Question

I have an UIAlertView with UITextView.
on ViewDidAppear I do [textView setText:] with a large text, but the alert shows an empty textView, and only after I touch the textView to scroll, the text appears.

What should I do in order to make the text appear in the textView in the alert, without scrolling it to “refresh” it?

Thanks!

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewDidAppear:animated];



    av = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"Terms of Service" message:@"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Disagree" otherButtonTitles:@"Agree",nil];


    UITextView *myTextView = [[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(12, 50, 260, 142)];


    [myTextView setTextAlignment:UITextAlignmentCenter];
    [myTextView setEditable:NO];

    myTextView.layer.borderWidth = 2.0f;
    myTextView.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor darkGrayColor] CGColor];
    myTextView.layer.cornerRadius = 13;
    myTextView.clipsToBounds = YES ;

    [myTextView setText:@"LONG LONG TEXT"];

    [av addSubview:myTextView];

    [myTextView release];

    [av setTag:1];


    [av show];

}

This is because you have initially set message as @”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n” for UIAlertView. Set your UITextView first and then set UIAlertView‘s message as textView’s text.
