I am using a UIAlertView in my code in iOS5, but rather than the classic popup window with an “OK” button to exit, I’d prefer to have my alert show as a banner at the top of the screen that eventually fades away.
Is it possible to change the style of UIAlertView to resemble the iOS 5 push notification banner or does it have to be a popup window that must be dismissed manually? If not, is there any way to use the iOS5 banner notification rather than an alert notification? I don’t need to send a push notification but just need to alert the user of something that happens on the server side using the app.
Not using the SDK. You’ll have to design and implement that by yourself.
