UIBarButtonItem and UIAlertView

[nenos]

Hey,

I'd like to know how to make an UIAlertView pop up when someone touches on an UIBarButtonItem.

Thanks.

Create the button and name it whatever. Add a new action. Create an AlertView inside the action, like so.

- (IBAction)actionName {
    UIAlertView *aboutScreen = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"About" message:@"(C) Froot\nThis app was made by..." delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
	[aboutScreen show];
}

Thanks Steaps,

Sorry I'm new to development. How do I connect the action in Interface Builder to the button?

Oh i'm new too, trust me . That was just one of the things i actually know how to do. Anyways:

First, you create a new action like so (Click the little +):


Second switch tabs to the second tab, then drag from here to there:

Then File -> Write Class Files

Then in your class files, go to the "<YourView>.m" file and the action will be there, paste this:

    UIAlertView *aboutScreen = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"About" message:@"(C) Froot\nThis app was made by..." delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
	[aboutScreen show];
        [aboutScreen release];

Inside the action, and there you go.
