Add tableview cell with the value of UITextfield - ios

Question

I have a UITextField in a UITableView header. When the user enters anything in the UITextFields, the entry gets added to a NSMutableArray.
I want to create a new UITableCell with the value of the UITextField entry whenever textFieldShouldReturn is called.
I tried using reloadData but that seems to empty my array completely.
Any suggestions? Thanks
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)task
{
[task resignFirstResponder];
[self.tasksArray addObject:task.text];
NSLog(#"Test %#", self.tasksArray);
}
My cellForRowAtIndexPath
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
SwipeTableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (!cell) {
cell = [[SwipeTableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault
reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
[cell setDelegate:self];
[cell.contentView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
// Setting the default inactive state color to the tableView background color
[cell setDefaultColor:self.tableView.backgroundView.backgroundColor];
[cell setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleGray];
[cell.textLabel setText:self.task.text];
self.view = tableView;
cell.mode = SwipeTableViewCellModeExit;
return cell;
}
My UITableView header :
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section{
float width = tableView.bounds.size.width;
int fontSize = 18;
int padding = 1;
UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0,width, fontSize+11)];
view.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0 alpha:0];
view.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
view.tag = section;
UITextField *task = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(padding, 2,
width - padding , fontSize + 11)];
task.text = #"Type here";
task.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;
task.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
task.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
task.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
task.delegate = self;
task.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:fontSize];
[view addSubview:task];
self.tasksArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
return view;
}
viewDidLoad
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.tasksArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:0];
self.title = #"Test";
self.navigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor darkGrayColor];
UIView *backgroundView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
[backgroundView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:227.0 / 255.0
green:227.0 / 255.0
blue:227.0 / 255.0
alpha:1.0]];
[self.tableView setBackgroundView:backgroundView];
}

Answer 1

Remove [cell.textLabel setText:self.task.text];
And then,
Insert [self.yourTableOutletName reloadData]; after [self.tasksArray addObject:task.text];
Now your code will reload the tableView after adding a object into self.taskArray.
And then,
To reflect your array in tablView use this line.
Insert [cell.textLabel setText:[self.tasksArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]]; after [cell setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleGray];

Answer 2

This line pulls the data incorrectly: [cell.textLabel setText:self.task.text];
self.view = tableView;
It should be from your array.
Also you never reload data, that should be the last line in textFieldShouldReturn
