iOS UIAlertView: How do I trigger another event by having the user press OK?

[I'm a Mac]

This seems like an idiotic question, but I can't for the life of me get an OK button on a UIAlertview to trigger another event. Is this possible? I know with applescript, you'd have "if button returned is 1 then...." but how would I do this with the UIAlertview class. My alert only has one button, so how would I make it a selector with the target of another event?

- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
	
//If you have two buttons this is the left button, if you only have one button, you don't need the else
	if (buttonIndex == 0) {
                 NSLog(@"Stuff");
                 [self doAction];
        }
//If you have two buttons, this is the right button, if you only have one button, this shouldn't be here
        else {
                 NSLog(@"Other Stuff");
                 [self doOtherAction];
        }

}

how would I connect that to my UIAlertview initalization method?

- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    UITouch* touch = [touches anyObject];
    NSUInteger numTaps = [touch tapCount];
    if (numTaps == 1 ) {
		UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] 
							  initWithTitle: @"Alert Title" 
							  message:@"Alert Message"
							  delegate:self
							  cancelButtonTitle:@"Submit"
							  otherButtonTitles: nil];
		[alert addTextFieldWithValue:@"" label:@"Input"];
		
		// Input field
		UITextField *tf = [alert textFieldAtIndex:0];
		tf.clearButtonMode = UITextFieldViewModeWhileEditing;
		tf.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeAlphabet;
		tf.keyboardAppearance = UIKeyboardAppearanceAlert;
		tf.autocapitalizationType = UITextAutocapitalizationTypeWords;
		tf.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;		
		
		[alert show];
			[[self performSelector:@selector(presentSheet:)] autorelease];
	}
}

I believe it's already connected, via the delegate:self directive you're using there.

EDIT: Okay I figured it all out. Thank you so much for all of your help.

New Problem: Why does the keyboard spring up twice- one over the other when the alert launches?

sorry, I phrased the question poorly. I meant, from my init method, how do I call on the other method? I wanted to add an if statement in the same method as the alert view init method.

How do you call alertView:didDismissWithButtonIndex: from the init method of your UIAlertView? You don't.

I'd suggest checking out some of the sample apps, such as UICatalog, for more code on how to handle UIAlertViews.
