IPhone Programming: Action triggered by clicking on alert.

Question

Hey Guys,
I have what I suspect should be a pretty easy question.
I'm still working on a Blackjack program. Basically the player goes to hit or stand, and then the game automatically has the dealer deal itself (hit on 16, stand on 17).
Once the dealer is done dealing I want you an alert to come up. But I only want to call the routine after the user hits the OK button on the alert.
How can I go about doing this. I know with an Action Sheet you can trigger something to happen when a given button is pressed, but I want to really be able to do this with an alert. The way I would think this would be done is to see when the user taps the Ok button in the alert. Any idea how to do this?
Thanks!
Justin

Answer 1

Can you provide me a code example of how this would work (the alertDidEndSelector)?
I ask this because apparently you can't really use an NSAlert with the iPhone (I keep getting NSAlert undeclared errors), so that eliminates that way of doing it.
Thanks!

Edit:
One other thing I noticed is that you could do this
UIAlertView *myAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Alert title" message:@"alert message" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:@"Ok", nil];
[myAlert addTextFieldWithValue:nil label:@"<place holder>"];
[[myAlert textField] setTextAlignment:UITextAlignmentCenter];
[[myAlert textField] becomeFirstResponder];
[myAlert show];
[myAlert release];
myAlert = nil;
And also have this...
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
switch(buttonIndex) {
case 0:
[myString setText:@"Cancel button pressed"];
break;
case 1:
[myString setText:[[alertView textField] text]];
break;
The only problem is for me...I don't know how I would handle input from multiple different alertViews that I have in my program. Any ideas?
Thanks!
