Custom iOS AlertView

v0.9.5

support for iOS7+

The addSubview is not available in UIAlertView since iOS7. The view hierarchy for this class is private and must not be modified.

As a solution, this class creates an iOS-style dialog which you can extend with any UIViews or buttons. The animations and the looks are copied too and no images or other resources are needed.

A demo screen

Install

As simple as adding the following files to your project:

CustomIOSAlertView.h
CustomIOSAlertView.m

Or use Cocoapods:

pod 'CustomIOSAlertView', '~> 0.9.5'

Change notes

Fixed rotation for IOS8
Removed 7 from the class name. Just use CustomIOSAlertView from now on, like: [[CustomIOSAlertView alloc] init];
The initWithParentView method is now deprecated. Please use the init method instead, where you don't need to pass a parent view at all. In case the init doesn't work for you, please leave a note or open an issue here.

Quick start guide

Create the UIView object changed

CustomIOSAlertView *alertView = [[CustomIOSAlertView alloc] init];

Add some custom content to the alert view (optional)

UIView *customView ..;

[alertView setContainerView:customView];

Display the dialog
```
[alertView show];
```

More functions

Close the dialog
```
[alertView close];
```

To add more buttons, pass a list of titles

[alertView setButtonTitles:[NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:@"Button1", @"Button2", @"Button3", nil]];

You can remove all buttons by passing nil
```
[alertView setButtonTitles:NULL];
```
You can enable or disable the iOS7 parallax effects on the alert view
```
[alertView setUseMotionEffects:TRUE];
```

Handle button clicks with a custom delegate

First, set the delegate:

[alertView setDelegate:self];

Then add the delegate methods:

- (void)customIOS7dialogButtonTouchUpInside: (CustomIOSAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex: (NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
    NSLog(@"Button at position %d is clicked on alertView %d.", buttonIndex, [alertView tag]);
}

Handle button clicks with a code block

[alertView setOnButtonTouchUpInside:^(CustomIOSAlertView *alertView, int buttonIndex) {
    NSLog(@"Block: Button at position %d is clicked on alertView %d.", buttonIndex, [alertView tag]);
    [alertView close];
}];

You can also disable all other delegates by:

[alertView setDelegate:self]; ```

Todos

This is a really quick implementation, and there are a few things missing:

Adding more buttons: they don't exactly match the look with that of on iOS7
Rotation: rotates wrong with the keyboard on
