An alert dialog is a modal view that includes an optional title, a message and buttons, positioned in the middle of the display.

AndroidiOSWindows Phone

An alert dialog is created using Titanium.UI.createAlertDialog or <AlertDialog> Alloy element.

Although this dialog always appears in the middle of the display (not touching the edges), other aspects of its aesthetics and the way the user interacts with it are different for each platform, as described below.

Android

On Android, the default alert dialog displays text information, via a title and message, without any buttons. As the user can use the system hardware back button to dismiss it, a button is optional.

Buttons are shown if the buttonNames property is defined, and are rendered horizontally below the message.

To create a custom layout, a view may be added and, in turn, a hierarchy of views added to that child view.

iOS

On iOS, the default alert dialog displays text information, via a title and message, with a single button to allow it to be dismissed.

Buttons are defined using the buttonNames property and are rendered vertically below the message. Alert dialogs are automatically cancelled when the application is paused/suspended. This behavior can avoided by setting persistent property on alert dialog to be true.

The style property can be used to allow the user to enter plain text, obscured text or login identifier and password. Entered values can be captured with listening cancel event.

Starting at Titanium SDK 5.1.0, you can also specify the placeholder, keyboardType and returnKeyType properties when using the alert dialog style Titanium.UI.iOS.AlertDialogStyle.PLAIN_TEXT_INPUT or Titanium.UI.iOS.AlertDialogStyle.SECURE_TEXT_INPUT. When using the alert dialog style Titanium.UI.iOS.AlertDialogStyle.LOGIN_AND_PASSWORD_INPUT, you can specify the loginPlaceholder, loginKeyboardType and loginReturnKeyType properties for the login field, as well as the passwordPlaceholder, passwordKeyboardType and passwordReturnKeyType properties for the password field.

Global Alias

A global method alert() is aliased to this object, and can be invoked with a single message. For example

alert('this is a message');

This will generate an alert with a title of "Alert" and an "OK" button.

Caveats

Multiple alerts should not be shown at once.

The title and ok properties cannot be changed while the alert dialog is being displayed. On Android only, you can change the message property while the alert dialog is being displayed.

Examples

Single-button Alert Dialog (using alias)

Create a single-button alert dialog using the global alert() alias.

Ti.UI.setBackgroundColor('white');
var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
  title: 'Click window to test',
  backgroundColor: 'white',
  exitOnClose: true,
  fullscreen: false
});

win.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
  alert('The file has been deleted');
});
win.open();

Single-button Alert Dialog (standard)

Create a single-button alert dialog, without explicitly defining it using the buttonNames property, which is invoked when the app window is clicked.

Ti.UI.setBackgroundColor('white');
var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
  title: 'Click window to test',
  backgroundColor: 'white',
exitOnClose: true,
fullscreen: false
});

win.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
  var dialog = Ti.UI.createAlertDialog({
    message: 'The file has been deleted',
    ok: 'Okay',
    title: 'File Deleted'
  });
  dialog.show();
});
win.open();

Three-button Alert Dialog

Create a three-button alert dialog, which is invoked when the app window is clicked. Output a message to the log when the cancel button is clicked.

Ti.UI.setBackgroundColor('white');
var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
  title: 'Click window to test',
  backgroundColor: 'white',
  exitOnClose: true,
  fullscreen: false
});
win.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
  var dialog = Ti.UI.createAlertDialog({
    cancel: 1,
    buttonNames: ['Confirm', 'Cancel', 'Help'],
    message: 'Would you like to delete the file?',
    title: 'Delete'
  });
  dialog.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
    if (e.index === e.source.cancel) {
      Ti.API.info('The cancel button was clicked');
    }
    Ti.API.info('e.cancel: ' + e.cancel);
    Ti.API.info('e.source.cancel: ' + e.source.cancel);
    Ti.API.info('e.index: ' + e.index);
  });
  dialog.show();
});
win.open();

Alert Dialog with Plain Text Input (iOS 5 and later)

Create an alert dialog and allow the user enter plain text, which is invoked when the app window is clicked. Output entered text value to the log when the OK button is clicked.

Ti.UI.setBackgroundColor('white');
var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
  title: 'Click window to test'
});
win.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
  var dialog = Ti.UI.createAlertDialog({
    title: 'Enter text',
    style: Ti.UI.iOS.AlertDialogStyle.PLAIN_TEXT_INPUT,
    buttonNames: ['OK']
  });
  dialog.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
    Ti.API.info('e.text: ' + e.text);
  });
  dialog.show();
});
win.open();

        message="Would you like to delete the file?" cancel="1">

Indicates if the proxy will bubble an event to its parent.

Some proxies (most commonly views) have a relationship to other proxies, often established by the add() method. For example, for a button added to a window, a click event on the button would bubble up to the window. Other common parents are table sections to their rows, table views to their sections, and scrollable views to their views. Set this property to false to disable the bubbling to the proxy's parent.

Titanium.UI.AlertDialog

On iOS, a button will automatically be created if none are explicitly defined, because without it users would be unable to dismiss the dialog. Conversely, a dialog with no buttons may be created on Android, as the hardware back button may be used instead.

A maximum of 3 buttons is supported on Android.

Alloy applications can specify this property with a <ButtonNames> element containing one or more <ButtonName> elements (see example).

<Alloy>
    <AlertDialog id="dialog" onClick="doClick" title="Decide!" message="Do you really want to do that?" cancel="1">
        <ButtonNames>
            <ButtonName>Confirm</ButtonName>

( )deprecated
Starts a batch update of this view's layout properties. ...

Starts a batch update of this view's layout properties.

deprecated since 3.0.0

Use the <Titanium.Proxy.applyProperties> method to batch-update layout properties.

To prevent a layout pass each time a property is modified, call startLayout before changing any properties that may change this view's layout. This initiates a batch update mode where layout changes are deferred.

Call finishLayout to end batch update mode and trigger a layout pass. For example:

view.startLayout();
view.top = 50;
view.left = 50;
view.finishLayout();

Note that any property changes made during the batch update may be deferred until finishLayout is called. This may vary somewhat by platform. For example, changing the text of a label may trigger a layout pass. In iOS, updating the label text is deferred.

Performs a batch update of all supplied layout properties and schedules a layout pass after they have been updated.

deprecated since 3.0.0

Use the <Titanium.Proxy.applyProperties> method to batch-update layout properties.

This is another way to perform a batch update. The updateLayout method is called with a dictionary of layout properties to perform the batch update. For example:

view.updateLayout({top:50, left:50});

This is equivalent to the following:

view.startLayout();
view.top = 50;
view.left = 50;
view.finishLayout();

Titanium.UI.AlertDialog
Fired when a button in the dialog is clicked. ...

Fired when a button in the dialog is clicked.

There is a subtle difference between singletap and click events.

A singletap event is generated when the user taps the screen briefly without moving their finger. This gesture will also generate a click event.

However, a click event can also be generated when the user touches, moves their finger, and then removes it from the screen.

On Android, a click event can also be generated by a trackball click.

    Boolean type on Android; Number on iOS.

    On Android, indicates whether the cancel button was clicked, in which case returns true.

    On iOS, the value of the cancel property is returned, if defined, or -1 otherwise. Also note that the cancel button may not be used on the iPad, because iOS will internally decide whether or not to show it in the current context (e.g. in a popover).

    See the Three-button Alert Dialog example for a cross-platform workaround for this parity issue.
