Adding Multiple Alerts to a Single Alert View in Xcode


First off I am fairly new to xcode. I am trying to add multiple alerts to a single view. I am creating a form for an ipad which allows the users to enter in information into text boxes. Since there are multiple text boxes that are required to fill out, I don't want multiple alert boxes to pop up displaying every error, but instead I want one alert view to show multiple errors. the commented code down below is how I imagine it might be written

- (IBAction)showMessage:(id)sender {
UIAlertView *message = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Name" //"Address" 
                                   //if name=nil  message:@"PLease fill out your name"
                               //if address=nilmessage:@"PLease fill out your address"



delegate:nil
                                        cancelButtonTitle:@"OK"
                                        otherButtonTitles:nil];

[message show];

}

*Is it possible to put if statements before and after the messages to be able to do this?


Solution

  • Do it like this:

    - (IBAction)showMessage:(id)sender {
            NSString *theMessage = @"";
            if (textField.text.length == 0) {
            theMessage = @"hey";
            } else if (textField2.text.length == 0) {
            theMessage = @"hey2";
            } else if (textField.text.length == 0) && (textField2.text.length == 0) {
            theMessage = @"doubleHey";
            }
    
            UIAlertView *message = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Name"
                                                    message:theMessage
                                                    delegate:nil
                                                    cancelButtonTitle:@"OK"
                                                    otherButtonTitles:nil];  
            [message show];
            [message release];
    }
