How to change button text color of UIAlertView in iOS7?


iOS7 introduced general tint-color. I think UIAlertView is also in the valid range, but actually tintColor doesn't look to work with UIAlertView. (for tappable button text color)

Is it possible to change the tint-color of alert view? If possible, how to change it?


Solution

  • Unfortunately you cannot customize the appearance of alert views, it is impossible to change the buttons text color.

    It is mentioned clearly in UIAlertView Class Reference:

    The UIAlertView class is intended to be used as-is and does not support subclassing. The view hierarchy for this class is private and must not be modified.

    Update:

    The question was about iOS7, but now UIAlertView is deprecated, for UIAlertController you can simply change the view tint color:

        let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Gimme a break",
                                    message: "For God sake its iOS7 question!",
                             preferredStyle: .alert)
        alert.view.tintColor = UIColor.red
