how to add a UITableView into UIAlertView in iOS 7

did some googling around saw that subview is no longer supported in iOS 7.

Some ppl recommend creating custom view, but i am not sure how can i do that.

Here is my code, can anyone point me in the correct direction?

-(IBAction)click_select_fruit_type
{
select_dialog = [[[UIAlertView alloc] init] retain];
[select_dialog setDelegate:self];
[select_dialog setTitle:@"Fruit Type"];
[select_dialog setMessage:@"\n\n\n\n"];
[select_dialog addButtonWithTitle:@"Cancel"];

idType_table = [[UITableView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 45, 245, 90)];
idType_table.delegate = self;
idType_table.dataSource = self;
[select_dialog addSubview:idType_table];

[idType_table reloadData];

[select_dialog show];
[select_dialog release];

}

You can change accessoryView to any own customContentView in a standard alert view in iOS7

[alertView setValue:customContentView forKey:@"accessoryView"];

Note that you must call this before [alertView show].

Simplest illustrating example:

UIAlertView *av = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"TEST" message:@"subview" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"NO" otherButtonTitles:@"YES", nil];
UIView *v = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 50)];
v.backgroundColor = [UIColor yellowColor];
[av setValue:v forKey:@"accessoryView"];
[av show];

enter image description here

you'll have to subclass UIViewController and use its preferredContentSize property to do some 'custom modal' mimicking UIAlertView layout

You can't. Apple deprecated ability to add any subviews to UIAlertView in iOS 7. Which I think is a good decision. A lot of people abused UIAlertView.

Creating a custom view is a good idea, but that's not what you wrote in your code. It seems like you are adding subviews to UIAlertView again.

See Alert View UI guide here.
