can i navigate to other View by textField didBeginEditing method ios? - ios

Question

When user tap on textfield so is there any way to open new viewController.
For example, textFieldCountryCode having already value set. now user try to change text at that time new view should be open and after select the option that view should be closed and control comes back to previous viewController with selected value should be set inside textFieldCountryCode.

Answer 1

You should use pickerview to pick value instead of new viewcontroller in this kind of functionality!
You can set pickerview as inputview of your textfield.
Then also if you want to use seperate viewcontroller then in textFieldDidBeginEditing method you can present that viewcontroller and you can use delegate and protocol to set value of textfield which is choosen from viewcontroller!

Answer 2

You can do using passing data using delegate while select country from CountryViecController.
try this code snippet
-(BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
if (textField.tag == 100) {
ViewController *videoVC = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"videoVC"];
videoVC.delegate = self;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:videoVC animated:YES];
return NO;
}
return YES;
}
// delegate method for video controller, here you get selected country
-(void)selectedString:(NSString *)selectedCountry{
NSLog(#"%#",selectedCountry);
}

Answer 3

This kind of functionality can be done by two approach :
First : via pickerview
You need to add your_textfield.inputView = your_pickerview;
and you can done it by handling it by delegate methods of pickerview.
Second : via TextField (Your recommended)
-(BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
if(textField == Your_textfield)
{
Your_viewcontroller *vc= [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"Your_viewcontroller_identifier"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:vc animated:YES];
return NO;
}
return YES;
}

Answer 4

Add the textField and use the following Code:
-(BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
if ([textField.text isEqualToString:#""])
{
return YES;
}
else
{
NSLog (#"Go To View Controller");
[self changeView];
return NO;
}
}
-(void)changeView
{
secondScreen *obj =[[secondScreen alloc]init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:obj animated:YES];
}
This code would move you to your second View if the textField already contains text.
In your second view you can define a button like this and set its action to a function as below to return to your previous ViewController
-(void) crossButtonPressed{
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
I hope this helps you out.

Answer 5

Yes you can push to nextViewController by using textFieldDidBeginEditing method see below code:
- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
[_myTextfield resignFirstResponder];
TestVc *myVc = [[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil]instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"TestVc"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:myVc animated:YES];
}
