Check if a UIAlertView is showing

Question

I have a method that posts HTTP data and displays a UIAlertView if there is an error. If I have multiple HTTP post I will show multiple UIAlertView for every error.

Answer 1

Why not just check the visible property, maintained by the UIAlertView class?

if (_alert) //alert is a retained property
{
    self.alert = [[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Your Title"
                                             message:@"Your message" 
                                            delegate:self
                                   cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel"
                                   otherButtonTitles:@"OK"] autorelease];
}
if (!_alert.visible)
{
    [_alert show];
}
