Question

I have a tableview which, when loaded, each cell could possibly return an NSError, which I have chosen to display in a UIAlertController. Problem is I get this error in the

Answer 1

I found I needed to create a queue to stack the UIAlertController requests.

NSMutableArray *errorMessagesToShow; // in @interface
errorMessagesToShow=[[NSMutableArray alloc] init];  // in init

-(void)showError:(NSString *)theErrorMessage{
    if(theErrorMessage.length>0){
        [errorMessagesToShow addObject:theErrorMessage];
        [self showError1];
    }
}
-(void)showError1{
    NSString *theErrorMessage;
    if([errorMessagesToShow count]==0)return; // queue finished

    UIViewController* parentController =[[UIApplication sharedApplication]keyWindow].rootViewController;
    while( parentController.presentedViewController &&
      parentController != parentController.presentedViewController ){
        parentController = parentController.presentedViewController;
    }
    if([parentController isKindOfClass:[UIAlertController class]])return;  // busy

    // construct the alert using [errorMessagesToShow objectAtIndex:0]
    //  add to each UIAlertAction completionHandler [self showError1];
    //   then

    [errorMessagesToShow removeObjectAtIndex:0];
    [parentController presentViewController:alert animated:YES completion:nil]; 
}
