Custom UIAlertView in iPhoneSDK

Recently while working on personal project I need to customizing UIAlertView. My requirement was just to add image on UIAlertView everything else should be same.

For that I could have derived UIAlertView and could have provided custom drawing to put image, but instead I used following hack because i thought it was fast.

Here is code if you find it useful.

UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Hack!" 
      message:@"Hacking alert view\n\n\n\n\n" 
     delegate:nil 
     cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" 
     otherButtonTitles:nil];
 
    UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] 
        initWithFrame:CGRectMake(110, 80, 66, 66)];
 
    NSString *path = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:[[
[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] 
stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"images.jpg"]];

    UIImage *bkgImg = [[UIImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:path];
    [imageView setImage:bkgImg];
    [bkgImg release];
    [path release];
 
    [alert addSubview:imageView];
    [imageView release];
 
    [alert show];
    [alert release];

Here is output.
