UIAlertView not firing, after UIActionSheet is displayed

Question

I have been searching high and low for the answer to my issue. You see I have a UIActionSheet and I am firing it off when the user tries to press a button that they aren't supposed to: it works great, but I am trying to fire of a UIAlert letting the user know the current operation has been stopped and they need to press "Continue" ... my problem is in my - (void) actionSheet .... either the method is not called by the actionSheet or the buttonIndex is not set correctly.

.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface DVRRemote : UIViewController <UIActionSheetDelegate>
@property (nonatomic) BOOL pwrOff;
@property (nonatomic) BOOL dvrState;
@property (nonatomic) BOOL playState;
@property (nonatomic) BOOL rcdState;
@property (nonatomic) BOOL rcdPlay;
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UISwitch *pwrSwitch;
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *dvrStateLbl;
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *PwrLbl;
- (IBAction)buttonPressed:(UIButton *)sender;
- (IBAction)pwrPressed:(UISwitch *)sender;
@end

and here is the code UIActionSheet and UIAlertView ... please help. This work is already two weeks overdue.

.m

-(IBAction)buttonPressed:(UIButton*)sender
{
    if (_pwrOff == NO)
    {
        if (_rcdPlay == NO)
        {
            if ([sender.currentTitle isEqual: @"Play"])
            {
                _dvrStateLbl.text = @"Playing";
                _playState = YES;
                _rcdState = NO;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            UIActionSheet *actionSheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:@"Play not Allowed during Record" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" destructiveButtonTitle:@"Continue" otherButtonTitles:nil];
            [actionSheet showInView: self.view];
        }
    }
}

-(void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet*)actionSheet didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
    if (buttonIndex != [actionSheet cancelButtonIndex])
    {
        UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Playing" message:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Recording stopped"] delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"ok"  otherButtonTitles:nil];
        [alert show];
    }
}

please note: I have coded the alert under every buttonIndex == 0, == 1, == 2 ... it does not want to show.

Big thanks to someone who can help! Regards,

You need to set your delegate to your view controller (the object that you want to receive your action sheet delegate methods) via:

UIActionSheet *actionSheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:@"Play not Allowed during Record" 
    delegate:self 
    cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" 
    destructiveButtonTitle:@"Continue" 
    otherButtonTitles:nil];
