Add Image to UIAlertAction in UIAlertController

I have seen a couple screen shots of a UIAlertControllers with an image on the left of the row but I do not seen it in the documentation. An example visual is Here is the code that I have for my controller right now:

UIAlertController * view =   [UIAlertController
                                 alertControllerWithTitle:@"My Title"
                                 message:@"Select you Choice"
                                 preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleActionSheet];
    UIAlertAction* ok = [UIAlertAction
                         actionWithTitle:@"OK"
                         style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault
                         handler:^(UIAlertAction * action)
                         {
                          }];
    [view addAction:ok];
    [self presentViewController:view animated:YES completion:nil];

And that's how it's done:

let image = UIImage(named: "myImage")
var action = UIAlertAction(title: "title", style: .default, handler: nil)
action.setValue(image, forKey: "image")
alert.addAction(action)

the image property is not exposed, so there's no guarantee of this working in future releases, but works fine as of now

UIAlertController * view=   [UIAlertController
                             alertControllerWithTitle:@"Staus ! "
                             message:@"Select your current status"
                             preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleActionSheet];


UIAlertAction* online = [UIAlertAction
                     actionWithTitle:@"Online"
                     style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault
                     handler:^(UIAlertAction * action)
                     {
                         //Do some thing here
                         [view dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
                         
                     }];
UIAlertAction* offline = [UIAlertAction
                         actionWithTitle:@"Offline"
                         style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault
                         handler:^(UIAlertAction * action)
                         {
                             [view dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
                             
                         }];
UIAlertAction* doNotDistrbe = [UIAlertAction
                         actionWithTitle:@"Do not disturb"
                         style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault
                         handler:^(UIAlertAction * action)
                         {
                             [view dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
                             
                         }];
UIAlertAction* away = [UIAlertAction
                               actionWithTitle:@"Do not disturb"
                               style:UIAlertActionStyleDestructive
                               handler:^(UIAlertAction * action)
                               {
                                   [view dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
                                   
                               }];

[online setValue:[[UIImage imageNamed:@"online.png"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal] forKey:@"image"];
[offline setValue:[[UIImage imageNamed:@"offline.png"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal] forKey:@"image"];
[doNotDistrbe setValue:[[UIImage imageNamed:@"DND.png"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal] forKey:@"image"];
[away setValue:[[UIImage imageNamed:@"away.png"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal] forKey:@"image"];





[view addAction:online];
[view addAction:away];
[view addAction:offline];
[view addAction:doNotDistrbe];
[self presentViewController:view animated:YES completion:nil];

You could add an image above the title label by subclassing UIAlertController and adding \n to the title string to make space for the UIImageView. You'd have to compute the layout based on the font size. For images in the UIAlertAction use KVC like so self.setValue(image, forKey: "image"). I would recommend to use an extension that checks for responds(to:). Here is sample implementation.

For swift

let actionSheet = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: nil, preferredStyle: .actionSheet)
let action = UIAlertAction(title: NSLocalizedString("Share", comment: ""), style: .default, handler: { _ in
        })
let image = UIImage(named: "Temp1")
action.setValue(image?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysOriginal), forKey: "image")
actionSheet.addAction(action)
actionSheet.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel, handler: nil))
self.present(actionSheet, animated: true, completion: nil)

Note: IMP Line withRenderingMode(.alwaysOriginal)

Try something like this:

UIAlertView* alert = [UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle: @"Test Alert" message: @"Alert With Custom View" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"NO" otherButtonTitles:@"YES", nil];

UIImage* imgMyImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"myImage.png"];
UIImageView* ivMyImageView = [UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, imgMyImage.size.width, imgMyImage.size.height)];
[ivMyImageView setImage:imgMyImage];

[alert setValue: ivMyImageView forKey:@"accessoryView"];
[alert show];

Tested this and it works for iOS 7.0

Swift Version:

actionBtn.setValue(UIImage.init(named: "completeDose"), forKey: "image")

swift 3 extension , property and convenience init.

extension UIAlertAction{
    @NSManaged var image : UIImage?
    
    convenience init(title: String?, style: UIAlertActionStyle,image : UIImage?, handler: ((UIAlertAction) -> Swift.Void)? = nil ){
        self.init(title: title, style: style, handler: handler)
        self.image = image
    }
}
