Adding a UIView contentView to the alert for generic usage

[ghvillasboas]

• Adding a generic UIView on the alert to supply the feature removed from early versions iOS 7 betas. (can be used as UIImageViews, TableViews, or any other UIView subclass)
• Added the parallax effect commited by @Fr4ncis with some little tweeks
• Removal of some warnings due API's deprecation
• Code is iOS 7 only

Usage: Just set the property -contentView: or alloc/init with the designated initializer and you're good to go.

Usage example:

Nice, but shouldn't the title be at the top?

@iOSDevil Depends on your use case. We could easily change this behavior or add an extra property so the user can decide. My idea was to mimmic a feature of UIAlertView introduced on iOS[redacted] and suddenly pulled out on later betas: the contentView.

Top is best for me.

I'm looking through the code now 





Thanks

Looks great! Will take a further review soon.

iOS6 Noticed a crash when setting a title
-[__NSCFString boundingRectWithSize:options:attributes:context:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x14b81d00

Otherwise seems fine on iOS6

[ghvillasboas]

@iOSDevil I think the parallax effect doesn't work on iOS 6 either.
About the crash, its because iOS 7 has a complete new way to deal with fonts. I believe with some little tweaks using the old APIs you can get them running smoothly.

Best.

Thanks mate, I did find the new style code but not using a title looks better for how I'm using this.

I definitely found the contentView useful. I wrote a very similar "accessoryView" that does exactly the same thing.

[ghvillasboas]

@rhfung Nice. I'll take a look on that. Thanks for sharing.

Nice addition! But had to update the setContentView method and change _containerView to _contentView:

- (void)setContentView:(UIView *)contentView
{
  _contentView = contentView;
  [self invalidateLayout];
}
