I'm looking for a clean way to enable two interactions within one screen.
For example:
1) User clicks on "Add Activity" button
2) User enters a number of standard units (e.g., 10 meters), and then picks an associated activity from a list (e.g., picklist of: jog, run, walk, crawl)
All I can think of right now is creating two separate entry fields - one that calls up numpad, and another that calls up the picker. Is it possible to created a tabbed numpad so that the user completes numerical entry, then just hits 'Activity Type' above the numpad and the element switches to a picker?
Appreciate any inputs!
Not with a stock keyboard. If all you need is a numpad, you ought to be able to implement a very reasonable keyboard out of a few buttons. Add a couple of "tab" buttons, and show/hide the appropriate view: keyboard or picker.

However I am creating a dart counter app but having trouble connecting the buttons to Text fields
I have buttons numbered 0-20 on the main story board and three text fields (one for each dart) how do I connect the buttons to the UITextFields - I can’t figure this out
Thanks
Based on my understanding of your issue, you actually need to connect the buttons to the text field in code. There is not going to be a simple way to do this in the interface builder. What you are looking for is to have some action happen when the user presses a number, and this may be added to the current value in the text field.
Create a function that handles any number button being pressed.
#IBAction func buttonPress(sender: UIButton) {
print(sender.tag)
//TODO: process the button based on its tag
}
Update all of the buttons in interface builder to have a tag value according to their number. This will let you handle them all in the same function (above) and differentiate between them.
Update the TODO block to handle the action appropriately. I would start by adding a variable to keep track of which dart number you are on, and using a switch statement to handle putting the value in the appropriate dart text box.
So there is always a current text field. Maintain an instance property that points to it. When the user taps a number, use that instance property to enter that value in that text field. When the user taps Enter, change the instance property to point to the next text field.
I'm creating my first app and I wanted to design an "add a new item" modal like in the health app:
Here I have three questions:
How the 3 input fields are designed that you see the hint all the time on the left and the imput on the right? Is this just one field?
Are this 3 fields usually stored in a tableView?
Is the entry for the Date a special keyboard type or a DatePicker?
That looks like a UITableView with a custom cell which has a UILabel on the left and an input field on the right. The picker is a UIDatePicker
I have several fields where I have several hyperlinks, lets say in fields A1:A10. I want to create Button A and Button B and put under it script so on Button A will open all links from range A1:A5 and on Button B will open all links from range A3:A10.
I know I can open them with right mouse button click, but I want to assign specific range to specific button.
In whatsapp, when we go to any particular user then at right corner there is more option (three dots menu). Then after clicking that menu, one list will come and again at last row there is navigate arrow, then after clicking on that row again new menu will come.
here is the images,
after clicking on more option, following view will appear
I want to implement this feature in my iOS Project. Anyone have any idea how to implement it ?
You can manage it with multiple ways!
First Way : Take two table view for the menu. Initially keep one tableview hidden. Then on more's click of first tableview, show second tableview and hide firt one.
Second Way : Take only one tableview and reload different data. I mean on click of main change your datasource for tableview and reload it.
DropDown menu's are considered bad practice in iOS. Use one UIAlertController to show first options, than on selecting the More show another UIAlertController.
I am new to swift and have trouble making drop down lists.
I have a story board that needs to contain about 6 questions the user needs to fill in and so far all i have working is picker views and i can only fit 2 or 3 on the screen.
What is the best way to to create a drop down lists in Swift?
For implementing drop down you can use the table view,set its hidden property YES and when user clicks on the text field change hidden property to NO.This is the easiest way to implement drop down using table view in ios.
