TOPIC: Previous TextField & Next TextField

Previous TextField & Next TextField 1 year, 7 months ago #1

Hi,

I have a table view set up by SCTableViewModel. This table view has SCTextField's, SCTextView's and some other type of cells. What I need to do is, when the user taps a button at the top of the keyboard I want the user to be able to go to the next TextField or TextView to edit them, if possible without ever closing the keyboard. I have tried anything I can think of to do this but I'm not able to. I don't know if there is method for this in the Sensible Coca. I hope there is. Thanks in advance.

These are the methods I'm trying to fill:

 
- (IBAction) previousAction:(id) sender {
 
}
 
- (IBAction) nextAction:(id) sender {
 
}

Best Regards,

Oguz

Sensible TableView will automatically move you to the next editable field when you tap the Return/Next button on the keyboard. Are you having any problems with that? As for creating a "Prev" button, it's currently on our requested features list.	tarekskr OFFLINE Administrator Posts: 2404 Karma: 72

No, the return key works fine. My company wanted me to create a bar like in the safari application, 3 buttons in it. Prev, next and done. I created the bar, everything is fine, but my textfields are in the tableview, so I need to go to the prev and next textfields in the tableview =S	leweo OFFLINE Junior Boarder Posts: 24 Karma: 0

When your custom button is tapped, you can advance using pretty much the same code SCTextFieldCell uses (please check out the "textFieldShouldReturn" method in SCTextFieldCell).	tarekskr OFFLINE Administrator Posts: 2404 Karma: 72

Thanks for your help. I managed to solve the problem. Here is how:

 
- (IBAction) previousAction:(id) sender {
	NSIndexPath *indexPath = [tableViewModel indexPathForCell:tableViewModel.activeCell];
	if(indexPath.row == 0) {
		return;
	}
	else {
		int temp = indexPath.row - 1;
 
		NSIndexPath *newPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:temp inSection:0];
		if(temp != 8) {
		[tableView scrollToRowAtIndexPath:[tableViewModel indexPathForCell:[tableViewModel cellAfterCell:[tableViewModel cellAtIndexPath:newPath] rewindIfLastCell:YES]]
						 atScrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionBottom
								 animated:YES];
		}
		[tableViewModel.activeCell resignFirstResponder];
		[[tableViewModel cellAtIndexPath:newPath] becomeFirstResponder];
	}
}
 
- (IBAction) nextAction:(id) sender {
	SCTableViewCell *currentCell = tableViewModel.activeCell;
	SCTableViewCell *nextCell;
	while( (nextCell = [tableViewModel cellAfterCell:currentCell rewindIfLastCell:NO]) ) 
	{
		if([nextCell isKindOfClass:[SCTextFieldCell class]] || [nextCell isKindOfClass:[SCTextViewCell class]]) {
			break;
		}
		else
		{
			nextCell = nil;
			break;
		}
	}
 
	if(nextCell)
	{
		[currentCell resignFirstResponder];
		[nextCell becomeFirstResponder];
	}
	else {
		[currentCell resignFirstResponder];
	}
}
