I'm using storyboard to create a grouped UITableView. Within the table I have several different cells setup with the 'right detail' style. I have also added IBOutlets to the UILabels on the right of these cells, however when someone presses the cell there's no way of editing them.
Here is what the cells look like:
I need a way of allowing the user to edit the value on the right when they press the row in the table (similar to that of the 'Contacts' application on iPhone when you edit phone numbers etc.).
Please can someone help me?
A UILabel object does not support user editing. If you need a text field that the user can edit using the keyboard, you need to use a UITextField or a UITextView.

I am new to iPhone development and I am looking at exactly what is shown in the picture to allow users to write input.
But I cannot find what exactly is it! Are those some special kind of UITextFields? Are they a special kind of UITableView? What is it?
This is a UITableView with custom UITableViewCell's that contain UITextFields. You can easily do this by loading your UITableViewCell from custom XIB files, in which you've dropped UITextFields. As far as the "hints" you see in each field, that's the "Placeholder" property of UITextField.
Those are grouped tableviews with custom table cells that contain textfields and single line etched separators. Make sure to set the style to "grouped"
The above basically consist of UItableviewCell with a Uitextfield within it.
If you are on ios5 (which i assume you will be), you can add UItableviewcontroller from you Interface Builder and from there, taking the advice to set the style of the table to "grouped".
you should have the similar outlook of the above for the background.
In here, if you select a cell you should have the option to set a few different style to your uitableview cell.
If none of the default styles works for you, just select custom and add your own uitextfield or uibutton.
Note: There's a bit of difference between prototype cell.
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.
I want to make a grouped TableView similar to the Apple iPhone contacts application.
I need a lot of standard fields which can be edited, but I would only like them editable once the edit button in the navbar is clicked.
This has been bothering me forever that I could not find a good tutorial.
Thanks in advance.
This is not easy. I just built the same thing because there is nothing available from Apple. I ended up creating a single table cell with a UILabel and a UIView on it. The UILabel is for when the cell is in read mode, and the UIView is for editing. The UIView contains a number of UITextFields. These are the individual fields. I also had to implement drawing code to draw the lines between the fields. Then I had to come up with the code to pass in an address object, load it into the fields, format the text for the label, switch in and out of editing mode (with animation), and finally handling saving of changes and canceling. As yet it doesn't handle tapping the address type to select that from a popup list, but I have most of the code in place for the rest.
This could have been done using individual table view cells for each field. But then you can't select the whole thing the way it does in contacts and adding and deleting addresses becomes trickier.
In my app I have a set number of cells in a UITableView, 10, no more, no less, and the user can't change that.
However what I would like to have is so that if the user was to naturally in an iOS fashion, swipe a cell, or press an edit button, the cell text becomes editable with a simple tap on the cell bringing up a keyboard.
I was just wondering if there is a fairly simple method to do this, or take quite of custom building? What are you thoughts on how this could go together?
Thanks.
This should work if you just add a UITextField into the table cell's contentView I believe.
I try to create an UITableView similar to the Standard Contact App, when selecting a contact (i.e. grouped style). But how do I get some controls at the top or at the bottom of the cells, which scroll with the rest? In the Contact App you have at the top the picture together with the name and at the bottom three buttons. Are these just special customized Cells? Or can you have controls directly there?
Thanks for your help!

I played with table header/footer views. You can create them in IB and assign them to
self.table.tableHeaderView = yourHeaderView;
self.table.tableFooterView = yourFooterView;
Needless to say, that you customize them as your wish.
Another option is to customize a table cell view for the section 0 if you have a grouped style table. You can add there a picture and a button, whatever you want.
In both cases all your elements will scroll with the table view.
Is that what you asked for?
When I did this functionality, I used a combination of UIViews and UITableViewCell.
As a header I inserted UIView, and it placed the UIButton (with picture) and UITableViewCell. After laying a transparent UIView and subscribe to UIControlEventTouchUpInside, which highlight the cell ([self.tableHeaderCell setHighlighted:YES];)
