How can I execute a UIAlertAction handler?

Question

I am trying to write a helper class so that our application supports both UIAlertActionand UIAlertView. However, when writing a method alertView:clickedButtonAtIndex:for UIAlertViewDelegateI ran into this problem: I see no way to execute the code in the handler block UIAlertAction.

I am trying to do this by storing an array UIAlertActionin a propertyhandlers

@property (nonatomic, strong) NSArray *handlers;

and then implement such a delegate:

- (void) alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
    UIAlertAction *action = self.handlers[buttonIndex];
    if (action.enabled)
        action.handler(action);
}

However, there is no property action.handleror, as I can see, to get it, since the title UIAlertActionhas only:

NS_CLASS_AVAILABLE_IOS(8_0) @interface UIAlertAction : NSObject <NSCopying>

+ (instancetype)actionWithTitle:(NSString *)title style:(UIAlertActionStyle)style handler:(void (^)(UIAlertAction *action))handler;

@property (nonatomic, readonly) NSString *title;
@property (nonatomic, readonly) UIAlertActionStyle style;
@property (nonatomic, getter=isEnabled) BOOL enabled;

@end

Is there any other way to execute code in a handlerblock UIAlertAction?

Answer 1

. , , .

//Get the UIAlertAction
UIAlertAction *action = self.handlers[buttonIndex];

//Cast the handler block into a form that we can execute
void (^someBlock)(id obj) = [action valueForKey:@"handler"];

//Execute the block
someBlock(action);

Wrapper , eh?

.h:

@interface UIAlertActionWrapper : NSObject

@property (nonatomic, strong) void (^handler)(UIAlertAction *);
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *title;
@property (nonatomic, assign) UIAlertActionStyle style;
@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL enabled;

- (id) initWithTitle: (NSString *)title style: (UIAlertActionStyle)style handler: (void (^)(UIAlertAction *))handler;

- (UIAlertAction *) toAlertAction;

@end

.m:

- (UIAlertAction *) toAlertAction
{
    UIAlertAction *action = [UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:self.title style:self.style handler:self.handler];
    action.enabled = self.enabled;
    return action;
}

...

- (void) alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
    UIAlertActionWrapper *action = self.helpers[buttonIndex];
    if (action.enabled)
        action.handler(action.toAlertAction);
}

, , , UIAlertActionWrapper helpers UIAlertAction s.
