Moving to next textField inside an UITableView - uitextfield

I have a tableView full of sub-classed textFields. Below is how i created them:
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
NSString *cellIdentifier = kOddCellIdentifier;
CustomCell01 *oddCell = (CustomCell01 *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
oddCell.myTextfield.delegate=self;
oddCell.myTextfield.tag = indexPath.row;
oddCell.myTextfield.text=[[self.Page01dataArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]objectForKey:#"value"];
bool editable = [[[self.Page01dataArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:#"editable"] boolValue];
if (editable==true) {
oddCell.myTextfield.textColor=[UIColor redColor];
} else {
oddCell.myTextfield.textColor=[UIColor blackColor];
[oddCell.myTextfield setBorderStyle:UITextBorderStyleNone];
oddCell.myTextfield.enabled=NO;
}
[oddCell.myTextfield addTarget:self action:#selector(updateField:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventEditingDidEnd];
return oddCell;
}
I do not know how to move to the next textfield when the user taps on the "Next" button. Normally i should make the next textfield the first responder however since all my textfields have the same name "myTextfield", i do not know how to do it. Please help!

In cellForRowAtIndexPath, set the name to something like "myTextfield-<row>". Then you can parse that and know what the prev/next fields are. You are already setting myTextfield.tag to indexPath.row so you won't even have to parse the name. You know the previous and next fields are "myTextfield-<tag-1>" and "myTextfield-<tag+1>", respectively.

I finally managed to find out a solution by creating an array in cellForRowAtIndexPath
[nextTFarray addObject:oddCell.myTextfield];
and then:
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField {
int i=[nextTFarray count];
int x=textField.tag+1;
UITextField *nextTextField = (UITextField *)[nextTFarray objectAtIndex:x];
if (x<i-1) {
[nextTextField becomeFirstResponder];
} else {
[textField resignFirstResponder];
}
return YES;
}

xcode Converting UITableView to UICollectionView (no valid cell)

EDIT: I should specify that this only happens when I attempt to use the UICollectionViewFlowLayout, not when I try to use a custom view. But either way nothing ever shows up on the CollectionView though it was working just fine before I converted from a TableView.)
So I've been trying to convert a UITableView that I had into a UICollectionView. So far so good. But when I try to run the app it gives me the error:
'the collection view's data source did not return a valid cell from -collectionView:cellForItemAtIndexPath: for index path {length = 2, path = 0 - 0}'
I checked all the similar questions and answers here... so in my viewDidLoad I have (tableView is actually a UICollectionView):
UINib * placeCell = [UINib nibWithNibName:#"Shops" bundle:nil];
[self.tableView registerNib:placeCell
forCellWithReuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
#pragma mark - UICollectionViewDataSource
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInCollectionView:(UICollectionView *)tableView
{
// Return the number of sections.
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UICollectionView *)tableView numberOfItemsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
// Return the number of rows in the section.
return [_entries count];
//return 5;
}
- (void)tableView:(UICollectionView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UICollectionViewCell *)cell forItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
if (indexPath.item == [_entries count]-1 && page > 1) {
NSLog(#"load more");
//add footer view loading
if (c_page == page) {
// _tableView.tableFooterView = nil;
}
else
{
c_page++;
[self loadPlace:c_page];
}
}
}
- (UICollectionViewCell *)tableView:(UICollectionView *)tableView cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
PlaceCell *cell = (PlaceCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
UINib * placeCell = [UINib nibWithNibName:#"Shops" bundle:nil];
//cell = [cellLoader instantiateWithOwner:self options:nil];
NSArray *topLevelItems = [placeCell instantiateWithOwner:self options:nil];
cell = [topLevelItems objectAtIndex:0];
Place *p = [_entries objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.placeName.text = p.PName;
NSLog (#"p:%#", p.PName")
cell.placeImg.image = [UIImage imageWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:p.PImage]]];
return cell;
}
I went into the xib of the UICollectionViewCell (PlaceCell) and made sure that "Cell" was the reuseidentifier. And I made sure that the datasource and delegate were connected to file's owner in the collectionView.
I also noticed that when I use a custom layout instead of the flow layout (like this one: https://github.com/ShadoFlameX/PhotoCollectionView/blob/master/CollectionViewTutorial/BHPhotoAlbumLayout.m ) it doesn't give me that error... but my collectionview still isn't populated.
So I'm wondering if there's some sort of log I can run or something I can do to figure out what's going wrong. Because I've tried all the solutions I've seen and it hasn't gotten me anywhere.
When you make a cell in a xib file you should register the xib, not the class. Also, when you register either the class or xib (or make the cell in the storyboard), you don't need an if (cell==nil) clause because your cell will never be nil when you dequeue it with dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:forIndexPath:. You should delete that clause.
So the problem is: "Switched from UITableView to UICollectionView and no valid cell is being returned." It is really a two part answer. The crux of which is every instance of UITableView...
_tableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 50, self.view.bounds.size.width, self.view.bounds.size.height-50)];
...you want to turn into "CollectionView"
_collectionView = [[UICollectionView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 50, self.view.bounds.size.width, self.view.bounds.size.height-50)];
Everything that's a "row":
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
...you'll want to turn into an "item."
- (NSInteger)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView numberOfItemsInSection:(NSInteger)section
Ultimately I had to delete the following section entirely:
UINib * placeCell = [UINib nibWithNibName:#"Shops" bundle:nil];
//cell = [cellLoader instantiateWithOwner:self options:nil];
NSArray *topLevelItems = [placeCell instantiateWithOwner:self options:nil];
cell = [topLevelItems objectAtIndex:0];
My best guess is that the Nib was being loaded twice and that Xcode was complaining that the data wasn't being loaded by the original. So getting rid of that second entry got my cells loaded and populated with data. Hope this helps someone.

How to change subview's title from a table selected row in Xcode?

Here is the problem: I have a table view, custom cells, and detail view. I have 10 rows in my table and when the user selects one of the rows, the detail view opens. How to set the detail view nav bar's title from the selected row of my table view? I have three classes - televisionList (my tableview), televisionCell (my cells in the table view) and televisionDetail (my detail view which opens when a row is selected). In my televisionCell I have declared the following label:
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *tvLabel;
In my televisionList (the tableview) I have this method:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
televisionCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil)
{
NSArray *objects = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"televisionCell" owner:self options:nil];
for (id currentObject in objects)
{
if ([currentObject isKindOfClass:[UITableViewCell class]])
{
cell = (televisionCell *)currentObject;
break;
}
}
}
switch (indexPath.row)
{
case 0:
{
cell.imageView.image = bnt;
cell.tvLabel.text = #"БНТ 1";
cell.backgroundView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"lightbackgr.png"];
break;
}
case 1:
{
cell.imageView.image = btv;
cell.tvLabel.text = #"bTV";
cell.backgroundView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"background-cell.png"];
break;
}
case 2:
{
cell.imageView.image = novatv;
cell.tvLabel.text = #"Нова TV";
cell.backgroundView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"lightbackgr.png"];
break;
}
}
Now, I want to change my detail view title to be equal to cell.tvLabel.text when a row is selected. Where and how to do that? Thanks in advance!
As you wrote, you want to set the title, when the cell is selected, so the best way will be to use:
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
televisionCell *cell=[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
details.title=cell.tvLabel.text;
}
However, you may consider introducing the model object to your app and keep them in some array(objects in the example below`. So the method would look like:
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
YourObject* obj=[self.objects objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
details.title=obj.stationName;
}

Xcode: iPad keyboard troubles (not that simple)

I am making an app which uses many Textfields. Most of them are inside static tableViews. I use the split view application template. Every category selected from the left panel presents a storyboard scene inside a second view on the right panel.
I just want to get rid of the keyboard with the "done" button however everything i have tried that would work on a simple view fails to work under these circumstances.
Can you please help me out with this?
p.s. I try to dismiss the keyboard inside the implementation file of the presented storyboard scene. Should i do something inside the Detail Scene of the split view controller?
Here is my Scene's code:
.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface AfoEsoda : UITableViewController <UITextFieldDelegate>{
}
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *merismataTF;
-(IBAction)hideKeyboard:(id)sender;
#end
.m
#synthesize merismataTF;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
merismataTF.delegate=self ;
}
//---------Hide Keyboard-------------------
//Tried but didn't work
-(IBAction)hideKeyboard:(id)sender {
[merismataTF resignFirstResponder];
}
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField {
[textField resignFirstResponder];
return YES;
}
//Of course i do not use both methods at the same time.
EDIT:
When i set the textfield's delegate to self i get this crash:
Try implementing the textField's delegate, set the delegate to self, and in the delegate's method
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField
set
[textField resignFirstResponder];
Another way could be going through all of the view's subviews and if it is a text field, resign first responder:
for(int i=0;i<self.view.subviews.count;i++)
{
if([[self.view.subviews objectAtIndex:i] isKindOfClass:[UITextField class]])
{
if([[self.view.subviews objectAtIndex:i] isFirstResponder])
[[self.view.subviews objectAtIndex:i] resignFirstResponder];
}}
OK, I got it. Use this with with the textFieldShouldReturn method.
So here is your answer: You have declared your text field as a property and then use alloc and init it over and over again for each cell. Probably it only works properly for the last row.
Here is an example of how your cellForRow method should look like:
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{ static NSString *cellIdentifier = #"My cell identifier";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
UITextField *newTextField;
if(cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
newTextField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake:(0,0,25,25)];
newTextField.tag = 1;
newTextField.delegate = self;
[cell.contentView addSubview:newTextField];
}
else
newTextField = (UITextField *)[cell.contentView viewWithTag:1];
And then, if you need the textField's value for a certaing row, simply use:
UITextField *someTextField = (UITextField *)[[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath].contentView viewWithTag:1];
NSLog(#"textField.text = %#", someTextField.text);

<NSInternalInconsistencyException> Invalid update: invalid number of sections

I am adding user defined text in a UItableView via a modal view controller.
The table is created as a NSMutableArray. on entering data in the modal view and tapping a Done button a Invalid update: invalid number of sections. error is generated.
I must update the array when the user enters data but not sure how to do that. I have attached the relevant code. Thanks for your advice.
//Number of sections
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView { return 1; }
//Number of rows
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return [listOfConjProcedures count];
}
//Loading the cells
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
// Configure the cell.
cell.textLabel.text = [listOfConjProcedures objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
//Done button Delegate for the modal view
- (void)itemDetailViewController:(ItemDetailViewController *)controller didFinishAddingItem:(ChecklistItem *)item
{
int newRowIndex = [listOfConjProcedures indexOfObject:item];
[listOfConjProcedures addObject:item];
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:newRowIndex inSection:0];
NSArray *indexPaths = [NSArray arrayWithObject:indexPath];
[self.tableView insertRowsAtIndexPaths:indexPaths withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationAutomatic];
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
I think your problem may be here:
int newRowIndex = [listOfConjProcedures indexOfObject:item];
This wouldn't have an index unless you'd already added it to the array, but in the next line you add it to the array, so it doesn't make sense.
I think you are therefore adding a row at index path 0,NSNotFound, which will confuse the table view. Either use the count of the array as the row index, or insert your new row at the start (0,0) of the table (and at index 0 of the array).

How to get indexPath in a tableview from a button action in a cell?

I have a tableview with two actions in it, for the first on i use the delegate didSelectRowAtIndexPath, for the second one i would like to use an action on a button on my cell to do something else. My problem is that i don't succeed to get the indexpath ? What is the best practice to do that.
If you have added the button to the cell as,
[cell.contentView addSubview:button];
then, you can get the index path as,
- (void)onButtonTapped:(UIButton *)button {
UITableViewCell *cell = (UITableViewCell *)button.superview.superview;
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [tableView indexPathForCell:cell];
// Go ahead
}
I'm using this solution -- getting index path of cell using points
CGPoint center= [sender center];
CGPoint rootViewPoint = [[sender superview] convertPoint:center toView:_tableView1];
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [_tableView1 indexPathForRowAtPoint:rootViewPoint];
NSLog(#"%#",indexPath);
Its work perfectly
here is the full code for a custom button:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
CustomCellFilter *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (!cell) {cell = [[CustomCellFilter alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];}
//configure your cell here
cell.titleLabel.text = #"some title";
//add button
UIButton *myButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
resetButton.frame = CGRectMake(40, 10, 18, 18);
[resetButton addTarget:self action:#selector(onButtonTapped:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[resetButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"someimage.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[cell.contentView addSubview:myButton];
//afterwards return the cell
return cell;
- (void)onButtonTapped:(UIButton *)button {
UITableViewCell *cell = (UITableViewCell *)button.superview.superview;
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [filterTable indexPathForCell:cell];
NSLog(#"%#", indexPath);
//use indexPath here...
}
In case you are using a collection view, you can use Yogesh method, but change indexPathForRowAtPoint for indexPathForItemAtPoint like this:
CGPoint center= [sender center];
CGPoint rootViewPoint = [[sender superview] convertPoint:center toView:_tableView1];
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [_tableView1 indexPathForRowAtPoint:rootViewPoint];
NSLog(#"%#",indexPath);
In case that your button is moved or Apple changes the view hierarchy for accessory views, this method goes up the chain to look for a UITableViewCell:
- (void)tapAccessoryButton:(UIButton *)sender {
UIView *parentView = sender.superview;
// the loop should take care of any changes in the view heirarchy, whether from
// changes we make or apple makes.
while (![parentView.class isSubclassOfClass:UITableViewCell.class])
parentView = parentView.superview;
if ([parentView.class isSubclassOfClass:UITableViewCell.class]) {
UITableViewCell *cell = (UITableViewCell *) parentView;
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForCell:cell];
[self tableView:self.tableView accessoryButtonTappedForRowWithIndexPath:indexPath];
}
}
