Adding TextField to UIAlertView

Question

I need to add a TextField to an UIAlertView. I understand that apple discourage this approach. So is there any library that i could make use of to add

Answer 1

I'm using BlockAlertsAndActionSheets instead of the Apple components for AlertViews and ActionSheets as I prefer the blocks-approach. Also contains a BlockTextPromptAlertView in the source, which might be what you want. You can replace the images of that control to get the Apple-style back.

Example:

- (IBAction)newFolder:(id)sender {
    id selfDelegate = self;
    UITextField                 *textField;
    BlockTextPromptAlertView    *alert = [BlockTextPromptAlertView  promptWithTitle :@"New Folder"
                                                                    message         :@"Please enter the name of the new folder!"
                                                                    textField       :&textField];
    [alert setCancelButtonWithTitle:@"Cancel" block:nil];
    [alert addButtonWithTitle:@"Okay" block:^{
        [selfDelegate createFolder:textField.text];
    }];
    [alert show];
}

- (void)createFolder:(NSString*)folderName {
    // do stuff
}
