Question

i have made an alert:

UIAlertView *alert1 = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"mymaths.co.uk" message:@"This is a great website for maths exercises!! Have fun!!\n\rIf you prefer to view the website in Safari just press \"Safari\"" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Ok" otherButtonTitles: @"Safari",nil];
    [alert1 show];

As you can see, my second button is called “Safari”, and it is delegated through this code:

-(void) alertView: (UIAlertView *)alert1: clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://google.com"]];

}

But now if I click Ok (the cancel button) it opens safari, and if I click Safari, it opens safari as well.
if I write:

-(void) alertView: (UIAlertView *)otherButtonTitles Safari: clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://google.com"]];

}

both buttons cancel.
How can I fix this? the aim is to press “OK” that cancels, and “Safari” to open safari

Handle the alert view delegates with button indexes in the below function that will do,

- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
    if (buttonIndex == 0)
    {
        NSLog(@"Cancel");
    }
    else
    {
        NSLog(@"Safari");
    }
}
