UITextField in input dialog not showing up - ios

I am implementing a simple dialog which asks for a name. This is my code:
UIAlertView* dialog = [[UIAlertView alloc] init];
[dialog setDelegate:self];
[dialog setTitle:#"Enter Name"];
[dialog setMessage:#" "];
[dialog addButtonWithTitle:#"Cancel"];
[dialog addButtonWithTitle:#"OK"];
UITextField *nameField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20.0, 45.0, 245.0, 25.0)];
[nameField setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
[dialog addSubview:nameField];
CGAffineTransform moveUp = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(0.0, 20.0);
[dialog setTransform: moveUp];
[dialog show];
[dialog release];
[nameField release];
It used to work fine but in iOS 7 the textfield doesn't show up. Can anyone help?

this will not work anymore in iOS7
try this instead
UIAlertView * alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:nil message:NSLocalizedString(#"Enter a phone number",nil) delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:NSLocalizedString(#"Cancel",nil) otherButtonTitles:NSLocalizedString(#"OK",nil), nil];
alert.alertViewStyle = UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput;
[alert setTag:1];
[[alert textFieldAtIndex:0] setDelegate:self];
[[alert textFieldAtIndex:0] resignFirstResponder];
[[alert textFieldAtIndex:0] setPlaceholder:NSLocalizedString(#"Enter Number here", nil)];
[[alert textFieldAtIndex:0] setKeyboardType:UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad];
[[alert textFieldAtIndex:0] becomeFirstResponder];
[alert show];
[alert release];
You can change your keyboard type for your requirement.
Good luck:)

Try to use like this...And there is no need to add text field as subview.
UIAlertView* dialog = [[UIAlertView alloc] init];
[dialog setDelegate:self];
[dialog setTitle:#"Enter Name"];
[dialog setMessage:#" "];
[dialog addButtonWithTitle:#"Cancel"];
[dialog addButtonWithTitle:#"OK"];
dialog.alertViewStyle = UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput;
CGAffineTransform moveUp = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(0.0, 20.0);
[dialog setTransform: moveUp];
[dialog show];
[dialog release];
[nameField release];

UIAlertViewStyleLoginAndPasswordInput placeholder text won't set

I have an app that uses a UIAlertViewStyleLoginAndPasswordInput alert view. Everything works fine with the exception that the password field's placeholder text has some strange behavior. On my sim it refuses to change from 'Password' regardless of what I set it as. And Ive been having reports that it flip flops between 'Password" and the value I wish to set it at. This seems to be all iOS7 related.
I am attempting to set these values in the 'willPresentAlertView' delegate.
- (void)willPresentAlertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView
{
...
else if (alertView.tag == UIAlertViewTagInactivityTimeOut)
{
badgeNumberTextField = [alertView textFieldAtIndex:0];
verifyBadgeNumberTextField = [alertView textFieldAtIndex:1];
[badgeNumberTextField setPlaceholder:#"Badge Number"];
[verifyBadgeNumberTextField setPlaceholder:#"Verify Badge Number"];
[verifyBadgeNumberTextField setSecureTextEntry:NO];
[badgeNumberTextField setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:ALERT_VIEW_TEXTFIELD_TEXT_FONT]];
[verifyBadgeNumberTextField setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:ALERT_VIEW_TEXTFIELD_TEXT_FONT]];
[badgeNumberTextField setKeyboardType:UIKeyboardTypeNamePhonePad];
[verifyBadgeNumberTextField setKeyboardType:UIKeyboardTypeNamePhonePad];
[badgeNumberTextField setClearButtonMode:UITextFieldViewModeWhileEditing];
[verifyBadgeNumberTextField setClearButtonMode:UITextFieldViewModeWhileEditing];
[badgeNumberTextField setDelegate:self];
[verifyBadgeNumberTextField setDelegate:self];
...
//other code
}
}
Have you tried set the placeholder where you create the UIAlertView?
Try this:
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Title" message:#"Message" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:#"Login", nil];
alert.alertViewStyle = UIAlertViewStyleLoginAndPasswordInput;
[alert textFieldAtIndex:0].placeholder = #"Username placeholder";
[alert textFieldAtIndex:1].placeholder = #"Password placeholder";
[alert show];

Can we programmatically insert text in UIAlertView's textfield, iOS7

Can we programmatically insert text in UIAlertView's textfield, iOS7
Created UIAlertView with textinput in IOS7.
Can anyone help me with "inserting text programatically in textfield"?
Hopefully this will give answer for your question.
UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] init];
alertView.delegate = self;
alertView.title = #"Enter Info";
alertView.alertViewStyle = UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput;
[alertView addButtonWithTitle:#"Cancel"];
[alertView addButtonWithTitle:#"OK"];
[alertView textFieldAtIndex:0].text = #"My Text";
[alertView show];
You can achieve this by using this code
UIAlertView *alert=[[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"" message:#"whatever you like" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Ok" otherButtonTitles:#"Cancel", nil];
alert.alertViewStyle=UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput;
[alert textFieldAtIndex:0].text=#"Hello";
[alert show];
and result will be like this:
Please try to use like this..
UIAlertView* av = [[UIAlertView alloc] init];
[av setDelegate:self];
[av setTitle:#"Hi"];
[av setMessage:nil];
[av addButtonWithTitle:#"Cancel"];
[av addButtonWithTitle:#"OK"];
av.alertViewStyle = UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput;
[av textFieldAtIndex:0].text = #"Text";
You can use text property to set text inside textfield.
textFiled.text = #"YOUR TEXT";

UIAlertView with one text field (for login purpose)

When i pull the tableView downwards, an alertView should appear with a login text field.
The alert has to come but the textField is not to be selected.
Once i click on this textField, then the keyboard should appear.
For this i am using this code:
- (void)toggleCells:(UIRefreshControl*)refreshControl
{
message = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Create a new list"
message:#""
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel"
otherButtonTitles:#"OK", nil];
[message setAlertViewStyle:UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput];
[message setTag:1001];
//[message textFieldAtIndex:0].delegate = self;
[refreshControl beginRefreshing];
[message show];
[refreshControl endRefreshing];
//...
}
try: (not so nice but a quick-fix)
message = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Create a new list"
message:nil
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel"
otherButtonTitles:#"OK", nil];
[message setAlertViewStyle:UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput];
[message setTag:1001];
[[message textFieldAtIndex:0] setDelegate:self]; //you'll surely need it later
[message show];
[[message textFieldAtIndex:0] resignFirstResponder]; //after showing the alertView
NOTE: The method above ain't really nice.
Alternative Method:
NOTE: declare "BOOL skipAlertTextField;" in the .h
- (void)toggleCells:(UIRefreshControl*)refreshControl {
//...
message = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Create a new list"
message:nil
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel"
otherButtonTitles:#"OK", nil];
[message setAlertViewStyle:UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput];
[message setTag:1001];
[[message textFieldAtIndex:0] setDelegate:self];
skipAlertTextField = YES; //important
[message show];
//...
}
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
if(textField.tag == 1001 && skipAlertTextField) {
skipAlertTextField = NO;
return NO;
}
return YES;
}
Try this
UIAlertView *av = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"SayWhat" message:#"Please enter Email address" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:#"Ok", nil];
av.alertViewStyle = UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput;
[av setAlertViewStyle:UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput];
[[av textFieldAtIndex:0] setPlaceholder:#"Email address"];
[[av textFieldAtIndex:0] setDelegate:self];
[av show];
[[av textFieldAtIndex:0] resignFirstResponder];

Resign is not working in UITextField of UIAlertView?

i created alert view,in alert view one text field will come but when i click return button on keyboard it doesn't disappear,even i add the delegate to .h file.
-(BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField
{
[textField resignFirstResponder];
return YES;
}
-(IBAction)barButtonPressed:(id)sender
{
UIAlertView *alert=[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Enter Data" message:#"\n\n\n" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:#"Ok", nil];
textUserName =[[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(50.0f, 50.0f, 200.0f, 40.0f)];
textUserName.placeholder = #"Name";
textUserName.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;
textUserName.textAlignment=UITextAlignmentLeft;
textUserName.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
textUserName.enabled = YES;
textUserName.enablesReturnKeyAutomatically= NO;
textUserName.clearsOnBeginEditing = NO;
textUserName.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;
textUserName.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeDefault;
textUserName.delegate = self;
//[textUserName setReturnKeyType:UIReturnKeyDone];
**strong text**
[alert
addSubview:textUserName];
[alert show];
[self resignFirstResponder];
}
thank you
You can use UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput of UIAlertView to get text field in alertView :
UIAlertView *alert=[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Enter Data" message:#"\n\n\n" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:#"Ok", nil];
// Set alertView style
alert.alertViewStyle = UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput;
textUserName =[alert textFieldAtIndex:0];
// Then customize your textField
textUserName.placeholder = #"Name";
textUserName.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;
textUserName.textAlignment=UITextAlignmentLeft;
textUserName.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
textUserName.enabled = YES;
textUserName.enablesReturnKeyAutomatically= NO;
textUserName.clearsOnBeginEditing = NO;
textUserName.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;
textUserName.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeDefault;
[alert show];
In this no need of setting delegate separately..
You need to set delegate property of UITextField after initializing it.
use:
textUserName =[[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(50.0f, 50.0f, 200.0f, 40.0f)];
textUserName.delegate = self;

UIAlertView: UIAlertViewStyleSecureTextInput: Numeric keyboard

I'm currently using this UIAlertView to do a login popup,
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Restricted"
message:#"Please Enter Code to Enable Fields"
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel"
otherButtonTitles:#"Login"
, nil];
alert.alertViewStyle = UIAlertViewStyleSecureTextInput;
[alert show];
However I would like the text input to be a numeric keyboard instead of the regular keyboard
Is there a easy way to do this, or do I have to look into creating a custom UIAleartView
You can try this to change the keyboard type of the UIAlertView's field:
[[alert textFieldAtIndex:0] setDelegate:self];
[[alert textFieldAtIndex:0] setKeyboardType:UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad];
[[alert textFieldAtIndex:0] becomeFirstResponder];
Cool answer but for iOS 7 I have a little adaptation
alert.alertViewStyle = UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput;
[alert show];
[[alert textFieldAtIndex:0] setDelegate:self];
[[alert textFieldAtIndex:0] resignFirstResponder];
[[alert textFieldAtIndex:0] setKeyboardType:UIKeyboardTypePhonePad];
[[alert textFieldAtIndex:0] becomeFirstResponder];
UIAlertView *alertView1 = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Enter File Number" message:#"" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:#"Ok", nil];
alertView1.alertViewStyle = UIKeyboardTypePhonePad;
myTextField = [alertView1 textFieldAtIndex:0];
myTextField.keyboardType=UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad;
[alertView1 setTag:3];
[alertView1 show];
