How to get UIAlertController over UIView in Objective C?


I am new to iOS Programming, I have Implemented UITableViewController and getting that tableViewController design on my homepage like a popup, Backside I added Blur effect between homepage and tableViewController. Both blur effect view and UITableView are added as subviews in main screen.

Here is my problem:

When I'm validating UITextfields of tableViewController, alertController is appearing backside of blur effect and tableViewController, I need that over tableViewController.

How can I get??

I used below Code for blur effect and tableView:

UIVisualEffect *blurEffect;
blurEffect = [UIBlurEffect effectWithStyle:UIBlurEffectStyleDark];
visualEffectView = [[UIVisualEffectView alloc] initWithEffect:blurEffect];        
visualEffectView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height);
[[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow addSubview:visualEffectView];

UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Main" bundle:nil];
viewaccept = (AcceptViewController *)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"AcceptViewController"];
[viewaccept willMoveToParentViewController:self];

CGRect screen = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];
CGRect newFrame = CGRectMake(0,screen.size.height/4, self.view.frame.size.width, 350);
UIEdgeInsets insets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0,10,0,10);

viewaccept.view.frame = UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(newFrame,insets);
CGRect splitframe = viewaccept.view.frame;
[viewaccept.view setFrame:splitframe];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow addSubview:viewaccept.view];
[self addChildViewController:viewaccept];
[viewaccept didMoveToParentViewController:self];

I used below code to show alert:

 NSString *message = @"Email Id is already registered";
 UIAlertController *alert = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:nil message:message preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];
 [self presentViewController:alert animated:YES completion:nil];

 int duration = 3; // duration in seconds
 dispatch_after(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, duration * NSEC_PER_SEC), dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
     [alert dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
 });

Solution

  • Try this

    UIWindow* topWindow = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds];
    topWindow.rootViewController = [UIViewController new];
    topWindow.windowLevel = UIWindowLevelAlert + 1;
    
    UIAlertController* alert = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:@"Title" message:@"Your Message" preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];
    
    [alert addAction:[UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"OK",@"confirm") style:UIAlertActionStyleCancel handler:^(UIAlertAction * _Nonnull action) {
      // continue your work
    
    // important to hide the window after work completed.
    // this also keeps a reference to the window until the action is invoked.
    topWindow.hidden = YES;
    }]];
    
    [topWindow makeKeyAndVisible];
    [topWindow.rootViewController presentViewController:alert animated:YES completion:nil];
