In my iOS app’s Settings screen, there is one setting which is quite fundamental. I wish to inform users about this with a UIAlertView.

Preferably I would display this when the back button is pressed (and thus they are finished editing their settings). However, is this possible, or even allowed by Apple? If so, how?

My second choice would be to show the UIAlertView as soon as the setting is changed, but if this is possible its not really a preference. And if it is possible, how do I do it?

Edit – 2nd August 2012 : My app has its own Settings screen in addition to the built in Settings screen, so my question applies to both screens. Also, note that the setting is a UISwitch.

Also, I preferably would like a cancel button on the UIAlertView that allows the user to NOT leave the settings screen once they have read the warning. Is this possible?

    As of yet I do not believe my aim is possible on the traditional settings screen.

    On my own settings screen, a UIAlertView is possible when the back button is pressed. The solution can be found here. However, it breaks the parts of my app which automatically pop screens without the user pressing the back button.

    I therefore simply have made a UIAlertView pop up when the setting itself is changed. I haven’t included a ‘cancel’ button on the pop up.

    Further alternative answers here on Stack Overflow, however, will be welcome!
