NSInvalidArgumentException when setting alertViewStyle

[sberrevoets]

The convenience methods don't just return an alert, they show an alert and then return it. Once an alert (both UIAlertView and SDCAlertView) is on-screen, it can't be modified, except for the title and message. In your case, I would probably just use the designated initializer and change the style before sending it show.

However, this is still a bug. I don't believe UIAlertView crashes when changing the style after it was already shown. I will do some research and get a fix out soon. Keep in mind though, that even after I fix this, as it will just fail silently (i.e., without crashing).

Thanks for reporting!

I'm having a little trouble reproducing this. Can you provide me with the code you were using?

Happens here in the sample app, when I change the "Single Text Field" example to

SDCAlertView *alert = [SDCAlertView alertWithTitle:@"Title" message:@"This is a message" buttons:@[@"OK"]];
alert.alertViewStyle = SDCAlertViewStylePlainTextInput;

The exception message is

2014-06-18 07:49:48.359 SDCAlertView[3421:60b] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Unable to parse constraint format:
Unable to interpret '|' character, because the related view doesn't have a superview
V:|[primaryTextField(==primaryTextFieldHeight)]|

Yep, I see what you mean. I will fix this at some point, just have to find some time for it. In the meantime, please use the designated initializer instead.

See #38 for a more accurate description of the bug. I'm closing this one, keep an eye out for a fix for #38.

Thanks for reporting!
