Show an image in the alert body of a local notification

Question

I am using Local Notifications, but I want to put an image in the message body of the alert. How can I do that?

Answer 1

I also searched for the same question. And found that we can't customize the UILocalNotification, so I handled this in application:didReceiveLocalNotification: by showing custom UIAlertView.

Answer 2

This should work. Give it a whirl:

UIAlertView *successAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:title 
                                                       message:message 
                                                      delegate:nil
                                             cancelButtonTitle:@"OK"
                                             otherButtonTitles:nil];

    UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(220, 10, 40, 40)];

    UIImage *smiley= [UIImage imageNamed:@"smiley.png"];
    [imageView setImage:smiley];
    [smiley release];

    [successAlert addSubview:imageView];
    [imageView release];

    [successAlert show];
    [successAlert release];

Good luck,

If you are using simple images like question mark, notification, etc. I suggest Ext JS which has a Icon type alert.

You can add your images as well.
