Question

Thanks in advance..

Answer 1

Setting the Frames an Adding subview (text fields and picker views) on the button click , you can appear those subviews to the main view.
Or else you can initially put them all in the main view and initially hide them. And on the button click set them Hidden : NO.

Answer 2

Here is the approach:
On your View controller : Add a button and a UIScrollView.
Create an independent view say MyView containing all your TextFields and pickers. (you can create this via xib or via code)
In ViewDidLoad method of your controller add this MyView on UIScrollView.
On onButtonPressed similarly add MyView on UIScrollView.

If I got your problem then this code might help you. I am adding only text field on button click event. So I think it might give you idea for another views and you can do the same with another views. I am giving you .m file, hope you can write .h file. Here is my .m file looks like -
#import "ViewController.h"
#interface ViewController ()
#end
#implementation ViewController
#synthesize btn = _btn; // IBOutlet of UIButton
#synthesize txtFieldOne = _txtFieldOne; // IBOutlet of UITextField
#synthesize txtFieldTwo = _txtFieldTwo; // IBOutlet of UITextField
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
newYCoordinateForNewTxtFld = 40.0; // newYCoordinateForNewTxtFld is of type CGFloat
frame = self.txtFieldTwo.frame; // frame is of type CGRect
[super viewDidLoad];
}
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return true;
}
// TextField Delegate Method you might required in your project
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField
{
[textField resignFirstResponder];
return YES;
}
- (IBAction)btnClicked:(id)sender
{
// I am giving u a simple idea, so written simple code. You can make code more usable with ur view by adding various functions, loops, etc ,etc.
int tagValue = 0;
UITextField *newTextField = [[UITextField alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(frame.origin.x, frame.origin.y+newYCoordinateForNewTxtFld, frame.size.width, frame.size.height)];
newTextField.delegate = self;
newTextField.tag = tagValue++;
frame = newTextField.frame;
newTextField.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[newTextField setBorderStyle:UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect];
[self.view addSubview:newTextField];
newTextField = nil;
newTextField = [[UITextField alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(frame.origin.x, frame.origin.y+newYCoordinateForNewTxtFld, frame.size.width, frame.size.height)];
newTextField.tag = tagValue++;
newTextField.delegate = self;
frame = newTextField.frame;
newTextField.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[newTextField setBorderStyle:UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect];
[self.view addSubview:newTextField];
}
#end
