UITextField not becoming first responder in collection view - ios

I have a UITextField in one of my collection view cells. I want it to become first responder as soon as that cell is on screen.
So, I call [cell.textField becomeFirstResponder] in cellForItemAtIndexPath. However, this only works when the app is opened (the cell containing the uitextfield is already visible on app launch), if I scroll away from the cell and than scroll back to it, the textfield does not become first responder anymore.
What could be the problem?
EDIT: I am programatically scrolling the collection view to the cell containing the UITextField before calling becomeFirstResponder

It seems as the scrolling of the collection view made the collection view the first responder until the scrolling finished, so I made my textfield the first responder in this delegate method:
-(void)scrollViewDidEndScrollingAnimation:(UIScrollView *)scrollView

You should put the code in the
- (void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView willDisplayCell:(UICollectionViewCell *)cell forItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
function as according to the class ref:
Tells the delegate that the specified cell is about to be displayed in the collection view.

iCarousel View in a table cell view does not scroll at all

I put the iCarousel View in a table View and try to scroll the iCarousel, but the problem is it's not scrollable at all.
I can see iCarousel in the cell like following:
and I put iCarousel datasource and delegate in the tableView Controller, create a customer function to set the iCarousel datasource and delegate.
In the CustomTableViewCell I just define the setting delegate function:
- (void) setICarouselDataSourceDelegate: (id<iCarouselDelegate,iCarouselDataSource>)dataSourceDelegate {
self.carousel.dataSource = dataSourceDelegate;
self.carousel.delegate = dataSourceDelegate;
[self.carousel reloadData];
}
and in the MainTableView, I call the DataSourceDelegate in the
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
First of all iCarousel is not any standarad View ... you should put link of the control that you're using
Second it seems like iCarousel is uses UIScrollView and UITableView is also derived from UIScrollView It's never a good idea to put a scrollview inside another scrollview.
This might be the reason why your table view is not scrolling.... BTW are you talking about horizontal scrollign or vertical scrolling ?
Currently I am using the iCarousel in Table View cell and it scrolls easily.
Just add standard view to cell in Storyboard.
In IB mark the class of that view to iCarousel.
Furthermore !ENABLE! user interaction on that view. (Maybe because of that you can't scroll the content inside the cell)
Implement separate datasource & delegate for every cell. (It is more clear which data are loading in the cell and also the cell itself can handle the data. You just pass the data to cell and it handles it accordingly.) - But it depends on you if you want to let one class to handle two separate control datasources & delegates :-)

Select row when cell in tableview is a tableview iPhone

In my app, I am using tableview and cell in this which is tableview too. All things work good but when I want to handler selected cell on tableview which is a cell but i don't control
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
}
This function call at tableview parent only. But in my case, i want to call this function in both of tableview (parent tableview and tableview in cell).
Thanks!
Did you imported UITableViewDelegate? and add it to you table view as self.tableView.delegate = self,Better to check once!
Inside the table view of the cell, please set the delegate and datasource as the cell views reference.
As I think, your parent tableView get the select action and block the child table view from receive this action. I think there're two or more approaches to resolve this:
1. Change your view hierachy (contruct) of your view (don't make detail table view as a cell of the parent table). Make the detail table view as top view, so it could received select action, then maybe, pass this action to (parent) tableview.
2. Add UIGestureRecognizer to both child tableView and parent tableView, then check to perform tap action to both of them
- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer
shouldReceiveTouch:(UITouch *)touch

Why does UICollectionView not scroll with UIButtons inside it?

Given the following scenario:
There is a UICollectionView containing UICollectionViewCells (naturally). Each UICollectionViewCell contains a UIButton with a target action associated with it.
Problem:
The UICollectionView does not scroll upon swipe/drag. The UIButtons instead intercept touches, and make it difficult to drag the UICollectionView.
Additionally:
The UIButtons are set to UIControlEventTouchUpInside
The UICollectionView is set to canCancelTouches = YES
**Why are the UIButtons inside UICollectionViewCells preventing the UICollectionView from responding to drag/swipe gestures? **
The reason that the UICollectionView doesn't scroll properly is because the UIButtons are intercepting and rerouting the responder chain.
Solution:
Remove the UIButtons from the UICollectionViewCell.
Instead use the delegate method for UICollectionViewDelegate :
- (void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didSelectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
Explanation:
When we added a UIButton to the UICollectionViewCell, we were thinking that the best way to capture a tap was to add a button to the cell. However, by adding the UIButton, we broke the responder chain.
We don't need the button inside the UICollectionViewCell, because the UICollectionViewCell already detects tap events with it's delegate method :
- (void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didSelectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
Use the provided method to detect taps on a collection cell, and replace the UIButtons with UIImageView-s or similar.
We don't need the event handing of a button when working with collection cells.

UITableView method tableView:didEndDisplayingFooterView: isn't getting called

The following method won't get called when I scroll the tableView far enough so that it scrolls out of bounds.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didEndDisplayingFooterView:(UIView *)view forSection:(NSInteger)section
Why could this be happening?
Make sure that any UITextFields or UITextViews are not displaying their keyboards.
You can call:
[textView resignFirstResponder];
If any textField or textView is the firstResponder of the responder chain, the UITableView will not call the didEndDisplayingFooterView: method

Changing the contentView when an Accessory button is tapped

I've subclassed UITableViewCell to display a UIImage and two UILabel subviews. In the view controller for the table view, in the method cellForRowAtIndexPath: I've enabled an accessory view via setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryDetailDisclosureButton.
Cells display correctly.
When I tap on the accessory disclosure button I want to replace the two label subviews with two different label subviews. My approach was the following:
In the subclassed UITableViewCell, inside layoutSubviews, create the
CGRects for the "alternate" labels, position them in the same
places as the two "original" label and hide them via setAlpha:;
When the disclosure button is tapped swap out the set of two
label by adjusting their respective alphas.
The problem is I can't figure out what logic in layoutSubviews I'd use to know whether the accessory button has been tapped. I see that in the view controller accessoryButtonTappedForRowWithIndexPath: is called when that button is tapped and from there it seems like I would call layoutSubviews but can't figure out how to use that fact to accomplish what I'm trying to do.
Am I going about this all wrong? Instead of hiding/showing CGRects with alpha should I simply be creating another subclass of UITableViewCell?
When I tap on the accessory disclosure button I want to replace the two UILabel subviews with two different UILabel subviews.
I'll do the following. Create a public method in your UITableViewCell subclass like the following:
- (void)changeContentForCell;
In this method you could set the contentView as you prefer.
Then in your view controller implement
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView accessoryButtonTappedForRowWithIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
CustomCell* cCell = (CustomCell*)[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
[cCell changeContentForCell];
}
This is a simple example for change the content. In my opinion you don't have to use layoutSubviews to add views.
Leave this logic in changeContentForCell and then call setNeedsLayout to change your layout. Maybe you could have a variable that tracks the state for your cell: normal state or modified state.
Hope it helps.
