Swift alert view with OK and Cancel: which button tapped?

Question

If you are using iOS8, you should be using UIAlertController — UIAlertView is deprecated.

Here is an example of how to use it:

var refreshAlert = UIAlertController(title: "Refresh", message: "All data will be lost.", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)

refreshAlert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: .Default, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction!) in
  print("Handle Ok logic here")
  }))

refreshAlert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .Cancel, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction!) in
  print("Handle Cancel Logic here")
  }))

presentViewController(refreshAlert, animated: true, completion: nil)

As you can see the block handlers for the UIAlertAction handle the button presses. A great tutorial is here (although this tutorial is not written using swift): http://hayageek.com/uialertcontroller-example-ios/

Swift 3 update:

let refreshAlert = UIAlertController(title: "Refresh", message: "All data will be lost.", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.alert)

refreshAlert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: .default, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction!) in
    print("Handle Ok logic here")
}))

refreshAlert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction!) in
    print("Handle Cancel Logic here")
}))

present(refreshAlert, animated: true, completion: nil)

Swift 5 update:

let refreshAlert = UIAlertController(title: "Refresh", message: "All data will be lost.", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.alert)

refreshAlert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: .default, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction!) in
      print("Handle Ok logic here")
}))

refreshAlert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction!) in
      print("Handle Cancel Logic here")
}))

present(refreshAlert, animated: true, completion: nil)

Swift 5.3 update:

let refreshAlert = UIAlertController(title: "Refresh", message: "All data will be lost.", preferredStyle: UIAlertController.Style.alert)

refreshAlert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: .default, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction!) in
      print("Handle Ok logic here")
}))

refreshAlert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction!) in
      print("Handle Cancel Logic here")
}))

present(refreshAlert, animated: true, completion: nil)

var refreshAlert = UIAlertController(title: "Log Out", message: "Are You Sure to Log Out ? ", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)

refreshAlert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Confirm", style: .Default, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction!) in
    self.navigationController?.popToRootViewControllerAnimated(true)
}))

refreshAlert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .Default, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction!) in

    refreshAlert .dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)


}))

presentViewController(refreshAlert, animated: true, completion: nil)

You can easily do this by using UIAlertController

let alertController = UIAlertController(
       title: "Your title", message: "Your message", preferredStyle: .alert)
let defaultAction = UIAlertAction(
       title: "Close Alert", style: .default, handler: nil)
//you can add custom actions as well 
alertController.addAction(defaultAction)

present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)

.

Reference: iOS Show Alert

Updated for swift 3:

// function defination:

@IBAction func showAlertDialog(_ sender: UIButton) {
        // Declare Alert
        let dialogMessage = UIAlertController(title: "Confirm", message: "Are you sure you want to Logout?", preferredStyle: .alert)

        // Create OK button with action handler
        let ok = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: { (action) -> Void in
             print("Ok button click...")
             self.logoutFun()
        })

        // Create Cancel button with action handlder
        let cancel = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel) { (action) -> Void in
            print("Cancel button click...")
        }

        //Add OK and Cancel button to dialog message
        dialogMessage.addAction(ok)
        dialogMessage.addAction(cancel)

        // Present dialog message to user
        self.present(dialogMessage, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }

// logoutFun() function definaiton :

func logoutFun()
{
    print("Logout Successfully...!")
}
