I was hoping I can get some help with creating a username and password box similar to the one Yahoo uses on their iPhone app. It seems to have a separator in the single textview box. I'm still new to using Cocoa so I still have a lot to learn.
I have attached an image of the screenshot I took.
Thanks!

The Yahoo screenshot shows what looks like a grouped UITableView with two cells. The separator is the line between the cells, and each of the cells would contain a UITextView.

A basic functionality I am trying to implement in UITextView.
I have a text (NSString) and I am trying to place in to the text field as a paragraph (indentation). Is it possible? I have seen many links but none of them have an exact answer.
We have a property named textAlignment but it is for left, right or center not indention.
Can anyone suggest how to implement this?
You should consider using a UIWebView if your displayed text has formatting. Using textViews and labels quickly renders the code to complex.
Possible solution in this post - as the first answer suggested, use a UIWebView.
I have a login screen with a username and password textbox. However, I've come across a better way to present my username and password textboxes.
The textboxes seems to be merged. Just like the login screen on Windows Live Messenger iPhone app.
Does anyone know how to make this?
Thanks.
Better You can also use Grouped UITableview, add two UITextfields into the tableview cells as subview. This should be look as same as windows live messenger.
That is a UIView containing 2 text fields. You can have an UIView, give it background image and place 2 UITextFields on it.
You can take two text boxes with none border style and then you can place a back ground image as you need.. This may be the solution.
I am very new to iphone application development and am struggling to create a table view page where each row contains a left-aligned label with an editable text next to it - just like how it works in the email account details page in the settings application on my iphone.
I have been googling the subject for hours and it is now somehow clear to me that I need to add UITextFields to UITableViewCells, but it is still not at all clear to me how I make these text fields take up the right amount of space:
How do I make the text fields align above each other?
How do I make the text fields expand as far as possible to the right?
How do I prevent the text fields from hiding part of the left-aligned label?
Read the Apple Docs on Tableviews there are a number of predefined table cells. Also look at the Tableview programming Guide. Pick the one that has the font characteristics that you want and Apple will take care of it for you. Also, in the Settings app, the settings are a Grouped style.
For the look you are describing I think it is called UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle.
You need custom UITableViewCells and there are a number of ways of making them. For your purposes, any one of the techniques detailed in the Apple documentation will probably suffice.
An alternative to those approaches is in GSUtils (full disclosure: open-source library written by me), where you can use the same approach to designing your table view cells as you would design a UIView.
I am new to Iphone programming. I want to add a password module to my application with look and feel as iphone's "Enter Passcode". Is it possible. I earlier tried this by using four text boxes and allowing allowing to enter only one alphabet in each.
This had the problem of cursor in the text boxes. So i disabled all these, took an invisible text box. Allowed user to enter passcode in it. And copied the text in each of those disable text box on textediting event. This works as required. However the last text box of the four never displays text. Is this because i have chosen text editing event. Please help.
There's a Google Code project that has implemented this pretty nicely:

Hope this helps!
You mean the 4 number pin pad?
I implemented something similar
xib file with 12 UIButtons 4 UILabels and 4 UIImageViews.
In my app I need to show a large volume of data(news) to the user. I tried using UIWebView to show up the news data. It worked fine but the performance was low. UIWebView takes time to show up all the data.
So I started using UILabel to show up the data. This worked fine with no performance issue. But the problem is when ever a line ends the UIWebView automatically puts spaces in between to align the text properly. But UILabel is not doing the same. So the text is not aligned properly. how do we get the text aligned properly as it is done in UIWebView
Thanks In Advance!!!
I think the answer to this is to build your own text layout using UIKit's NSString's extentions: drawAtPoint:InFont as recommended in this SO question.
Try using a UITextView. This should wrap text a little nicer than the UILabel.
