Dismiss UIAlertView after 5 Seconds Swift

Question

I\'ve created a UIAlertView that contains a UIActivityIndicator. Everything works great, but I\'d also like the UIAlertView to disappear after 5 seconds.

Ho

Answer 1

You can dismiss your UIAlertView after a 5 second delay programmatically, like so:

alert.show()

// Delay the dismissal by 5 seconds
let delay = 5.0 * Double(NSEC_PER_SEC)
var time = dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, Int64(delay))
dispatch_after(time, dispatch_get_main_queue(), {
    alert.dismissWithClickedButtonIndex(-1, animated: true)
})
