So I'm trying to figure out ideas for my registration page in xCode -- something like this: http://weswilliams.me/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/IMG_2525-e1307910945329.png
At any rate, I can't figure out what objects they are using to achieve this display. It looks like a TextField on top of a Button? If it is, I can never get the Text Field to sit on top, it always falls behind the button, thus making it invisible.
Any tips or suggestions?
This is not a textfield on the button. Actually it is text box inside a table view. You have to do the following :
Take a table view on the nib.
Create the outlet and set the delegate and datasource.
Then add the following code to your .m file.
try this one
before this set the number of rows the table view has.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)table cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UITableViewCell *cell = [table dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"Cell"];
if( cell == nil)
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:#"Cell"] autorelease];
cell.textLabel.text = [[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"First",#"Second",#"Third",#"Forth",#"Fifth",#"Sixth",#"Seventh",#"Eighth",#"Nineth",#"Tenth",nil]
objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
if (indexPath.row % 2) {
UITextField *textField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 21)];
textField.placeholder = #"Enter Text";
textField.text = [inputTexts objectAtIndex:indexPath.row/2];
textField.tag = indexPath.row/2;
textField.delegate = self;
cell.accessoryView = textField;
[textField release];
} else
cell.accessoryView = nil;
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
return cell;
}

Thats a basic grouped UITableView. Read up on Apple docs. There are a ton of tutorials on that too.

I just started Xcode objective-c recently and right now I'm trying to create a tableview with textfields in them to type. Ive looked into other stack overflow questions but many are from 6-8 years ago and seem to have a wide rage of answers and extremely complex. Could someone help me with the basics of how I can insert a textfield in a table view and give me some advice. Thanks!
Write this code in uitableview cell
UITextField *textField = [[UITextField alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(110, 10, 185, 30)];
textField.clearsOnBeginEditing = NO;
textField.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentRight;
textField.delegate = self;
[aCell.contentView addSubview:txt];
You can do this as follows:
Drag and drop a UITableView in to your view
Drag and drop a UITableViewCell into your table.
Drag and drop a UITextField (or any
other UI component that you need)
I would suggest you to please refer tutorials for that like
1.https://videos.raywenderlich.com/courses/22-table-views-in-ios/lessons/8
2.https://www.appcoda.com/expandable-table-view/
They have best tutorials with all steps you can easily do whatever you want.
I hope it will help you.
Thanks.
Try below code
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"MyIdentifier"];
if (cell == nil) {
/*
* Actually create a new cell (with an identifier so that it can be dequeued).
*/
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:#"MyIdentifier"];
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
}
/*
* Now that we have a cell we can configure it to display the data corresponding to
* this row/section
*/
UITextField *tf = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(45, 30, 200, 40)];
tf.textColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0/256.0 green:84/256.0 blue:129/256.0 alpha:1.0];
tf.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica-Bold" size:25];
tf.backgroundColor=[UIColor whiteColor];
tf.text=#"Hello World";
[cell.contentView addSubview:tf];
/* Now that the cell is configured we return it to the table view so that it can display it */
return cell;
}
You can create a custom cell. Add the textfield in it and use that in the table by registering the nib or class.
I have a master detail app in ios, with SDK 7.0, Xcode 5, using ARC.
master has many items, detail has a table view. When I click on an item, the contents of tableview will change. This works well until I put a UITextField in each cell, because I want to edit the contents in the table.
The problem is: when I click on a new item, the old contents don't disappear，so the contents of a cell is a superposition of the new UITextField's text and the old UITextField's text.
The first normal tableview like this:
After I click on an new item, the tableview will like this:
The snippet of codes of master is:
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
LHBPoetry *poetry = poetryArray[indexPath.row];
self.detailViewController.poetryId = poetry.poetryId;
}
I have tried a lot of things in the above method, for example, I make all instances of the detail view controller to be nil; table view's data array removeAllObejects; table view reloadData; It can't fix the problem.
The snippet of detail is:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *cellIdentifier = #"detailCell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
UITextField *textField = textField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:
CGRectMake(90, 12, 200, 25)];
textField.tag = indexPath.row;
textField.text =_sentenceArray[indexPath.row];
textField.clearsOnBeginEditing = NO;
textField.delegate = self;
textField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyDone;
[textField addTarget:self
action:#selector(textFieldDone:)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventEditingDidEnd];
[cell.contentView addSubview:textField];
textField.text = _sentenceArray[indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
I draw this tableview in Main.storyborad, It has a prototype cell with an identifier.
Any help will be appreciated.
k there is something i want to tell, wy because u are keep on adding the textfields for reused cells, there is not one textfield in the cell ..:) there are more then one text field's, because of that u are getting overlapped with one other, i think u are using default "master- detail" application, and modifying it..:)
oky for that u need to modify like below
in master controller
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"Cell"];
if(cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc]initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:#"Cell"];
UITextField *textField = [[UITextField alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(2, 3, 300, 30)];
[textField addTarget:self action:#selector(textFieldDone:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventEditingDidEnd]; //hear u are adding once initially
textField.tag = 100;
[cell addSubview:textField];
}
NSString *object = _objects[indexPath.row];//_objects is mutable array holding the sentences or names
UITextField *textField = (UITextField *)[cell viewWithTag:100];//after that u are reusing the textfields
textField.text = object;
textField.tag = indexPath.row;
return cell;
}
now you are creating the cell thats wy u dont want the prototype cell remove it from story board
in the above u removed the custom cell becz u are creating the cell in the code it self
now in the method
- (void) textFieldDone:(UITextField *)inTextFIeld
{
int index = inTextFIeld.tag;
[_objects replaceObjectAtIndex:index withObject:[inTextFIeld text]];
[self.masterTableVIew reloadData];//made connection to ur tableview
}
I have a simple tableView with 20 rows. I created a subclass custom UITableview cell, and in cellforRowAtIndex, I add a textfield to the cell once every other 3 rows. When I scroll up and down text fields show up in the wrong rows. Note, I can't make UItextfield part of my custom cell, because this can be anything, checkbox, radio button, but for simplicity I chose UITextfield... What am I doing wrong?
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath: (NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"TestCellIdentifier";
testCell *cell = (testCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
if(!cell)
cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
else{
//HMMM I also tried removing it before adding it- it doesn't work neither
for(UIView *v in cell.subviews){
if(v.tag == 999 ){
[v removeFromSuperview];
}
}
//add UItextField to row if it's divisible by 3
if(indexPath.row %3 ==0){
UITextField *textField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(400, 10, 300, 30)];
textField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;
textField.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:15];
textField.placeholder = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d",indexPath.row];
textField.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;
textField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeDefault;
textField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyDone;
textField.clearButtonMode = UITextFieldViewModeWhileEditing;
textField.contentVerticalAlignment = UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentCenter;
textField.tag = 999;
[cell addSubview:textField];
}
}
cell.textLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d",indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
don't use the Reusability ?
in this scene,i will not use the reusability
Reusing cells is a good thing and you should be able to do it.
You could consider removing the text field from the cell when it goes offscreen, before it is queued for reuse, in the delegate protocol method:
– tableView:didEndDisplayingCell:forRowAtIndexPath:
Knowing the row number you would know whether or not to remove the textfield.
Edited to add explanation:
On first glance your code looks OK, so I did a little test project.
The problem with your original code is that you're adding the textfield to the wrong "view" -- UITableViewCells have some structure that you need to pay attention to. Look at the documentation for the UITableViewCell contentView property. It says, in part:
If you want to customize cells by simply adding additional views, you
should add them to the content view so they will be positioned
appropriately as the cell transitions into and out of editing mode.
So the code should add to and enumerate subviews of the cell's contentView:
for(UIView *v in cell.contentView.subviews){
if(v.tag == 999 ){
[v removeFromSuperview];
}
}
...
textField.tag = 999;
[cell.contentView addSubview:textField];
I have a screen with a picture and a label in the top part and somewhere in the middle i want to add two textfields. I really like the way Facebook login screen looks and i would like to do something similar but that is not too easy for me, being an absolute beginner.
I am using Storyboards and the view controller for the current screen implements UIViewController.
I would like to understand how to manage it, so, any tips are apreaciated.
Thanks.
LE:This is what i have tried, but with no result:
I added a table view on the screen and i created properties for the two text fields so i can dynamically add the two text field in the 2 cells.
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section{
return 2;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)table cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UITableViewCell *cell = [table dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"Cell"];
if( cell == nil)
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:#"Cell"];
if (indexPath.row == 0) {
self.txtUsername = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 280, 20)];
self.txtUsername .placeholder = #"Username";
self.txtUsername .autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;
[self.txtUsername setClearButtonMode:UITextFieldViewModeWhileEditing];
cell.accessoryView = self.txtUsername ;
}
if (indexPath.row == 1) {
self.txtPassword = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 280, 20)];
self.txtPassword.placeholder = #"Password";
self.txtPassword.secureTextEntry = YES;
self.txtPassword.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;
[self.txtPassword setClearButtonMode:UITextFieldViewModeWhileEditing];
cell.accessoryView = self.txtPassword;
}
[cell addSubview:self.txtUsername];
[cell addSubview:self.txtPassword];
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
return cell;
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView{
return 1;
}
I am not using Static cells so i figured it out the only way is to programatically add those text fields.
Should i user Static cells?
What are you are looking to do can be easy achieved with a tableView and just insert your text fields inside of your cells. Give this documentation on table views a read for a better understanding on how they work : Apple's Documentation on Table View Programming
If you are working on storyboards like stated in your description, then you will want to delete the delegate methods you have in your view controller (the code that you posted) for the table view, the app will not work this way.
Sounds like what you are trying to achieve can be done with Static cells, therefore You shouldn't use the data source methods.
I want to create a view like this in my iPhone App:
I do not know exactly what is this control in iOS, that maybe I can set an icon and text in the left side and that small sign in the right side.
I have implemented a TableView, there I was able to set these stuff, like this:
[[cell textLabel] setText:customer.name];
[[cell textLabel] setTextColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
[[cell imageView] setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"icon.png"]];
//[[cell detailTextLabel] setText:#"Awsome weather idag"];
cell.accessoryView = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
But how can I make it works like that view in the picture?
It is pretty simple, follow the steps below and in case of doubts check out the UITableView documentation:
1. Create a grouped table view:
Programmatically:
CGRect tableFrame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 200);
UITableView *tableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:tableFrame style:UITableViewGroupedStyle];
tableView.delegate = self;
tableView.dataSource = self;
[self.view addSubview:tableView];
Allocating a UITableViewController subclass (common case):
MyTableViewController *controller [[MyTableViewController alloc] initWithStyle: UITableViewGroupedStyle];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:NO];
Through Interface Build:
Expand the Utilities Menu (top right corner icon);
Select your table view (click on it);
Click on the attributes inspector (top right corner fourth icon);
Under Table View, click on the style dropdown and select grouped.
2. Implement the UITableViewDataSource protocol:
Basically add this three functions to your controller.
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
// Return the number of sections.
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
// Return the number of rows in a given section.
return 5;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
// Configure the cells.
return cell;
}
3. Configuring the cells:
The default style of a UITableViewCell has an image view (UIImageView), a title label (UILabel) and an accessory view (UIView). All you need to replicate the table view in the image you provided.
So, you're looking for something like this in tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath::
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString * const cellIdentifierDefault = #"default";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifierAccount];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifierAccount];
}
if (indexPath.section == 0) {
cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageName:#"bluetooth_icon"];
cell.textLabel.text = #"Bluetooth";
// Additional setup explained later.
}else{
if (indexPath.row == 0) {
cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageName:#"general_icon"];
cell.textLabel.text = #"General";
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
}else{
cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageName:#"privacy_icon"];
cell.textLabel.text = #"Privacy";
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
}
}
return cell;
}
The property accessoryType defines what is going to appear on the right side of a cell, a list of accessory types can be found here.
In the first cell (bluetooth), you'll need to create a custom accessory view and assign it to the cell's accessoryView property. A very naive example of how to achieve this is given below:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString * const cellIdentifierDefault = #"default";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifierAccount];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifierAccount];
label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 44)];
label.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentRight;
cell.accessoryView = label;
}else{
label = (UILabel *) cell.accessoryView;
}
cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageName:#"bluetooth_icon"];
cell.textLabel.text = #"Bluetooth";
label.text = #"Off";
return cell;
}
Hope this helps, Mateus
For fast output, you can use some library like
https://github.com/escoz/QuickDialog
protip, in my experience, solutions like this leaves you more tangled when Changes come in.
Some times you only want to change one specific label on once specific view, thats not gona be easy in any ready-made solution.
Look into UITableView Sections. That is what separates the groups apart.
