I have an alertView that pops up when reachability has detected wifi. I have both english and french translations of this. The problem is the french version's text is a bit longer, and I do have some line breaks in there.
When the text is too long, the alertView changes to a white background with a scrollable text view. Is there any way around this? The strange thing is that this only happens on retina devices (or non-retina when in landscape, but that makes more sense). Non-retina devices show the whole message normally. It seems like retina devices having more landscape shouldn't make this happen.
Help?
Thanks in advance.
First of all retina devices would produce the same results seeing as they have the same amount of screen real-estate. The difference is in pixel density, which means that an object on retina will be the same physical size but will actually be using 4 times the pixels which produces a much clearer and sharper image.
Secondly, there is no way you can avoid this. UIAlertView is a class that Apple allows VERY little customization of, so you may be better off making a custom view and presenting it yourself. This is probably only happening in landscape mode because the alert gets less screen area under these circumstances.
So overall, I would recommend that you either create your own custom pop-up or you trim down the amount of text you're displaying in the alert.
