I am using this code to show UIAlert which will ask simple input
UIAlertController *alert = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:@"Alert" message:@"Message" preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];
[alert addAction:[UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:@"Click" style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault handler:nil]];
[alert addTextFieldWithConfigurationHandler:^(UITextField *textField) {
textField.placeholder = @"Enter text:";
}];
[self presentViewController:alert animated:YES completion:nil];
Also tried this code of iOS 7
UIAlertView *alertViewCustomQuestion=[[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"Custom Question" message:@"Please enter your custom question!" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:@"Ok",nil];
alertViewCustomQuestion.alertViewStyle=UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput;
[alertViewCustomQuestion show];
Both shows same result. While any example I saw has good width.
I was fixing bugs of someone's else code, Finally found there was some category that was changing its behavior.
