If I have a UIPickerView with three components (dials). How does the picker handle two dials spinning simultaneously? For example, the user might flick the first dial, which spins freely and immediately slowly click to a selection on the second dial.
I'm doing the following in the picker. If one dial is spinning, I don't capture its value. I only capture values when the dials spin one at a time.
- (void)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)thePickerView didSelectRow:(NSInteger)row inComponent:(NSInteger)component{
if(component == 0){
dateEndCenturyText = (NSString *)[dateCentury objectAtIndex:row];
}
else if(component == 1){
dateEndDecadeText = (NSString *)[dateYear objectAtIndex:row];
}
else if(component == 2){
dateEndYearText = (NSString *)[dateYear objectAtIndex:row];
}
Is there a better way to ensure capture of values even if two dials are spinning?
The most robust solution to this may be to update all three values each time your event fires. You can retrieve the selected row for any component in the UIPickerView using the following method:
UIPickerView selectedRowInComponent:
Returns the index of the selected row in a given component
- (NSInteger)selectedRowInComponent:(NSInteger)component
Hope this helps!

I have a UIPickerView in my viewController. I can get the value of the row number of the selected value in the picker from the delegate method
- (void)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView didSelectRow:(NSInteger)row inComponent:(NSInteger)component
But in my case, I need to get the row number of the selected component as soon as the view appears. Is there a way to get the row number/trigger the delegate method as soon as the view appears.
You just have to use selectedRowInComponent
selectedRowInComponent:
Returns the index of the selected row in a given component.
- (NSInteger)selectedRowInComponent:(NSInteger)component Parameters
component
A zero-indexed number identifying a component of the picker view.
Return Value
A zero-indexed number identifying the selected row, or -1 if no row is
selected. Availability
Available in iOS 2.0 and later.

Declared In UIPickerView.h
you use this for select in pickerview
- (void)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView didSelectRow:(NSInteger)row inComponent:(NSInteger)component
{
NSString *str= [yardsArray objectAtIndex:row];
}
use this code when view will load
-(void)ViewDidLoad
{
NSString *str= [yardsArray count];
}
in viewDidLoad
travers the array of your objects and match object of which you want to find out the row
and tell me if this is the solution
I have two pickers - country and region. I need to populate the region picker based on the row selected in the country picker. I have arrays to populate both the pickers. I need some help to change the rows of region picker based on the country picker's selection. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.
Ok You have two pickers lets say countryPicker and regionPicker.
in the delegate method for UIPickerView add one condition
- (NSString *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView titleForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component
{
NSString *pickerTitle = #"";
if (pickerView == countryPicker)
{
pickerTitle = [countryFeeds objectAtindex:row];
//assigns the country title if pickerView is countryPicker
}
else if (pickerView == regionPicker)
{
pickerTitle = [regionFeeds objectAtindex:row];
//assigns the region title if pickerView is regionPicker
}
return pickerTitle;
}
- (void)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView didSelectRow:(NSInteger)row inComponent:(NSInteger)component
{
if (pickerView == countryPicker)
{
//selects the region corresponding to the selected country.
//totalRegions is a NSDictionary having country names as keys and array of their regions as values
regionFeeds = [totalRegions objectForKey:[countryFeeds objectAtindex:row]];
//Now reloading the regionPicker with new values.
[regionPicker reloadAllComponents];
}
else if (pickerView == regionPicker)
{
// your code to select a region
}
}
I hope this solves your problem :)
BR, Hari
Are they separate picker views, or one picker view with two columns?
Either way, when you change the value in one picker, just call reloadAllComponents on the other picker (or reloadComponent: if you are using a split picker) and then when it reloads the data from it's data source you can use the value from the first picker to supply the correct region list.
My suggestion is please maintain the country and region in one picker with two components(country,region).If u do like this then we can change the one component values based on another component value.
NSUInteger selectedRow= [CountryPicker selectedRowInComponent:0];
NSString *userchoice =[self pickerView:CountryPicker titleForRow:selectedRow forComponent:0];
This will give you the title for the selected row by the user in country picker
then using the arrays you have to populate names of regions
You can use
- (void)selectRow:(NSInteger)row inComponent:(NSInteger)component animated:(BOOL)animated
on the RegionPicker
As soon as I scroll the PickerView (or) UIDatePicker, I need the value to get displayed on a TextField :
While Scrolling. Even when the picker is moving the text field should update itself. Is it possible ?
On the event that the Picker stops moving and comes to rest. Is there an event for the PickerView to come to rest so that I could update the textField (as soon as the pickerView comes to rest).
// I do not wish to use the TextFieldDidEndEditing
// I want the textField to update itself when the picker view comes to rest.
It would be helpful if anyone could solve 1) and 2)
(1) might not be possible. For (2), you can use the delegate method pickerView:didSelectRow:inComponent. Let me know if you need any help with this.
For UIPickerView
(1) Implement pickerView:titleForRow:forComponent,
- (NSString *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView titleForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component {
// Every time the picker view is rotated, this method will be called to fetch the title.
NSInteger selectedRow = [pickerView selectedRowInComponent:0];
// Get selected row like above and process data and update text field.
[..] // Process the title
return the title.
}
(2) This is more obvious.
- (void)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView didSelectRow:(NSInteger)row inComponent:(NSInteger)component {
// You have the selected row, update the text field.
}
For the first question, this isn't possible with the default control however there is nothing to stop you writing your own and simulate the effect using touchesMoved etc...
In my project i am filling the picker view array with the value which i am getting from the service.And in the same view i have another label on click of button in the label i want to get the same uipickerview with different value is that possible.....so with one picker view my work will be done no need to call to different picker views...anyone has solution for this isssue
i dont think so .. it will only be possible if you load the data again which means the uipicker(all same instance) with loaded with same data
of course this is possible. Just switch to another model that holds the data that is used in the picker.
- (NSString *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView titleForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component
if (myCurrentEditingValue == MyCountryValue) {
return ...
}
else if (myCurrentEditingValue == MyCityValue) {
return ...
}
return nil;
}
- (IBAction)startEditingCountryField {
myCurrentEditingValue = MyCountryValue;
[picker reloadAllComponents];
}
You should get the idea.
I have a very simple application that use a 2 component UIPickerView that causes me a crash every time I click over it. I dragged it into my view by IB, then hooked up dataSource and delegate to File's Owner. In the .h file:
#interface SettingsViewController : UIViewController <UIPickerViewDataSource, UIPickerViewDelegate> {
While in .m
- (NSInteger)numberOfComponentsInPickerView:(UIPickerView *)thePickerView {
return 2;
}
- (NSInteger)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)thePickerView numberOfRowsInComponent:(NSInteger)component {
NSInteger value;
if (component == 0) {
value = [tipiDado count];
} else {
value = [numeroDadi count];
}
return value;
}
- (NSString *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)thePickerView titleForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component {
if (component == 0) {
return [tipiDado objectAtIndex:row];
} else {
return [numeroDadi objectAtIndex:row];
}
}
- (void)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)thePickerView didSelectRow:(NSInteger)row inComponent:(NSInteger)component {
NSLog(#"Selected Dice: %#. Number of Dice: %#", [tipiDado objectAtIndex:row], [numeroDadi objectAtIndex:row]);
}
I dunno why it continues to give me SIGBART or EXC_BAD_ACCESS... I don't know where I'm doing wrong.
Suggestions?
Thanks folks.
It's difficult to answer properly without seeing some more code. When it crashes, you should be able to see exactly what line is causing the crash (look at the call stack on the left). My guess is that either one of your arrays (tipiDado or numeroDadi) are not retained properly or else that the objects stored in them are not of type NSString.
If you update the question with the code you use to initialize them, it will be easier to point out the exact problem.
It's probably because your arrays (tipiDado and numeroDadi) are no longer valid. Maybe they are set up as autoreleased objects?
What you can do, is start in debug mode (debug configuration and with debugger attached) and it should stop right at the line where it crashes.
Try using Allocations with zombo detections / reference counter to see which object is the problem.
In didSelectRow, you are using the same row value to access both arrays. If the arrays are not the same size, you could be accessing an out-of-range item.
You should either check one array only based on the component parameter or to show both selections you can do this instead:
NSInteger tipiDadoRow = [thePickerView selectedRowInComponent:0];
NSInteger numeroDadiRow = [thePickerView selectedRowInComponent:1];
NSLog(#"Selected Dice: %#. Number of Dice: %#",
[tipiDado objectAtIndex:tipiDadoRow], [numeroDadi objectAtIndex:numeroDadiRow]);
I used property/synthesize to initialize them, so when I filled them up with [NSArray arrayWithObjects:...] I haven't added retain but I forget to use self. notation!!
Writing down:
self.tipiDado = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"D4",...];
fixed up he problem.
