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

Create the alert object as a global variable. You can use a NSTimer for this purpose.

var timer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(5.0, target: self, selector: Selector("dismissAlert"), userInfo: nil, repeats: false)


func dismissAlert()
{
    // Dismiss the alert from here
    alertView.dismissWithClickedButtonIndex(0, animated: true)

}

NOTE:

Important: UIAlertView is deprecated in iOS 8. (Note that UIAlertViewDelegate is also deprecated.) To create and manage alerts in iOS 8 and later, instead use UIAlertController with a preferredStyle of UIAlertControllerStyleAlert.
