iphone keyboard won't appear - iphone

Question

I can click on the field, and it momentarily turns blue, but those events plus makeFirstResponder together do not cause the keyboard to show on a UITextField.
Plain vanilla code follows; I include it so others can discern what is NOT there and therefore what, presumably, with solve the problem.
I put in leading spaces to format this question more like code, but the parser seems to have stripped them, thus leaving left-justified code. Sorry!
UITextFieldDelete, check:
#interface RevenueViewController : UIViewController <UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource, UITextFieldDelegate> {
UILabel *sgmntdControlLabel;
UISegmentedControl *sgmntdControl;
UITableView *theTableView;
}
#property(nonatomic,retain) UISegmentedControl *sgmntdControl;
#property(nonatomic,retain) UILabel *sgmntdControlLabel;
Delegate and source, check.
-(void)loadView;
// code
CGRect frameTable = CGRectMake(10,0,300,260);
theTableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:frameTable style:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
[theTableView setDelegate:self];
[theTableView setDataSource:self];
// code
[self.view addSubview:theTableView];
[super viewDidLoad];
}
Insert UITextField to cell, check.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
NSInteger sectionNmbr = [indexPath section];
NSInteger rowNmbr = [indexPath row];
NSLog(#"cellForRowAtIndexPath=%d, %d",sectionNmbr,rowNmbr);
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
}
// Configure the cell.
switch (sectionNmbr) {
case 0:
if (rowNmbr == 0) {
cell.tag = 1;
cell.textLabel.text = #"Label for sctn 0, row 0";
UITextField *tf = [[UITextField alloc] init];
tf.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad;
tf.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyDone;
tf.delegate = self;
[cell.contentView addSubview:tf];
}
if (rowNmbr == 1) {
cell.tag = 2;
cell.textLabel.text = #"Label for sctn 0, row 1";
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDetailDisclosureButton;
}
break;
}
}
Successfully end up where we want to be (?), no check, (and no keyboard!):
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
NSLog(#"didSelectRowAtIndexPath");
switch (indexPath.section) {
case 0:
NSLog(#" section=0, rowNmbr=%d",indexPath.row);
switch (indexPath.row) {
case 0:
UITableViewCell *cellSelected = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath: indexPath];
UITextField *textField = [[cellSelected.contentView subviews] objectAtIndex: 0];
[ textField setEnabled: YES ];
[textField becomeFirstResponder];
// here is where keyboard will appear?
[tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath: indexPath animated: NO];
break;
case 1:
// code
break;
default:
break;
}
break;
case 1:
// code
break;
default:
// handle otherwise un-handled exception
break;
}
}
Thank you for your insights!

are you sure that
[[cellSelected.contentView subviews] objectAtIndex: 0];
is returning what you expect it to? Try checking it with the debugger
