Question

I need make UIAlertView blocking. Because i have function and i need to return UIAlertView choice. But problem is that after UIAlertView is shown my function code is executing further so i can’t catch UIAlertView choice (i can do it in delegate methods, but i need to return function result).

I tried to make UIAlertVIew blocking with NSCondition. But the code don’t works.

condition = [NSCondition new];
result = 0 ; 
[condition lock];
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Fingerprint" message:@"test" delegate:window_self cancelButtonTitle:@"No" otherButtonTitles:@"Yes",nil];
[alert setDelegate:self];
[alert show];
while (result == 0) [condition wait];
[condition unlock] ;

- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
 [condition lock] ;
 if (buttonIndex == 0)
 {
  result = 2; 
 }
 else if (buttonIndex == 1)
 {
  result = 3 ;
 }
 [condition signal] ;
 [condition unlock] ;
}

Maybe how to fix this code or any other suggestions ? Thanks

There’s no way to achieve what you want. Only through the delegate. You should redesign your function or refuse using UIAlertView
