How to create login screen with alert view Controller using UIAlertController in SWIFT
Alert views can also be used with text field. You can use it to quickly get some input text to image or table.How to take text input with alert view.
1. First lets set up the x code project as usual. Create new single view application X code project. Set the values as follows and save it on your desktop.
2. Go to main storyboard and select view controller. Set its size iPhone 4-inch in attribute section.
3. Add button to main storyboard & rename it to Log In
4. Connect button to view controller swift file
5. Create a function/method as following just below view did load
func printText(username:String, password:String)
{
print(username)
print(password)
}
This will just print username & password collected from log in screen.
6. Now add following code in Log In button we just created.
@IBAction func logInPressed(sender: UIButton)
{
// 1
let loginController = UIAlertController(title: "Please Sign In", message: "Fill in the following", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
// 2
let loginAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Log In", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default) { (action:UIAlertAction) -> Void in
let loginTextField = loginController.textFields![0] as! UITextField
let passwordTextField = loginController.textFields![1] as! UITextField
self.printText(loginTextField.text, password: passwordTextField.text)
}
loginAction.enabled = false
// 3
let signupAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Sign Up", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default, handler: nil)
let forgotPasswordAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Forgot Password", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Destructive, handler: nil)
var cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Cancel, handler: nil)
// 4
loginController.addTextFieldWithConfigurationHandler { (textField:UITextField!) -> Void in
textField.placeholder = "Username or Email"
textField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardType.EmailAddress
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserverForName(UITextFieldTextDidChangeNotification, object: textField, queue: NSOperationQueue.mainQueue(), usingBlock: { (notification:NSNotification!) -> Void in
let textField = notification.object as! UITextField
loginAction.enabled = !textField.text.isEmpty
})
}
// 5
loginController.addTextFieldWithConfigurationHandler { (textField:UITextField!) -> Void in
textField.placeholder = "Password"
textField.secureTextEntry = true
}
// 6
loginController.addAction(loginAction)
loginController.addAction(signupAction)
loginController.addAction(forgotPasswordAction)
loginController.addAction(cancelAction)
// 7
presentViewController(loginController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
