Session is restarted when using the alert view in iphone?

Question

I am new to iphone development.I am creating a map application.Now i am facing a problem with the alert view.To see how alert view displayed in simulator, i have added a alert view in the "view did load "method.When i click a button in the landing page it navigates to another view(where alert view is displayed)When i run the app ,in console window i can see the session started once again after the initial start at landing page.

for displaying the alert

 UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"Current Location" message:@"Show Current Location?" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:@"OK"];
    [alert show];

IN the console window

That's just the debugger (gdb) initialising.

If the debugger isn't started on app launch (which will be the case if you just build and run instead of build and debug) the debugger will start and initialise when the app encounters a problem.

The problem you have here is in your alert view init line. Everything is fine until the last parameter: otherButtonTitles: - notice the plural on titles, not title. This means the parameter takes a nil-terminated list of items - this is also stated in the documentation.

you should amend your code so that parameter is nil-terminated like so:

 UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"Current Location" message:@"Show Current Location?" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:@"OK", nil];
