Error showing a UIAlertView in swift

Question

Im trying to show a UIAlertView in my swift App

    alert = UIAlertView(title: \"\",
        message: \"bla\",
        delegate: self,
        cancelButtonTitle:

Even though UIAlertView is depreciated in iOS8, you can get away with using it but not through it's init function. For example:

    var alert = UIAlertView()
    alert.title = "Title"
    alert.message = "message"
    alert.show()

Atleast this is the only way so far I've been able to successfully use an UIAlertView. I'm unsure on how safe this is though.
