Printing input from TextField to a Label in Xcode with Swift - ios

Question

I'm working on a simple guessing game app, just to get more comfortable with Swift and Xcode. I have been able to input within userInput and get it to print a message to the console, however when I try to get it to print my input to usersGuess(which is a label), I can not figure it out.
Here's my code within a single view application via Xcode:
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var correctAnswerLabel: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var usersGuess: UILabel!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
#IBAction func buttonPressed() {
correctAnswerLabel.text = "Changes when the button is pressed."
}
#IBAction func userInput(sender: UITextField) {
println("This is working")
}
}
I'm sure this is simple, but I am scratching my head lol.

Answer 1

#IBAction func userInput(sender: UITextField) {
println("This is working")
usersGuess.text = sender.text
}

Answer 2

Although I am still new to iOS dev and Swift, I think you could also take a look at the use of delegate in this tutorial Apple provides. I guess it might be the code didn't resign your text field's first-responder status. Hence, the usersGuess could not update. (Anyone who knows how this work please leave a comment.)
To do this, basically
Create an outlet for the UITextField that receives user's input, say, usersInput.
Set ViewController as a delegate of usersInput, which will
Resign the first-responder status of usersInput when the Return button on the keyboard is pressed.
Update the text of usersGuess.
Code here:
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var correctAnswerLabel: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var usersGuess: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var usersInput: UITextField!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
// Set ViewController as a delegate
usersInput.delegate = self
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
// Here are the callback functions for usersInput
func textFieldShouldReturn(textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
textField.resignFirstResponder()
return true
}
func textFieldDidEndEditing(textField: UITextField) {
usersGuess.text = textField.text
}
#IBAction func buttonPressed() {
correctAnswerLabel.text = "Changes when the button is pressed."
}
#IBAction func userInput(sender: UITextField) {
println("This is working")
}
}
