set postion of no of the UITextviews in iphone - iphone

Question

I have a UITextView added on my UIView programmatically. The textview added is not editable, it is just to display some data. The data displayed in the textview is getting from array.The no of the textviews are same as texts which I Stored in Array.Textview is displaying from start to end one by one.I need to set the postion of textview one by one means first textview come and set at some postion,second will be set as just before first textview,third will be just before on second and so on.. Note: Something like using Animation. suppose one textview come from top and it stops at Y postion at 250 then next textview will set at just before that..it cant come upto 250 of Y postion. and so on. I have no clue how to do this. Please give me some ideas.

Answer 1

Don't Consider the array and the UITextView data.... its fot temporary..
NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithObjects:#"One",#"Two",#"three",#"Four",#"Five",#"Six",#"Seven",#"Eight",#"Nine",#"Ten", nil];
for(int i=0;i<[array count];i++) {
UITextView *textView = [[UITextView alloc]init];
[textView setFrame:CGRectMake(20, 20*i+height, 200, height)];
[textView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
[textView setText:[array objectAtIndex:i]];
[self.view addSubview:textView];
}

Answer 2

you want to add textviews programmatically in your view based on the array,if you are adding textviews to your view then there is a problem(if u are having more number of textviews then you must take scroll view ) that's why better to take scroll view and add scroll view to your view after that you will add textviews to your scroll view ,
now take constant x-coordinate value ,width and height only change y-coordinate value and you must give the content size to scrollview .
for(int i=1;i<[array length];i++){
text_desc = [[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(63,64*i,370,60)];
text_desc.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica" size:13.0];
text_desc.editable=NO;
text_desc.tag=1;
}
and then set srollview content size,
scroll.contentSize = CGSizeMake(0,total*87);

//loop over the substrings of type Array to add textfields at run time
for (int i = 0; i < [substrings count]; i++)
{
CGRect frame = CGrectMake(0, i * 40, 100, 30);
UITextField * txtDynamic = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame: frame];
txtDynamic.text = [substrings objectAtIndex:i];
//add as subview
[view addSubview:txtDynamic];
//if you are not using ARC release the txtDynamic
}
Note
If number of UITextField more i.e it goes out of screen, then Add UITextField to UIScrollView and you can make its Size and content size dynamic.
Hope this will give you some clue.

hey mate then take one scrollview and in it just set all textview with its ContentSize like bellow
here i give an example ,
Note: this is just example here take one UIScrollView and give name scrview and after add your all this UITextField in it.
you add this code after you add data in textfield
txt1.frame = CGRectMake(txt1.frame.origin.x, txt1.frame.origin.y, txt1.frame.size.width, txt1.contentSize.height);
float txtscreen1 = txt1.frame.origin.y + txt1.contentSize.height + 10;
txt2.frame = CGRectMake(txt2.frame.origin.x, txtscreen1, txt2.frame.size.width, txt2.contentSize.height);
float txtscreen2 = txt2.frame.origin.y + txt2.contentSize.height + 10;
txt3.frame = CGRectMake(txt3.frame.origin.x, txtscreen2, txt3.frame.size.width, txt3.contentSize.height);
//.....and so on to 10
float txtscreen10 = txt3.frame.origin.y + txt3.contentSize.height + 10;
txt10.frame = CGRectMake(txt10.frame.origin.x, txtscreen10, txt10.frame.size.width, txt10.contentSize.height);
float scrollviewscreen = txtscreen10.frame.origin.y + txtscreen10.frame.size.height + 20;
scrview.contentSize=CGSizeMake(320, scrollviewscreen);//take scrollview
i hope this help you....
