Hello Marco,
You can define this method in UIActionSheet deleget:

- (void)willPresentActionSheetUIActionSheet *)actionSheet{
UIImageView df = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"Someimage.png"]];
[actionSheet addSubView:df];

}

Hope my first post in this forum may come into your helps

Sorry, there is a typo, '*' is missed, plz update the following line:

UIImageView* df  = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"SomePic.png"]];

You may also need to update the frame of the image to position at the desired location and need to add "SomePic.png" as the resource

Thanks.

[funkytaco]

UIImageView *df = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"magnolia.png"]];
[actionSheet addSubView:df];

Did you mean to put the asterisk on the df, like the above code?

Still, didn't work.

Late welcome to the forums, but... welcome to the forums.

Thanks, I copy & pasted your code and it worked fine?!?!?

Use my commented version and it will crash? I must be going cross-eyed.

- (void)willPresentActionSheetUIActionSheet *)actionSheet{

UIImageView* df = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"magnolia.png"]];
[actionSheet addSubview:df];

}

/**

- (void)willPresentActionSheetUIActionSheet *)actionSheet {
UIImageView* df = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"magnolia.png"]];
[actionSheet addSubView:df];

} **/

I don't see the problem....

I'm gonna bump up your reputation, though. Thanks. Your solution works fine.

[funkytaco]

This version will resize it as shown. I have no idea how to put it at the top of the action sheet yet, though.

- (void)willPresentActionSheetUIActionSheet *)actionSheet{

UIImageView* df = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"yourpic.png"]];
df.center

[actionSheet addSubview:df];
//scale image aspect to fit image view
df.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
//change width of frame
CGRect frame = df.frame;
frame.size.width = 50;
df.frame = frame;

}

thats really tricky, not only putting any extra view on top, also to receive events.

I had to put a table view above the buttons. Though I could use a xib to make a view like actions sheet and animate up.

anyway, to put any image or view above the buttons and receive events, add that view to the actionsheet's superview. Like :


df.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 200);
[[actionSheet superview] addSubview:df];
[[actionSheet superview] sendSubviewToBack:df];


Hope it helps

I know you're probably finished with this but the only problem with your piece of code was the 'addSubview' you have used a capital 'V' when it should have been lowercase. I haven't been caught out by that one before but typos are generally a pain in my ***!

This works fine for adding an image to an action sheet. but i want to add a label to the action sheet. How should i add the label. Can i have some sample code..

Thanks in advance.

[AmanApps]

it should also work for labels. What error it gives?

It is not giving any errors but when we dismiss the action sheet the label is not dismissed with the action sheet. The label dismissed after action sheet got dismissed. that is my problem..

Thanks for the reply.

[AmanApps]

oh, understood. we were adding the imageview to the background of the actionsheet bu this line:

[[actionSheet superview] addSubview:df];

try this line instead:

[actionSheet  addSubview:yourlabel];

Does this work now?

No its not working..if we addSubview directly to the actionsheet, now its not even displaying the label..

I have another question, how can i change the font size of the action sheet title..

[AmanApps]

not sure if it is possible.

Here is some code that adds a green check mark image to an action sheet, centered and with same spacing as the default action sheet. The image is pure decoration - it does not respond to user touches. The code is specific to my application so you will need to adapt it as necessary.

In some method that initiates the display of the action sheet (I'm triggering off of an NSNotification but it could be any method):

- (void)notifyShowSuccessActionSheet:(NSNotification *) notification {
	
	NSLog(@"In ETITMainViewController notifyShowSuccessActionSheet\n");
	
	UIActionSheet *successActionSheet = [[[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:nil 
																	delegate:self 
														   cancelButtonTitle:nil 
													  destructiveButtonTitle:nil 
														   otherButtonTitles:@"Do More", @"Done", @"Another Test?", @"Yet Another", nil] autorelease];
	[successActionSheet setOpaque:NO];
	[successActionSheet setAlpha:0.8];
	[successActionSheet showFromToolbar:[[self naviController] toolbar]];
	
}

...and in willPresentActionSheet:

- (void)willPresentActionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet {
	
	UIImageView* successImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"CheckMark64.png"]];
	NSInteger itemPadding;
	NSInteger topPadding = [[[actionSheet subviews] objectAtIndex:0] frame].origin.y;
	
	if ([[actionSheet subviews] count] > 1) {
		itemPadding = [[[actionSheet subviews] objectAtIndex:1] frame].origin.y 
		- ([[[actionSheet subviews] objectAtIndex:0] frame].origin.y 
		   + [[[actionSheet subviews] objectAtIndex:0] frame].size.height);
	}
	else {
		itemPadding = [[[actionSheet subviews] objectAtIndex:0] frame].size.height / 4;
	}

	// resize action sheet frame to make space for image
	[actionSheet setFrame:CGRectMake([actionSheet frame].origin.x, 
									 [actionSheet frame].origin.y, 
									 [actionSheet frame].size.width, 
									 [actionSheet frame].size.height + [successImageView frame].size.height + itemPadding)];
	 
	 // re-position buttons
	 for (UIControl *button in [actionSheet subviews]) {
		
		[button setFrame:CGRectMake([button frame].origin.x, 
									[button frame].origin.y + [successImageView frame].size.height + itemPadding, 
									[button frame].size.width, 
									[button frame].size.height)];
	}
	
	[successImageView setFrame:CGRectMake(([[actionSheet superview] frame].size.width / 2) - [successImageView frame].size.width / 2, 
										  topPadding, 
										  [successImageView frame].size.width, 
										  [successImageView frame].size.height)];
	
	[actionSheet addSubview:successImageView];
	
}

Thanks very much for that code. Very helpful.
However, this isn't doing what I had hoped.
I'm implementing the actionsheet

UIActionSheet *alert = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:nil delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:@"Yes",@"No",nil];
		[alert showInView:self.view];
		[alert release];

The delegate method adds the image and pushes the buttons lower. The buttons are so low, in fact, that you can't see them. Can you point me in the direction of changing the verticle position of the actionsheet so that I can see the image and all the buttons? Thanks again.
