Pass or associate id (any object) with NSObject(UIView,UIAlertView, etc). Add string Tags to NSObject.

Create a category of NSObject Class

.h

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

#import <objc/runtime.h>

#pragma mark - NSObject

@interface NSObject (CCFoundation)

- (id)associativeObjectForKey: (NSString *)key;
- (void)setAssociativeObject: (id)object forKey: (NSString *)key;

@end




.m

#pragma mark - NSObject

@implementation NSObject (CCFoundation)

static char associativeObjectsKey;

- (id)associativeObjectForKey: (NSString *)key {
    NSMutableDictionary *dict = objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &associativeObjectsKey);
    return [dict objectForKey: key];
}

- (void)setAssociativeObject: (id)object forKey: (NSString *)key {
    NSMutableDictionary *dict = objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &associativeObjectsKey);
    if (!dict) {
        dict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
        objc_setAssociatedObject(self, &associativeObjectsKey, dict, OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN);
    } [dict setObject: object objectForKey: key];
}

-------------------:USAGE:-----------------

UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"title" message:@"alert" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:@"OK",nil];

// Associate MyObject(of type id) with a key
[alertView setAssociatedObject:MyDict forKey:@"kKeyResponse"];
alertView.tag = KTagAlert;
[alertView show];



#pragma mark- Alert View Delegate-
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex;
{
    if (alertView.tag == KTagNotificationAlert) {

// Fetch the associated object(id) currently dictionary 
   NSMutableDictionary *associatedObjectDict = [alertView associativeObjectForKey:@"kKeyResponse"];
NSLog(@"%@", associatedObjectDict);
        if (associatedObjectDict) {
            //Valid
            switch (buttonIndex) {
                case 0:{// cancel pressed
                    break;
                }
                case 1: {// ok pressed
                    break;
                }
                default:
                    break;
            }
        }
        else{
            [[[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"Error" message:@"Please try later." delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil] show];
        }
