Multiple UIPickerView in the one TableViewController Programatically - ios

Question

I've been trying to do this now for several days but I can't find a way that works. The ways I've tried to set it up loads up the pickerviews as keyboards for the textfields which is what I want but it doesn't show any of the data I've put into them. Can someone help me through the setps of this or give me a link to and example of it. Thank you to any helper.

Answer 1

UIToolbar *toolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] init];
[toolbar setBarStyle:UIBarStyleBlack];
[toolbar setBarTintColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:237.0/255.0 green:30.0/255.0 blue:36.0/255.0 alpha:1.0]];
[toolbar sizeToFit];
UIBarButtonItem *flexButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:self action:nil];
UIBarButtonItem *doneButton =[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemDone target:self action:#selector(resignKeyboard)];
doneButton.tintColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
NSArray *itemsArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:flexButton, doneButton, nil];
[toolbar setItems:itemsArray];
yourTextField.inputAccessoryView = toolbar;
UIPickerView *categoryPicker = [[UIPickerView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 210, 320, 216)];
categoryPicker.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
categoryPicker.delegate = self;
categoryPicker.dataSource = self;
categoryPicker.tag = 1;
yourTextField.inputView = categoryPicker;
after writing all this code in your viewdidappear, implement the delegate and datasource of your pickerview
pragma mark -UIPickerView Delegate and DataSource
- (NSInteger)numberOfComponentsInPickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView
{
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView numberOfRowsInComponent:(NSInteger)component
{
return yourDataSource.count;
}
- (NSString *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView titleForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component
{
return [yourDataSource objectAtIndex:row];
}
- (void)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView didSelectRow:(NSInteger)row inComponent:(NSInteger)component
{
yourTextField.text = [yourDataSource objectAtIndex:row];
}
and implement a selector for the done button like that
- (void)resignKeyboard
{
[bloodGroupField resignFirstResponder];
}
