Add texfield in runtime in IOS - ios7

Question

I want to make an "add" button to add as many textfields as i want in my scroll view.
I did this already
UITextField *text=[[UITextField alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(50,50,200,200)];
[self.scrollView addSubview:text];
But is not working.
Thanks!

Answer 1

If this is your complete button code:
UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
[button setTitle:#"Show View" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
button.frame = CGRectMake(80.0, 210.0, 160.0, 40.0);
// add this
[button addTarget:self action:#selector(buttonPressed:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
// continue
[self.mainScroll addSubview:button];
Then add this somewhere:
- (void) buttonPressed:(UIButton *)button {
UITextField *text=[[UITextField alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(50,50,200,200)];
text.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor]; // just to make sure it's showing up.
[self.scrollView addSubview:text];
}

First create common function like this,
-(void)setTextfieldStyle:(UITextField *)pTmpTextField
{
pTmpTextField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;
pTmpTextField.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:15];
pTmpTextField.placeholder = #"First Name";
pTmpTextField.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;
pTmpTextField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeDefault;
pTmpTextField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyDone;
pTmpTextField.clearButtonMode = UITextFieldViewModeWhileEditing;
pTmpTextField.contentVerticalAlignment = UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentCenter;
pTmpTextField.delegate = self;
}
and use this for creating UITextFiled,
int y = 0;
for(int i=0;i < 5;i++)
{
UITextField *txtTemp=[[UITextField alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, y, 300, 31)];
txtTemp.tag = i;
[self setTextfieldStyle:txtTemp];
[self.view addSubview:txtTemp];
[txtTemp release];
y+=36;
}
This is UITextField's delegate method,
- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
NSLog(#"%#",textField.text);
}
Hope this works for you as this works for me. only keep this in mind that add the text fields to your scroll view.
In the example am adding them to my view!
