Display TableView from TextField and passing data - uitableview

Question

I'm learning Xcode and programming for the IPad. I have a TableView and can display it using a button. I would rather display it when I click on a TextField. If I dismiss the first responder, the keyboard, how then do I display the tableView? I have not found a example that fits. Any direction would help.

Answer 1

It is just simple
just in UItextField delegate method create your tableview.But return No ,that will never show keyboard and write your tableview code there.
here your have to use user defined delegates.
//firstViewController
***********************
#interface ViewController ()<UITextFieldDelegate,send>
{
UITextField *textField;
}
#end
#implementation ViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
textField=[[UITextField alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 20, 160, 60)];
textField.delegate=self;
textField.backgroundColor=[UIColor greenColor];
[self.view addSubview:textField];
}
-(BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
TableViewController *table=[[TableViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"TableViewController" bundle:nil];
table.delegate=self;
[self presentViewController:table animated:YES completion:nil];
return NO;
}
-(void)clickedValue:(NSString *)name
{
textField.text=name;
}
//secondcontroller
*********************
in.h
#protocol send <NSObject>
#required
-(void)clickedValue:(NSString *)name;
#end
#interface........
#property (nonatomic, retain) id<send> delegate;
.m
******
#interface TableViewController ()
{
NSArray *arr;
}
#end
#implementation TableViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
arr=[[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects:#"murali",#"mohan",nil];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return arr.count;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if(cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
cell.textLabel.text=[arr objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
[self.delegate clickedValue:[arr objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];;
}
