I've a most annoying bug.
This UIAlertView doesn't display immediately but after the code that follows the [alertView show] line.

Code:
myFantasticViewController.h @interface myFantasticViewController:UIViewController <UIAlertViewDelegate, UIGestureRecognizerDelegate, UITextFieldDelegate, UITextViewDelegate> -(void)handleUserDefinedStationWarning:(NSError *)error; myFantasticViewController.m -(void)handleUserDefinedStationWarning:(NSError *)error { NSString *errorMessage = [error localizedDescription]; UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"", @"Title for alert displayed when the user-defined station both lat/lon are zero.") message:errorMessage delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Ok" otherButtonTitles:@"Cancel", nil]; [alertView show]; } This is the code which triggers the alertview: NSString *message = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Touch OK to continue without specifying the latitude and longitude."]; NSDictionary *userInfo = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:NSLocalizedString(message, @"Message displayed when a user-defined station lat/lon are both zero.") forKey:NSLocalizedDescriptionKey]; NSError *error = [NSError errorWithDomain:@"myFantasticViewController" code:0000 userInfo:userInfo]; [self handleUserDefinedStationWarning:error]; ... some code ... these statements are executed immediately; the alertView pops up after the code is run which is causing the mayhem.
Has anybody got a clue as to what might be wrong? I have other alertViews in my app that work correctly.

Problem solved.

The reason I was encountering all this grief was because the CPU was doing exactly what I told it to do.
I moved the code that was executing before the alertView displayed to within the clickedButtonAtIndex method.
I was not giving the OS time to display the alertView and was proceeding to do the intended code before the alertView had displayed.
