How to add an action to a UIAlertView button using Swift iOS

Question

I want to add another button other than the \"OK\" button which should just dismiss the alert. I want the other button to call a certain function.

var logInE

UIAlertViews use a delegate to communicate with you, the client.

You add a second button, and you create an object to receive the delegate messages from the view:

class LogInErrorDelegate : UIAlertViewDelegate {

    init {}

    // not sure of the prototype of this, you should look it up
    func alertView(view :UIAlertView, clickedButtonAtIndex :Integer) -> Void {
        switch clickedButtonAtIndex {
            case 0: 
               userClickedOK() // er something
            case 1:
               userClickedRetry()
              /* Don't use "retry" as a function name, it's a reserved word */

            default:
               userClickedRetry()
        }
    }

    /* implement rest of the delegate */
}
logInErrorAlert.addButtonWithTitle("Retry")

var myErrorDelegate = LogInErrorDelegate()
logInErrorAlert.delegate = myErrorDelegate
