UIAlert for review page

Question

I am fairly new to iPhone coding and wanted to know if someone can help me.

Have got the code ready so that when the app loads a UIAletView loads and prompts the user to review/rate the application but i have a button called "Never Rate"

I needed help to find out how to code the "never rate" button so what when it is pressed the UI Alert does not load everytime the app is loaded.

This is my code so far:

• (void)viewDidLoad {

  UIAlertView *alert; alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Rate My Appication" message:@" Please Rate my Application and check out my other Apps" delegate: self cancelButtonTitle:@" Cancel " otherButtonTitles: @" Rate Now ", @"Check Other Apps", @" Never Rate ", nil];

  [alert show]; [alert release]; }

• (bool)alertView:(UIAlertView *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {

  // Never Review Button if (buttonIndex == 3) {

  }

  // Review Button else if (buttonIndex == 1) { [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/calculator/id389197581?mt=8"]]; }

  // Other Apps Button else if (buttonIndex == 2) { [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://itunes.com/apps/2headsolutions"]]; }

}

Answer 1

You could store a boolean flag somewhere on disk. Then the next time, you check for neverRate == NO and display the alert accordingly.

You could store this using NSUserDefaults:

[[NSUserDefaults standardDefaults] setBool:YES forKey:@"neverRate"];

Then to retrieve it:

BOOL neverRate = [[NSUserDefaults standardDefaults] boolForKey:@"neverRate"];
if(neverRate != YES) {
  //Show alert here
}

Answer 2

This is my code so far:

(void)viewDidLoad {

UIAlertView *alert; alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Rate My Appication" message:@" Please Rate my Application and check out my other Apps" delegate: self cancelButtonTitle:@" Cancel " otherButtonTitles: @" Rate Now ", @"Check Other Apps", @" Never Rate ", nil];

[alert show]; [alert release]; }

(bool)alertView:(UIAlertView *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {

// Never Review Button if (buttonIndex == 3) {

}

// Review Button else if (buttonIndex == 1) { [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/calculator/id389197581?mt=8"]]; }

// Other Apps Button else if (buttonIndex == 2) { [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://itunes.com/apps/2headsolutions"]]; }

}
