How to read data from dynamic cell ios - ios

Question

How to get the Dynamic tableview cell data.
I have a table view like this. All the cells are creating dynamically.
I want to get all the text (flavor and %)data when submit button is pressed.
The problem was I creating text in dynamically. So I cannot individually identify the text box. How could get the data from dynamic text box?

Answer 1

Set tag to your uitextfield in your custom cell
For eg.
cell.lblFlavour.tag = indexPath.row;
cell.lblPercent.tag = indexPath.row;
Now, access your uitextfield on the basis of your indexPath

Answer 2

Use tag property to identify each UI component uniquely. Assign the same tag property where you are creating textFields and button to each row then after change tag value for next row and get them using code.
To set tag:
self.yourTextfield.tag = 100;
self.yourbutton.tag = 100;
// set action method to uibutton
[cell.yourButton addTarget:self action:#selector(buttonPressed:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
To get the UI components using tag property:
-(IBAction)buttonPressed:(id)sender{
// here get all ui component using tag
UIButton *button = (UIButton *)sender;
NSLog(#"%d", [button tag]);
}
or you can use method didSelectRowAtIndexPath to get values see code:
- (void) tableView: (UITableView *) tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath: (NSIndexPath *) indexPath {
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
NSLog(#"getting index path %#",indexPath);
NSLog(#"getting index path %#",cell.yourTextField.text);
}

Answer 3

You can set tag to your textfield and by that tag you can access them.
For example,
UITextField *textField = [[UITextField alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 30)];
textField.tag = 100; //set tag
UITextField *textField1 = (UITextField*)[self.view viewWithTag:100]; //retreive by tag
So, like this you can manage your dynamically made textfields.
Update :
then set two tag 100 and 101 respectively. Now you have to got cell first and from that cell you can got your textfields so on button's click first got all cell, then you can got textfield from that cell like :
UITextField *textField = (UITextField*)[cell viewWithTag:100];
So, you have to got cell first in your button's click.

The main idea of UITableView is store data into data source, not into cell. When you tap "+" button on the navigation bar, you should add new item into array and then call [tableView reloadData]. So a UITableView just represent data from array. And when submit button will pressed you just enumerate an array of data source and get all the text from each row.
When you tap text into text field inside the cell, you could use delegates or blocks to store data into array.

Answer 5

try below code :
When you click on submit button
for (int i=0; i < [[tableView visibleCells] count]; i++)
{
//yourArrayname is the number of rows in the UITableView /Or UITableView visible cells
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow: i inSection: 0];
CustomTableViewCell *cell = [tblExperience cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
for (UIView *view in cell.contentView.subviews){
if ([view isKindOfClass:[UITextField class]]){
UITextField* CurrentTextField = (UITextField *)view;
NSLog(#"val %d %#",i,CurrentTextField.text);
[finalArray addObject:CurrentTextField.text];
}
}
}

Answer 6

Assign dynamic tags to your textfields, implement textfield delegates and save the data in an array whenever textfield ends editing. Something like this
-(void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
[_array insertObject:textField.text atIndex:textField.tag];
}
