native.showAlert

Hi there,

I am struggling a little bit with using native.showAlert. I can use one quite happily, but sometimes one of my alerts can end up calling another one - at which point my app crashes in the simulator, and I get warnings in the terminal window:
[lua]: kCGErrorIllegalArgument: _CGSFindSharedWindow: WID 1212[/lua]

I have simplified my code so that you can see exactly what is happening:

[lua]local alert1, alert2
local fAlertClick1, fCallAlert2

fAlertClick1 = function(event)
fCallAlert2()
end

fCallAlert2 = function()
alert2 = native.showAlert(“Two”, “Hello Alert 2”, {“OK”})
end

alert1 = native.showAlert(“One”, “Hello Alert 1”, {“OK”}, fAlertClick1)[/lua]

I have tried using native.cancelAlert, but this doesn’t help.
Can anyone help me?
Is this possible??

Many thanks

Chaining alerts crashes on the simulator but try compiling for the Xcode simulator and you’ll see that it works fine. [import]uid: 22829 topic_id: 14906 reply_id: 55101[/import]

Hoan,

Thats great!!

I hadn’t thought to try it in the Xcode simulator (or on the device) for that matter.

Wonderful news, thank you for letting me know
