UITextField inside of UITableViewCell will not activate on iPad but works on iPhone
- by cfihelp
I have a UITextField inside a UITableViewCell. It will not activate on the iPad (but it works fine on the iPhone) no matter what I try. Tapping on it and telling it to become the firstResponder both fail. The odd thing is that if I take the exact same code and move it to another view controller in my app it executes just fine. This makes it seem as if there is likely a problem in the parent UITableViewController but I can't find anything obvious. I'm hoping that someone out there has experienced a similar problem and can point me in the right direction.
Below is the sample code that works fine when I move it to a new project or put it in a new view controller launched immediately by my app delegate:
// Customize the appearance of table view cells.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
}
if (indexPath.row == 0) {
UITextField *nameText = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(5, 5, cell.contentView.frame.size.width, cell.contentView.frame.size.height)];
nameText.delegate = self;
nameText.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
[cell.contentView addSubview:nameText];
[nameText becomeFirstResponder];
[nameText release];
}
// Configure the cell...
return cell;
}
Help!
