I want to add text input in alert-view of ios 8. I know it was done using UIAlertController but not have any idea. How to do it ?

Answer 1

Example of implementation with Swift 3:

var textField: UITextField?

// create alertController
let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Title", message: "Message", preferredStyle: .alert)
  alertController.addTextField { (pTextField) in
  pTextField.placeholder = "usefull placeholdr"
  pTextField.clearButtonMode = .whileEditing
  pTextField.borderStyle = .none
  textField = pTextField
}

// create cancel button
alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel, handler: { (pAction) in
  alertController.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}))

// create Ok button
alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: { (pAction) in
  // when user taps OK, you get your value here
  let inputValue = textField?.text
  alertController.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}))

// show alert controller
self.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
