Question

I have this code in the main view controller and it is working just fine and as I wanted.

loadingActionSheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:@"Posting To Twitter..."
                                                 delegate:nil
                                        cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel"
                                   destructiveButtonTitle:nil 
                                        otherButtonTitles:nil];

[loadingActionSheet showInView:self.view];

I wanted that code to be reusable from different part of the project so I moved it in a separate file (UIView based).

The poblem that I am facing is that self.view is not available there and I don’t know why because I am learning and I don’t know enough to understand what I am missing.

What do I have to do/add/change to have the actionsheet shown in my current view even if that code lives somewhere else?

Do you mean something like this?:

void actionSheetShownIn(UIView *target) {
  UIActionSheet *loadingActionSheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:@"Posting To Twitter..."
                                             delegate:nil
                                    cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel"
                               destructiveButtonTitle:nil 
                                    otherButtonTitles:nil];

  [loadingActionSheet showInView: target];
}
