Two Alert Views in One View Controller - buttonIndex Response - ios

Question

I am trying to perform the smile task of having two alerts in a single View Controller. The code below works fine, but how would I make another instance of it elsewhere in the View Controller. I am concerned that if I duplicated the code, my buttonIndex would not know which alert it is responding to. Any ideas? Thanks!
-(void)alertChoice
{
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Title"
message:#"Message" delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:#"Confirm", nil];
[alert show];
}
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
if (buttonIndex == 1)
{
//do something
}
}

Answer 1

You can use the tag property on UIAlertView to decipher which alert is which:
-(void)alertChoice
{
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Title"
message:#"Message" delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:#"Confirm", nil];
alert.tag = 0;
[alert show];
}
-(void)alertChoice1
{
UIAlertView *alert1 = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Title"
message:#"Message" delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:#"Confirm", nil];
alert1.tag = 1;
[alert1 show];
}
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
if(alertView.tag == 0)
{
}
}

Simply set a tag to each Alert view and check which one sent the messeg.
alertView.tag=0;
And then
-(void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex{
if(alertView.tag==0){
if(buttonIndex == 0)//OK button pressed
{
//do something
}
else if(buttonIndex == 1)//Annul button pressed.
{
//do something
}
}else{
if(buttonIndex == 0)//OK button pressed
{
//do something
}
else if(buttonIndex == 1)//Annul button pressed.
{
//do something
}
}

Answer 3

set tag to alert view.
alert.tag = 1;
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
if (buttonIndex == 1 && alertView.tag == 1)
{
//do something
}
}

Step 1: Add UIAlertViewDelegate in your view controller.h file
step 2: Add the following methods in your view controller.m file
-(void)AlertMethodOne
{
UIAlertView *alertview=[[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"AlertMethodOne" message:#"AlertMethodOne successfully Called" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"ok" otherButtonTitles:nil];
alert.tag=101;
[alertview show];
}
-(void)AletrMethodTwo
{
UIAlertView *alertview=[[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"AletrMethodTwo" message:#"AlertMethodTwo successfully Called" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"ok" otherButtonTitles:nil];
alert.tag=102;
[alertview show];
}
call the above two methods in your viewController as like below:
[self AlertMethodOne];
[self AlertMethodTwo];
Now AlertView Button Clicked Method
-(void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
if(alertView.tag==101)
{
if (buttonIndex == 0)
{
}
}
if(alertView.tag==102)
{
if (buttonIndex == 1)
{
}
}
}
