Using UITextField that is in the bottom of screen, when the keyboard is opened, user cant see what is he writes because the keyboard covers the textfield.
Is there any way to see what you write or push up the text field page ?
userName = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(133, 280, 200, 30)];
[userName setDelegate:self];
[userName setText:#"NickName"];
[userName setBorderStyle:UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect];
[userName setTextColor: [UIColor colorWithRed:0 green:0 blue:0 alpha:1.0]];
[[[[CCDirector sharedDirector] view] window] addSubview:userName];
I think ..YOu have to use that textfield with Scrollview. This way the user can scroll up and so can see what he is typing.
Update: I found THIS link, which satisfy your need.

I have two UITextViews, self.instructions and self.textView, that are supposed to alternate depending on what the user selects.
I create a self.textView like so:
-(void)createSpaceToWrite
{
[self.instructions removeFromSuperview];
[self.bar removeFromSuperview];
[self createNavigationBar:#"Compose" selector:#"displayScreen" withDone:NO]; //This adds a UINavigationBar to the view.
if (!self.textView)
{
self.textView = [[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 60, 280, 150)];
}
self.textView.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
self.textView.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica Neue" size:14];
self.textView.text = #"";
[self.view addSubview:self.textView];
self.textView.delegate = self;
}
Then I create self.instructions like so:
-(void)haikuInstructions
{
[self.textView removeFromSuperview];
[self.bar removeFromSuperview];
[self createNavigationBar:#"Compose" selector:#"displayScreen" withDone:NO];
if (!self.instructions)
{
self.instructions = [[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 125, [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.width - 10, [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height)];
}
self.instructions.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
self.instructions.text = #"Text of instructions";
self.instructions.editable=NO;
[self.view addSubview:self.instructions];
[self resignFirstResponder];
}
The user starts with self.instructions displayed against the background image. Fine.
The user switches. The instruction text disappears, to be replaced by the editable self.textView, a white box. Fine.
The user switches back. The instruction text appears--but the white box is still there, even thought I've removed it from the superview. And not only that, it's still editable and still brings up the keyboard when the user goes to edit it!
What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: Well, I basically scrapped all the code and started the class over from scratch, trying to be cleaner about everything, and I'm no longer having this problem, so it must have been something in some other method that was affecting it. Lesson: haphazard coding is bad!
Why do you need to remove your text views interchangeably? Wouldn't it be better to just "hide" them interchangeably by setting the setHidden property like for example:
[self.textView setHidden: YES];
and additionally try the following also:
[self.textView resignFirstResponder];
[self.textView setEditable: NO];
[self.textView setBackgroundColor: [UIColor clearColor]];
[self.textView setAlpha: 0.0];
Hey, I want to display an activity indicator on the right corner of my navbar when my user changes selection in picker wheel. I have no idea how to add activity indicator there I am only able to add normal navbar buttons there. Any help? Thanks in advance!
UIActivityIndicatorView *activityIndicator =
[[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 20, 20)];
UIBarButtonItem *barButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithCustomView:activityIndicator];
[[self navigationItem] setRightBarButtonItem:barButton];
[barButton release];
[activityIndicator startAnimating];
This should work.

I am dynamically adding a NSTextField to a window and I am having issues with rendering. I am setting the background color to be black and the text color to be white. These both work but their is what appears to be a rectangle that is part of the text that is always white. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? How can I get rid of the white background that is just around the text? Code is as follows:
//Create rectangle to size text field
NSRect textFieldRect = NSMakeRect(300, 300, 300, 54);
//Instantiate text field and set defaults
NSTextField* textField = [[NSTextField alloc] initWithFrame:textFieldRect];
[textField setFont:[NSFont fontWithName:#"Arial" size:48]];
[textField setTextColor:[NSColor whiteColor]];
[textField setStringValue:#"Some Text"];
[textField setBackgroundColor:[NSColor blackColor]];
[textField setDrawsBackground:YES];
[textField setBordered:NO];
[[window contentView] addSubview:textField];
I tried your code on Mac OS X 10.6.4.
Inside the application delegate:
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification {
NSRect textFieldRect = NSMakeRect(300, 300, 300, 54);
NSTextField* textField = [[NSTextField alloc] initWithFrame:textFieldRect];
[textField setFont:[NSFont fontWithName:#"Arial" size:48]];
[textField setTextColor:[NSColor whiteColor]];
[textField setStringValue:#"Some Text"];
[textField setBackgroundColor:[NSColor blackColor]];
[textField setDrawsBackground:YES];
[textField setBordered:NO];
[[window contentView] addSubview:textField];
}
And this is the result

I can't see any white box.
Maybe you are using a different OS.
Or maybe you have some other views on top of each other that are causing the weird effect you are talking about.
Try setting refusesFirstResponder = TRUE property of your NSTextField object. I have come across behavior you described in 10.7, in 10.6 everything works as expected.
Ok,
The mystery is partially solved. In conjunction with my NSTextField, I am also setting some NSApplicationPresentationOptions to put the application into Kiosk mode. It appears that something with that is causing the problem I am seeing. If I do not set the PresentationOptions the NSTextField displays exactly the way I want it to. I will track down what specific PresentationOption is to blame and post here.
How can I set the title of UIToolBar such that it looks the same as the title in UINavigationBar?
I tried to use a button with plain style, it looks ok, but it will be highlighted when I click on it... Is there any better way to set the title in the detail view of split view?
This is what I use to present a title on a toolbar that will not highlight when pressed:
#define UIColorFromRGB(rgbValue) [UIColor \
colorWithRed:((float)((rgbValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16))/255.0 \
green:((float)((rgbValue & 0xFF00) >> 8))/255.0 \
blue:((float)(rgbValue & 0xFF))/255.0 alpha:1.0]
// choose whatever width you need instead of 600
UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 600, 23)];
label.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
label.shadowColor = UIColorFromRGB(0xe5e7eb);
label.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, 1);
label.textColor = UIColorFromRGB(0x717880);
label.text = #"your title";
label.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:20.0];
UIBarButtonItem *toolBarTitle = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:label];
[label release];
I think this would be much cleaner:
UIToolbar *toolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
UIBarButtonItem *item = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Your Title"
style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
target:nil
action:nil];
UIBarButtonItem *spacer = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace
target:nil
action:nil];
NSArray *items = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:spacer, item, spacer, nil];
[toolbar setItems:items];
toolbar.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
This solves the highlighting problem, disabled problem, and touch problem.
Toolbar and titleButton were both created in IB.
The view title is covered by the toolbar. So put the title in a toolbar.
self.titleButton.title = #"Order"; // myInterestingTitle
It looks like this:
Disable to prevent any highlighting, and to stop it from responding to touches.
self.titleButton.enabled=NO;
Then it looks like this:
It will look disabled, so set the color for disabled to white,
which has an implicit alpha=1.0.
This effectively overrides the 'disabled' look.
[self.titleButton setTitleTextAttributes:
[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[UIColor whiteColor]
forKey:UITextAttributeTextColor]
forState:UIControlStateDisabled ];
Here's what you get:
Swift 5 version of Rayfleck's great answer:
let titleButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "My Title", style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
titleButton.isEnabled = false
titleButton.setTitleTextAttributes([.foregroundColor : UIColor.black], for: .disabled)
Add this button to the toolbar as normal.
Put the regular "Rounded Rect Button" (UIButton) on toolbar (not "Bar Button Item")! Be aware, that behind the scene, IB wrap UIButton with UIBarButtonItem. It is why you have to click on button twice to get to UIButton properties (true for Xcode 4.2).
Get to UIButton properties. When you click first time, you will get "Bar button item" properties (it is what IB created automatically for you). Now click second time, you'll get to "Button" properties (also, when you selected UIButton you can't resize it and can't see resize markers).
In the Button properties set type to "Custom" to remove rounded rect border around button (you may need to resize button in IB to refresh it before you can see difference).
In the Button properties under "View" uncheck "User Interaction Enabled".
UILabel* title = [[[UILabel alloc] init] autorelease];
[title setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[title setFont:[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:20]];
[title setTextAlignment:UITextAlignmentCenter];
[title setTextColor:[UIColor grayColor]];
[title.layer setShadowColor:[[UIColor colorWithWhite:1.0 alpha:0.5] CGColor]];
[title.layer setShadowOffset:CGSizeMake(0, 1)];
[title.layer setShadowRadius:0.0];
[title.layer setShadowOpacity:1.0];
[title.layer setMasksToBounds:NO];
[title setText:#"Sample Title"];
[title sizeToFit];
// [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:title] autorelease]
Use a UIBarButtonItem in the plain style and additionally cover the toolbar in the appropriate area with a UIView that has a clear background. The view consumes the taps and hides them from the bar button item. Make sure you set the autoresizing mask correctly.
You can uncheck "Shows touch on Highlight" in Interface Builder.
For some reason the top half of the my action sheet is not opaque. I have created the view and action sheet using the code below:
//allocate the view
self.view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame]];
UIActionSheet *popupQuery = [[UIActionSheet alloc]
initWithTitle:nil
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel"
destructiveButtonTitle:nil
otherButtonTitles:#"Take a Picture",#"Select a Picture",nil];
popupQuery.delegate= self;
[popupQuery setOpaque:NO];
popupQuery.actionSheetStyle = UIActionSheetStyleBlackOpaque;
[popupQuery showInView:self.tabBarController.view];
[popupQuery release];
I then tried to fix the problem by setting the opacity of the underlying view with the code below, but that didn't help either.
[self.view setBackgroundColor: color];
UIColor *color = [[UIColor alloc] initWithRed:0.0 green:0.0 blue:0.0 alpha:0.5];
Any suggestions? The top half of the action sheet is a dark grey.
Do you mean the overlay above the actual buttons (the top half of the screen), as in the screen at the left side of this image?
alt text http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/userexperience/conceptual/mobilehig/art/ui_modalexamples.jpg
That's not supposed to be opaque. Is there some particular reason why it needs to be in your application? If you do need full coverage, perhaps a modal view controller, rather than an action sheet, would be appropriate?
Maybe the actionSheetStyle UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent could help.
