Two UIAlertView consecutively in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions - objective-c

Question

I want two alert views to show up only when the user opens my application for the first time -- the second to appear after the first is dismissed. I have it set up to only show the UIAlertViews when it has not been shown before and I do not need help with this. I need help figuring out how to display two alert views in a row when this is the case.
-(void) alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex does not work for me.
Here is the code I have -- remember this is in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
BOOL didFirstLaunch = [defaults boolForKey:#"DidFirstLaunch"];
if (!didFirstLaunch) {
[defaults setBool:YES forKey:#"DidFirstLaunch"];
UIAlertView *successAlert = //not important
[successAlert show];
[successAlert release];
//Somehow show second alert after the first is dismissed
}

I'm gonna post a very simple solution using GCD & blocks (GCD part is just in case the alert view is created on another thread then the main thread, callback should be safe to perform on the main thread). Remember, I just coded this in like 5 mins, so you definitely should work on improving the code. One thing that's a bit ugly is the delegate parameter that is overridden in my subclass. The interface of the subclass could be changed a bit to make it more obvious of what happens ...
Anyway, here goes ...
First create a subclass of UIAlertView, make it look somewhat like the following ...
#interface FSAlertView () <UIAlertViewDelegate>
#property (nonatomic, copy) void (^dismissHandler)(NSInteger buttonIndex);
#end
#implementation FSAlertView
#synthesize dismissHandler = _dismissHandler;
- (void)showWithDismissHandler:(void (^)(NSInteger buttonIndex))dismissHandler
{
self.dismissHandler = dismissHandler;
self.delegate = self;
[self show];
}
// Alert view delegate
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^ {
if (_dismissHandler)
{
_dismissHandler(buttonIndex);
}
});
}
Now in the app we can create alert views like the following ...
FSAlertView *alert1 = [[FSAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Alert 1"
message:#"Some message"
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel"
otherButtonTitles:#"Show 2nd Alert", nil];
[alert1 showWithDismissHandler:^ (NSInteger buttonIndex) {
NSLog(#"button pressed: %d", buttonIndex);
if (buttonIndex == 1)
{
UIAlertView *alert2 = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Alert 2"
message:#"Hi!"
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK"
otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert2 show];
}
}];

If i understand your question correctly , then this may help:
UIAlertView *firstAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Alert 1" message:nil delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
[firstAlert show];
[self performSelector:#selector(test:) withObject:firstAlert afterDelay:2];
[firstAlert release];
UIAlertView *secondAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Alert 2" message:nil delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
[secondAlert show];
[self performSelector:#selector(test:) withObject:secondAlert afterDelay:2];
[secondAlert release];
-(void)test:(UIAlertView*)alert{
[alert dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:-1 animated:YES];
}
This will show two alert views one after the other.
NOTE: I am not sure if you are dismissing the alerts with cancel button so i am dismissing them automatically after few seconds.

Try this:
UIAlertView *firstAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Title" message:#"Message" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:#"Ok", nil];
[firstAlert setTag:444];
[firstAlert show];
firstAlert = nil;
AlertView Delegate Method:
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
switch (alertView.tag) {
case 444:
{
//Cancel ButtonIndex = 0
if (buttonIndex == 1) {
UIAlertView *secondAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Title 2" message:#"Message2" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:#"Dismiss", nil];
[secondAlert setTag:555];
[secondAlert show];
secondAlert = nil;
}
}
break;
case 555:
{
if (buttonIndex == 1) {
NSLog(#"Code Here");
}
}
break;
}
}
