Access textfield of UIAlertController - swift ios8

Question

I'm trying to access the text field of a UIAlertView and I'm using the textFields property and I get the following output from the textFields property:

<_UIAlertControllerTextField: 0x7fe911f96790; frame = (4 4; 231 16); text = 'THIS IS THE TEXT THAT I JUST ENTERED'; clipsToBounds = YES; opaque = NO; gestureRecognizers = <NSArray: 0x7fe914215cc0>; layer = <CALayer: 0x7fe911f96c40>>

As you can see the text does show up, but I need the text separately. textFields.text won't work because its deprecated and cannot be used in Swift.

Can u post more Code? You can access your textfield with: let textField = alert.textFieldAtIndex(0) — derdida

Yeah, could you post the code where you grab the text field and println it? — akashivskyy

The textFields are stored in an Array of AnyObject. If you want to access text you should cast it as a UITextField first:

((alert.textFields[0] as UITextField).text)

'[AnyObject]?' does not have a member named 'subscript' so use ! before [0]
