Custom iOS7 AlertView

The addSubview method is not available in UIAlertView in iOS7 any more. The view hierarchy for this class is private and must not be modified.

As a solution, this class creates an iOS7-style AlertView for which you can supply your own buttons and UIView for the content. The animations and the looks are copied too and no images or other resources are needed.

Installation

It's as simple as adding the following file to your project:

• CustomIOS7AlertView.swift

Support

Only iOS 7 and newer.

Quick start guide

1. Create a CustomIOS7AlertView instance:

let alertView = CustomIOS7AlertView()

2. Add some custom content to the alert view:

alertView.containerView = UIView(...)

3. Set a callback

Using a delegate: (see the properties for the protocol)

alertView.delegate = self

Or a closure:

alertView.onButtonTouchUpInside = {
  (alertView: CustomIOS7AlertView, buttonIndex: Int) -> Void in

  println("Closure says: Button with index \(buttonIndex) has been touched!")
}

4. Display the alertView:

alertView.show()

Functions

• show() Shows the alertView

• show(completion: ((Bool) -> Void)?) Shows the alertView then runs completion

• close() Closes the alertView

• close(completion: ((Bool) -> Void)?) Closes the alertView then runs completion

• setButtonEnabled(enabled: Bool, buttonName: String) Enables or disables a button. Make sure you call this after show()

• buttonsDividerHeight: CGFloat The height of the buttons divider. Default: 1

protocol CustomIOS7AlertViewDelegate: class {
  func customIOS7AlertViewButtonTouchUpInside(alertView: CustomIOS7AlertView, buttonIndex: Int)
}
