Question

I’m looking for a way to add a multiline UITextView to an UIAlertView. I googled a lot, but I couldn’t find a working solution.

I’m using iOS 5.

Or is that only possible with a subclass of UIAlertView?

EDIT: I need a multiple-line input.

Editing UIAlertViews is flagged as bad practice by apple. So its probably best to create your own custom UIViewController which looks like an alert view.

Make it so that instead of your function calling an alert, it loads your new View controller

This is a good example of an animation for your UIViewController to make it act like a typical IOS AlertView

  -(void)initialDelayEnded {
self.view.transform = CGAffineTransformScale(CGAffineTransformIdentity, 0.001, 0.001);
self.view.alpha = 1.0;
[UIView animateWithDuration:kTransitionDuration/1.5 animations:^{
    self.view.transform = CGAffineTransformScale(CGAffineTransformIdentity, 1.1, 1.1);
}completion:^(BOOL complete){
    [UIView animateWithDuration:kTransitionDuration/2 animations:^{
        self.view.transform = CGAffineTransformScale(CGAffineTransformIdentity, 0.9, 0.9);
    }completion:^(BOOL complete){
        [UIView animateWithDuration:kTransitionDuration/2 animations:^{
            self.view.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
        }];
    }];
}];

}
