Create UIActionSheet "otherButtons" by passing in array, not varlist



I have an array of strings that I want to use for button titles on a UIActionSheet. Unfortunately, the otherButtonTitles: argument in the method invocation takes a variable length list of strings, not an array.





So how I can I pass these titles into the UIActionSheet? The workaround I've seen suggested is to pass nil into otherButtonTitles:, then specify the button titles individually by using addButtonWithTitle:. But this has the problem of moving the "Cancel" button to the first position on the UIActionSheet rather than the last; I want it to be the last one.





Is there a way to 1) pass an array in lieu of a variable list of strings, or alternatively 2) move the cancel button to the bottom of the UIActionSheet?





Thanks.

  1. I got this to work (you just need to, be ok with a regular button, and just add it after :

    NSArray *array = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:
    [NSString stringWithString:@"1st Button"],
    [NSString stringWithString:@"2nd Button"],
    [NSString stringWithString:@"3rd Button"],
    [NSString stringWithString:@"4th Button"],
    nil];

    UIActionSheet *actionSheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:@"Title Here"
    delegate:self
    cancelButtonTitle:nil
    destructiveButtonTitle:nil
    otherButtonTitles:nil];

    for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {

    [actionSheet addButtonWithTitle:[array objectAtIndex:i]];

    }

    [actionSheet addButtonWithTitle:@"Cancel"];
    actionSheet.cancelButtonIndex = 4;

    [actionSheet showInView:self.view];

  2. One little note: [actionSheet addButtonWithTitle:] returns the index of that button, so to be safe and "clean" you can do this:

    actionSheet.cancelButtonIndex = [actionSheet addButtonWithTitle:@"Cancel"];

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
