UIAlertView not displaying complete message


I have the following function to display error messages to user. But it does not seem to show the complete message. It will display upto certain characters followed by ....

How can I make it show the entire message?

(void) showAlert:(NSString*)title forMessage:(NSString*) body
{
    UIAlertView* alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:title message:body delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
    [alertView show];
    [alertView release];
}

Solution

  • There is a way.

    When you present your alert, you can just implement this method:

    - (void)willPresentAlertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView {
    alertView.frame = CGRectMake(alertView.frame.origin.x, alertView.frame.origin.y -50
                                 ,alertView.frame.size.width, 300);
    }
    

    Adjust the height to fit your need. It will look something like this:

    alt text

    If you need to move the button around, you can just add new lines (\n) to your message, and it will move the button down.
