Allow creating an alert queue about sdcalertview HOT 13 CLOSED

I have done a similar implementation myself for my company and my recommendation is to create a separate UIWindow for the alerts. It then makes rotation and queing very simple. With this implementation you will have problems to display alerts on top of popovers / modal controllers.

I'm interested to see how that works. My current work in progress (7e6b9fb) uses the same UIWindow for multiple alerts, just like UIAlertView does. The problem right now is that auto-layout doesn't move a previously shown alert until after the re-appearing animations have finished (which makes it jump). When presenting a brand new alert, this doesn't happen because auto-layout happens earlier. So multiple UIWindows would solve that problem, but since I'm pretty close figuring it out with just one window, I want to put some more effort in that first.

Sorry for bringing this up from 4 years ago - but is this implemented in the new UIAlertController-like API?

from sdcalertview.

Unfortunately it is not 😕

Thanks. Is the way to do it is via multiple UIWindows?

from sdcalertview.

No the current way to do it is to present the next alert from the previous one, which might work for you but is far from ideal.

Why not with different UIWindows?

Sure that could work as well, but is probably more work as you have to manage all these windows somehow.

Displaying the next alert from the previous one is also not very straight-forward - you'd need a queue for the next alerts, something that drains it when the presentation is done (if you'll present while a presentation is not complete you'll get an error).

from sdcalertview.

Yep for sure. Depends a bit on the use-case: if you want to be able to show to alerts right after each other I wouldn't start juggling windows, but if you have N alerts that could show at any given point you might have to write some abstractions to make it nice.

Ideally this is just part of the library but I ran into some tricky stuff and was never able to solve all problems/edge cases. Since nobody really seemed to care too much about the lack of this functionality I eventually stopped pursuing it.

It would be very nice to have as part of the library :)
My use-case is that I want to display alerts one after the other, without the user accepting any alert (meaning just blasting a bunch of alerts to the screen that the user then needs to handle/dismiss one at a time).
The thing is, is I get a notification from the system (open URL) and need to show an alert. Then after a very short while I get another one, while the first alert is still in the presentation process (but not yet presented). And then, I'm in a problem - How can I queue the 2nd alert to present immediately after the first one completed presenting?

Yeah it’s a tough case that’s unfortunately unsupported and pretty hard to get right so I’m afraid I don’t have a good answer at the moment.
