How to add some text after end editing UITextfield in iOS - ios

Question

I want to add some strings after end editing in UITextField.
Example :
textfield 1 : user input 1000 . After focus to textfield2,I want to add "miles" to textfield1. => textfield1 : 1000 miles
And if user focus to textfield1 again, it shows only 1000 for user edit, do not have "miles".
I tried but it not work
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *) event
{
UITouch *touch = [[event allTouches] anyObject];
if ([textfield1 isFirstResponder] && (textfield1 != touch.view))
{
textfield1.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"miles"];
}
if ([textfield2 isFirstResponder] && (textfield2 != touch.view))
{
....
}
}

Answer 1

you can use the delegate methods of UITextField to do this
- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField;
and
- (void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField;

Answer 2

please try this,
- (void)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
textField.text=#"";
}
- (void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
textfield1.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# miles",textField.text];
}
here textFieldDidEndEditing is textField's delegate method. you need to set textfield1.delegate=self.
hope this code will help you.

Answer 3

Try this :-
- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
if(textField.tag==10) // textfield 1
{
if(![ _txt1.text rangeOfString:#"miles"].location!= NSNotFound)
{
_txt1.text = [_txt1.text stringByAppendingString:#"miles"];
}
}
else if (textField.tag == 20) // textfield 2
{
if([ _txt1.text rangeOfString:#"miles"].location!= NSNotFound)
{
_txt1.text = [_txtUser1.text stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"miles" withString:#""];
}
}
}
NOTE:- Set tag to your textfields as 10 & 20._txt1 is your textfield1 (UITextfield)

Answer 4

Make text global variable of NSString and then
- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
if(text.length>0)
{
self.textField.text =text;
}
}
- (void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
text =self.txtField.text;
self.txtField.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# miles", text];
}

Answer 5

Set the delagate of your textfield, like below
#interface YourController : UIViewController <UITextFeildDelegate>
and then use the following methods to check
-(void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
if(textField....) //condition to check textfeild is
{
//do your stuff
}
}
Hope this helps

Answer 6

set tag for textField1 like this
self.textField1.tag = 100;
on viewDidLoad to your textField outlet, then
-(void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
if (textField.tag == 100)
{
self.txtUserId.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# miles", self.txtUserId.text];
}
}
since this is a delegate method it will fire for each textField end edit event that is why you have to check with tag number. and dont forget to set the delegate
#interface YourController : UIViewController <UITextFeildDelegate>
