Question

I have an actionSheet with EDIT and DELETE buttons, both being other buttons This is the Code i have written for it

-(void)method1
{

    action = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:nil delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil     destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:@"Edit", @"Delete", nil];
     action.actionSheetStyle = UIActionSheetStyleBlackTranslucent;
    [action showInView:self.view];
    [action release]; 

}

I have used the deleate method to assign actions to method..

-(void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)action didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
    if(buttonIndex == 0)
    {
        // do something
    }
    if(buttonIndex == 1)
    {
        // do something
    }
}

now the problem is that the actionsheet does not dismiss at one click of either of the buttons.. Please help me with some solution.

Answer 1

This appears to be a bug in iOS4.0. I had this issue in my simulator. I changed the version to 4.3 and 5.0 and it seemed ok.

Edit:

Seems that my issue was more specifically to do with the actionsheet being launched twice by a delegate method “-(BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField”

Not sure why this is called twice in this case but not others (again I assume a iOS 4.0 bug that’s been fixed in later releases). My workaround is to keep track if it’s been called already and not call it a second time.

Edit 2

I would suggest doing something like:

-(void)method1
{
    if(hasLaunchedActionSheet)
    {
        return;
    }

    hasLaunchedActionSheet = YES;
    ...

and:

-(void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)action didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
    hasLaunchedActionSheet = NO;
    ...

For me, the issue’s not so much in Xcode as it is in the iOS SDK itself calling my event twice. I’m not sure how you’re calling method1 so it might be a different issue with a different event.
