Disable autosuggest - objective-c

My textfield name is searchtextfeild.
When I type anything, it autosuggests as in the given picture.
Now, I simply do not want to show this autosuggest. I want to disable it.
I tried,
searchtextfeild.autoautocorrectionType = FALSE;
Strange thing is though searchtextfeild is textfield, it does not have property autoautocorrectionType.
Anyway, how can I disable this autosuggest?

autocorrectionType property has type UITextAutocorrectionType which is enum:
typedef NS_ENUM(NSInteger, UITextAutocorrectionType) {
UITextAutocorrectionTypeDefault,
UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo,
UITextAutocorrectionTypeYes,
};
So you just need to do
searchtextfeild.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;

Check this please:
searchtextfeild.autocorrectionType = TRUE;
For some strange reason it works for me.

Disable the back button in navigation bar

I need to get rid of only the arrow in the navigation bar in Xamarin forms. I tried in but I didn't get a proper solution. please help me overcome this issue. Thanks in advance.
!! I NEED TO REMOVE PERMANENTLY
solutions that I'm tried up to now :
Shell.SetBackButtonBehavior(this, new BackButtonBehavior
{
IsEnabled=false
});
but still, this didn't help me
There is a easy workaround to solve this.
You could override a Icon with a transparent png file(Follow is a transparent png):
and set enabled be false as follows:
Shell.SetBackButtonBehavior(this, new BackButtonBehavior
{
IconOverride = "transparent.png",
IsEnabled = false
}) ;
Then the effect as follows:
Note: You will see that we also can tap that area, therefore we need to set enabled be false.
Based on this official sample to test that.
You can set this using the Xamarin.Forms.NavigationPage class, from within a view's code behind file. E.g. within a ContentPage's constructor.
NavigationPage.SetHasBackButton(this, false);

Hide a view in Titanium so that it does not take physical space

In titanium it is possible to hide a view like so:
$.foo.hide()
or
$.foo.visible = false
However, in both cases the object still seems to take physical space. It is just invisible. In other words it is similar to the CSS property visibility: hidden.
I want it so that it disappears and take no physical space in terms of width or height, so it's similar to the CSS property display: none
How can I do this?
The best hacky solution I have is the following:
$.foo.width = 0;
$.foo.height = 0;
$.foo.left = 0;
$.foo.right = 0;
But that means when I want to make it visible again, I have to set all those properties back to their original values which is a pain and hard to maintain.
First of all, don't afraid of doing some hard coding ;)
Coming to your query, yes, this is true that hiding a view just hide it from UI, but physical-space is still there.
To do what you want, you will need to either remove view on hide & create it on show, or you can use absolute layout in some tricky way.
Other way could be to animate this view using transform property like this:
// on hide
$.foo.animate({
duration : 100,
transform : Ti.UI.create2DMatrix({scale:0})
}, function () {
$.foo.visible = false;
});
// on show
$.foo.visible = true; // we need to make it visible again before resetting its UI state since we hid it after completion of animation in above code
$.foo.animate({
duration : 100,
transform : Ti.UI.create2DMatrix() // passing empty matrix will reset the initial state of this view
});
OR
this could also work but never tried this:
// on hide
$.foo.transform = Ti.UI.create2DMatrix({scale:0});
$.foo.visible = false;
// on show
$.foo.visible = true;
$.foo.transform = Ti.UI.create2DMatrix();

How can I make an SLTextField tappable?

I have been writing a test with "Subliminal's" "SLTextField" and have run into some really annoying issues lately.
I have written a test which should update a text field, clear it, and update it again.
For some reason when I use "SLTextField" to change the element text I consistently receive errors stating that "SLTextFields" aren't tappable elements. Is this true? If so, what is the point of having an "SLTextField" class at all?
I can rewrite the same test code to find the element as an "SLElement", at which point I can tap the element, open up a keyboard object and type the necessary text, but it seems like I'm circumventing the entire functionality of Subliminal in doing this.
What's wrong w/"SLTextField"?
Code:
SLTextField *textField = [SLTextField elementWithAccessibilityLabel:fieldName];
SLWaitUntilTrue([textField isTappable], DEFAULT_TIMEOUT);
textField.text = newValue;
The above code throws an error, stating that "textField" never becomes tappable. Alternatively, the code below works perfectly, though it's unnecessarily verbose and seems to make "SLTextField" superfluous.
Code:
SLElement *field = [SLElement elementWithAccessibilityLabel:fieldName];
[field tapAtActivationPoint];
//fill with text
SLKeyboard *kb = [SLKeyboard keyboard];
SLKeyboardKey *deleteKey = [SLKeyboardKey elementWithAccessibilityLabel:#"Delete"];
while(![field.value isEqualToString:#""]){
[deleteKey touchAndHoldWithDuration:1.2];
}
[kb typeString:newValue];
SLKeyboardKey *doneKey = [SLKeyboardKey elementWithAccessibilityLabel:#"Next"];
if(![doneKey isValid]){
doneKey = [SLKeyboardKey elementWithAccessibilityLabel:#"Done"];
}
[doneKey tap];
[kb hide];
Is your TextField within a TableViewCell? And are you seeing this on iOS 7?
If so, it might have been fixed by https://github.com/inkling/Subliminal/pull/202 (merged 6/6/2014).

Dynamically setting passwordMask in Titanium

Since Titanium doesn't allow you to manually change the hintText colour of a textfield, I have to set hintText manually. Because of this, I have to dynamically change the passwordMask setting on one of fields I'm using.
However, I'm getting weird behaviour and I can't tell if I'm doing something wrong, or if it's a bug in Titanium.
So, here's my markup:
<TextField id="password" onFocus="passwordFocusEvent" onReturn="passwordReturnEvent" onBlur="passwordBlurEvent" value="password"></TextField>
And some of my controller code:
function passwordFocusEvent(e) {
slideViewUp();
if (e.value === 'password') {
e.source.setPasswordMask(true);
e.source.value = '';
}
}
function passwordBlurEvent(e) {
if (!e.value) {
e.source.setPasswordMask(false);
e.source.value = 'password';
}
}
function passwordReturnEvent(e) {
slideViewDown();
passwordBlurEvent(e);
}
What happens is bizarre. When I focus on the password field, it remains plain text. I enter some text, then click off to another field, stays as plain text.
I click back to the password field, it's STILL plain text.
Now here's the weirdness. Up to this point, I would just assume it's not working. However, when I click off this second time, the passwordMask is set.
Major WTF.
I even tried targeting the field directly using $.password.passwordMask = true; but same thing.
Unfortunately, you cant do this. According to the docs on Ti.UI.TextField in the fine print;
Note: on iOS, passwordMask must be specified when this text field is created.
Its not all bad news though, there are a couple ways you can approach this, one option is to make the password mask yourself, by listening to the change event:
var theStoredPassword = '';
$.password.addEventListener('change', function(e) {
var newpass = e.source.value;
if(newpass.length < theStoredPassword.length) {
// Character deleted from end
theStoredPassword = theStoredPassword.substring(0, theStoredPassword.length-1);
} else {
// Character added to end
theStoredPassword += newpass.substring(newpass.length-1);
}
// Mask the text with unicode ● BLACK CIRCLE, 25CF
$.password.value = new Array(newpass.length + 1).join('●');
});
Another option, would be to have two text fields and swap them out whenever the user focuses the password field, the top one would have the custom hinttext, the bottom one would be passwordMasked. In fact thats probably way easier than what I just coded up. :-)

NSPredicateEditor is clearing the value of its NSTextField

I'm using NSPredicateEditor in my project. One of my rows has 2 popup buttons and a text field on the right. If I have something typed in the text field, when I select a different menu item from either of the popup buttons then the text in the text field is deleted. That seems to be the default behavior and I don't want that text deleted. I've tried everything I can think of and can't seem to handle this. Any ideas how to change this behavior?
You could save the data by using NSUserDefault it will save and load the data (It won't delete your data unless the user does).
Access the text fields via the row template's templateViews property.
This allows you to get the custom values that have been entered into the textfield. Save the value when it changes.
class YourCustomRowTemplate : NSPredicateEditorRowTemplate {
func printTextFieldValues() {
let templateViews = super.templateViews
for view in templateViews {
if let textField = view as? NSTextField {
let text = textField.stringValue
print("Text in the texfield is: \(text)")
}
}
}
}
You can set the values the same way, by subclassing NSPredicateEditorRowTemplate and overriding the templateViews method.
