#BPCompatibleAlertController iOS 8 included the new UIAlertController which is a much needed upgrade upon the UIAlertView; however, if you're still supporting iOS 7, like most of us are, then you still need to use UIAlertViews.

BPCompatibleAlertController does its best to emulate the UIAlertController implementation while supporting both iOS 7 and 8.

##How to Use## Code samples are provided in the demo project, but if you're familiar with the UIAlertController, then you'll find this easy:

###Intialize the BPCompatibleAlertController:###

alertController = BPCompatibleAlertController(title: "My Title", message: "My Message", alertStyle: BPCompatibleAlertControllerStyle.Alert)

###Start adding actions/buttons to your controller:###

alertController.addAction(BPCompatibleAlertAction.defaultActionWithTitle("Default", handler: { (action) in
  // Do whatever callback you want in here
}))

If you want to specify another type of button, you can simply use the other two class functions: BPCompatibleAlertAction.cancelActionWithTitle and BPCompatibleAlertAction.destructiveActionWithTitle.

###Add any UITextFields:###

alertController.addTextFieldWithConfigurationHandler({ (textField) in
    textField.placeholder = "Username"
})

To support the different types of textFields in iOS7, just set the UIAlertViewStyle on the BPCompatibleAlertController to whichever you'd like, so long as it matches the number of textFields you're adding.

UIAlertViewStyle.Default = 0 textFields
UIAlertViewStyle.PlainTextInput or SecureTextInput = 1 textField
UIAlertViewStyle.LoginAndPasswordInpnut = 2 textFields

###Present the alert controller:###

alertController.presentFrom(viewController, animated: true) { () in
  // Completion handler once everything is dismissed
}

##To Do##

  1. You need to retain the BPCompatibleAlertController in iOS 7 otherwise when selecting a button from the UIAlertView you'll get an exception.
  2. Tests!
  3. Probably a lot more! PR's are welcome.
