I have a textview. When we are editing a textview, we can see suggestions as shown in the image. I want to customize the suggestions. ie, Instead of the default words in suggestion box, I want to show words from my array. How can i do this?
Thanks in advance...
To disable suggestion there are 2 methods:
First one is:
UITextField* f = [[UITextField alloc] init];
f.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;
Second one is:
The Interface Builder also has a dropdown field to disable this. As you're more likely to create textfields in the interface builder, look for it there. You can find it in the Attributes Inspector next to 'Correction'.
For your array in suggestions go through this link:https://www.cocoacontrols.com/controls/autocompletiontableview
Disable autocorrect for that text view, then have a custom view ready and place it above the other views matching wherever the cursor is. There's probably other SO posts to find out where that cursor is...
You'll probably use the delegate pattern 2-way. One way, the custom view is made aware of changes in the UITextView so it knows when to update itself's suggestions.
The other delegate is your view or the textView, notified when someone hits the button.
This should all be easy to make, the only hard part is figuring out how your custom view's logic will behave

i have a UITableView where i want one cell(database row) needs to be default,
So I am thinking of two options
in TableView upon clicking a cell, change accessoryType to mark just like ringtone selection in settings app
when user enters data, add an option (like radio button or segmented control) to make that cell (database row) as default one
I feel first option is good but we can implement code for that only in didSelectRowAtIndexPath but i need to jump to another view when user click on a cell.
So please give me an idea how to accomplish this
One idea iam thinking is adding an edit button but don't know whether its possible or not.
Thanks
Not sure if i understand your question correctly , but according to what i understand you want a table view in which many values will be there , and you want one value to be default which can be changed later.
According to me these ways would be pretty good,
Changing the accessorytype of the tableViewCell. (Most common way)
Changing the Highlighted property of the cell on loading the tableView.
Adding some image then setting the image as the background view of the selected cell.
Adding custom image view (such as tick or something and adding to the cell).
this code can be put in the viewDidload so your default selected value appears.
Hope this helps.
Don't know what you mean by default. I'm assuming you mean already selected. You might just want to set the accessoryType to the checkbox. That would be Apple's way of doing it.
How in the world does one get the iPhone view to zoom in on a focused UITextField? I need to tap on a text field that I want to edit, and my view should zoom in to the tapped text field and pull up the keyboard (which it already does), similar to how many Internet text fields gain focus on the iPhone. Is this some type of overlay?
I've been looking everywhere for this solution but maybe I've just got the wrong terminology. Thank you in advance.
Could be a duplicate of this StackOverflow question.
In essence, there are a number of ways, but you have to program this effect manually. A textfield is already an overlay. You can either move it, or scroll the containing view.
Please follow the following steps.
Implement the delegate method for all textfield.connect the outlet of textfield in interface builder basically it's setting the delegate property.then in delegate property you can defined the method whatever you want to implement or wanted to do functionality.
Thanks
I have a ViewController consisting of just a textView. In its viewDidLoad method, I simply initialize the textView and add it as a subview. In my main ViewController class, when the user presses a button, I switch views and display the view that has the textView. I am trying to change the textView's text however it is not working. Can I not change the text of a UITextView at runtime?
Thanks.
You should keep a reference to your text view.
If you do, then make sure that the reference is correct and valid before setting the new text.
In general, it always helps when you post a problematic code - this way it is much easier for us to help you...
I want to create custom GUI for keyboard layout instead of normal layout. How can I achieve this?
Can anyone help me ?
Is there any built-in style/layout available or do I need to create a view for same?
Thanks,
Jayesh
You use the inputView property of a UITextField or UITextView. Simply assign it a custom view of your own. Then, when the receiver becomes the first responder, the system will automatically show your custom view as the keyboard. It will also hide it, when resigning first responder.
As far as I know, there are no templates.
I collected a view links about this topic with screenshots of keyboard-layouts + links about the programming-background. The article is in german but the links are all english: http://uxzentrisch.de/custom-mobile-keyboard-design/
Thanks for your answer, Jorge!
I have a nice clean UI within a table view which has a few text fields for the user to fill out. One of the fields is for the user's birthday.
I'd like to have it so that when the user selects the birthday field, a view containing a UIDatePicker would come up as, just like the different keyboards do when selecting a text field.
Can this be done? I would have to prevent the text field from being the first responder (to avoid having the keyboard come up) and I would have to animate the view sliding up if no keyboard was showing before.
Would presenting the view modally be an option? If so how would I go about doing it? From the documentation it seems that modal views still take up the whole screen, I just want to use the lower 216 pixels (height of the keyboard and UIDatePicker).
Any one have any tips on how to go about doing this?
Old question but the correct way to do this these days would be to set the UITextField's inputView to a picker you created somewhere. Something like this:
UIPickerView *myPicker = [[UIPickerView alloc] init];
// set picker frame, options, etc...
// N.B. origin for the picker's frame should be 0,0
[myTextField setInputView:myPicker];
When you go to edit a UITextField, iOS really just displays whatever view is at textField.inputView which by default is the keyboard, you can make it anything you want as long as it's a subclass of UIView.
Regarding animation, take a look at DateCell sample application -
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#samplecode/DateCell/Introduction/Intro.html
And in any case, the proper way to do this is set UITextField's inputView to show the picker instead of the keyboard. That's what it's meant to do. More on that here:
How can I present a picker view just like the keyboard does?

Oded.
I would implement this by just animating a view containing the UIDatePicker, a Done, and Cancel button) up from the bottom of the screen. Using CoreAnimation, this should be pretty easy.
Why are you using a text field if you don't want to accept user input from a keyboard? Instead use a UILabel subclass (where you override the touchesBegan/Ended:withEvent: set of methods to show the UIDatePicker) or a UIButton (where your action is a method which slides up the UIDatePicker).
