Saving data entered in textfield of custom cells - objective-c

Question

I have a custom cell.In that custom cell,there is a textfield and a label.I actually have made a form using custom cell.The user will enter its name,city,state,country,dob detail in that textfield.Now ,on a click of a button I want to save all this data together in a dictionary.But I am not able to understand that how can I save data for different keys using the same textfield as it is being reused.Please help with some code in objective c.Thanks in advance!

I am giving you idea, so that you can implement it
Just take a Macro, like this #define textFieldTag 1000
You are re-using the textfField right. So, in cellForRowAtIndexPath (if u r using table view) set the tag of the textField like this: cell.textType.tag = indexPath.row + textFieldTag;
then
access the textField using delegate
- (void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
switch (textField.tag - textFieldTag) {
case 0:{
NSString *name = textField.text;
//Take a NSMutableDictionary and add the values over here
break;
}
case 1:
{
NSString *city = textField.text;
break;
}
case 2:
{
NSString *state = textField.text;
break;
}
case 3:
{
NSString *country = textField.text;
break;
}
case 4:
{
NSString *dob = textField.text;
break;
}
default:
break;
}
}
And one thing, when you click the save or what ever button u r using to submit the form remember to dismiss the keyboard [textField resignFirstResponder];, otherwise the last value can be nil.
Thank you
