstitial{
if ([FlurryAds adReadyForSpace: #"Full screen banner"]) {
[FlurryAds displayAdForSpace: #"Full screen banner"
onView:mv];
[FlurryAds fetchAdForSpace:#"Full screen banner"
frame:mv.frame size:FULLSCREEN];
} else {
// fetch an ad
[FlurryAds fetchAdForSpace:#"Full screen banner"
frame:mv.frame size:FULLSCREEN];
}
}
Thanks
I created an alert view with three buttons -"Sign Up","Donate","Cancel"- when u click on either sign up or donate, safari should open with the specific website. However when I open the app, and click any of the buttons, safari doesn't open or do anything and the buttons work as though they were different versions of the cancel button. Here is my code:
In BlahBlah.h:
#interface BlahBlah: UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate, UIAlertViewDelegate> {
}
#end
In BlahBlah.m:
#define donate_tag 0
#import "BlahBlah.h"
#implementation BlahBlah
...
- (void) donate {
UIAlertView *alert2 = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Donate"
message:#"Function doesn't work yet :(" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel"
otherButtonTitles:#"Sign Up",#"Donate",nil];
alert2.tag = donate_tag;
[alert2 show];
[alert2 release];
}
...
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex{
if(alertView.tag == donate_tag && buttonIndex == 1){
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.google.com"]];
}
else if(alertView.tag == donate_tag && buttonIndex == 2){
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.yahoo.com"]];
}
}
...
#end
You need to tell the alert who handles the actions of the buttons, that is to say, who is the "delegate" of the alert view.
Since everything related to the UIAlertView is within your "BlahBlah" view controller, after creating alert2, do something like this:
alert2.delegate = self;
or declare it in your UIAlertView instantiation:
UIAlertView *alert2 = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Donate"
message:#"Function doesn't work yet :(" delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:#"Sign Up",#"Donate",nil];
I have created a tab in my app, where the user could call the client directly from within the app.
But I wont show his number, i want to display: "Do you want to call Client?" instead of "Do you want to call 000-000-000"
I've seen this solution in another app, but dont have a clue how to do this.
The openURL call does not automatically prompt the user for anything.
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"tel:7205551212"]];
It's good practice to confirm with the user, but it's up to you to determine the message. To show the alert, do something like this:
UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Confirmation" message:#"Do you want to call Client?" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"No" otherButtonTitles:#"Yes", nil];
[alertView show];
[alertView release];
Then make the actual phone call in a UIAlertViewDelegate method:
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
if (buttonIndex == 1) {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"tel:7205551212"]];
}
}
I have an actionSheet with EDIT and DELETE buttons, both being other buttons This is the Code i have written for it
-(void)method1
{
action = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:nil delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:#"Edit", #"Delete", nil];
action.actionSheetStyle = UIActionSheetStyleBlackTranslucent;
[action showInView:self.view];
[action release];
}
I have used the deleate method to assign actions to method..
-(void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)action didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
if(buttonIndex == 0)
{
// do something
}
if(buttonIndex == 1)
{
// do something
}
}
now the problem is that the actionsheet does not dismiss at one click of either of the buttons.. Please help me with some solution.
This appears to be a bug in iOS4.0. I had this issue in my simulator. I changed the version to 4.3 and 5.0 and it seemed ok.
Edit:
Seems that my issue was more specifically to do with the actionsheet being launched twice by a delegate method "-(BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField"
Not sure why this is called twice in this case but not others (again I assume a iOS 4.0 bug that's been fixed in later releases). My workaround is to keep track if it's been called already and not call it a second time.
Edit 2
I would suggest doing something like:
-(void)method1
{
if(hasLaunchedActionSheet)
{
return;
}
hasLaunchedActionSheet = YES;
...
and:
-(void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)action didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
hasLaunchedActionSheet = NO;
...
For me, the issue's not so much in Xcode as it is in the iOS SDK itself calling my event twice. I'm not sure how you're calling method1 so it might be a different issue with a different event.
You are using wrong delegate methods, for button interaction, you should use:
-(void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
instead of:
-(void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)action didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
