Custom UIAlertView with Custom Buttons

I need to show a Custom UIAlertView which is going to have an image as a background and two Custom Buttons which will be not the regular UIAlertView 开发者_开发知识库Buttons. These buttons will be customized as well and would have their own Artwork.

The example above has a background but I also want to add Custom Button on it.

I am following this guide but I don't think it address the Custom Button handling.

How to do that? Any ideas?

Apple doesn't appear to like you overly-customising UIAlertView, and I've heard of a number of occasions where they've declined an app going into the app store because of it.

Because of the extent of customisation you're after, I suggest you create your own new Alert class that animates in and has a background shadow etc with buttons that you can customise the location/look of.

I found this blog post by Jeff LaMarche to be really helpful in making custom alert views: http://iphonedevelopment.blogspot.com/2010/05/custom-alert-views.html. He goes through the steps of making a custom class since modifying UIAlertView can cause App Store rejection (however he warns that using custom techniques can still cause HIG violations, but I doubt they will for what you're trying to do). By the time you're done, you'll have a custom alert view class that can be added in much the same style as UIAlertView:

At this point, we're done. We can now use this custom alert view exactly the same way we use UIAlertView:

CustomAlertView *alert = [[CustomAlertView alloc] init];
alert.delegate = self;
[alert show];
[alert release];

He creates a custom text input view. Obviously, in your case, you would want to use a different background and instead of adding a text field you'd stick to just the buttons. Since he makes custom buttons in his view too it should cover all your needs, if not more.

Unfortunately Apple does not allow subclassing UIAlertView:

The UIAlertView class is intended to be used as-is and does not support subclassing. The view hierarchy for this class is private and must not be modified.

The easiest way would be to create your own class with similar behavior.
