I can't figure out why that code is not working for me.
ViewController.h
...
#property (nonatomic, copy) UITextField *textField;
...
ViewController.m
-(void)viewDidLoad
{
[self.textField addTarget:self
action:#selector(textIsChanged:)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventEditingChanged];
}
-(void)textIsChanged:(id)sender;
{
NSLog(#"Changed");
}
When I type something in the textField textIsChanged method is never invoked.
You should declare textField as an IBOutlet like this:
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITextField *textField;
or, if you are using ARC (Automatic Reference Counting):
#property (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UITextField *textField;
and bind it from the xib file in interface builder.

I have to create a custom AlertView with a view that contain some label. I create the .h and .m of CustomAlert
this is the CustomAlert.h.
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#interface CustomAlert: UIView
#property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet UILabel *ok;
#property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet UILabel *ok1;
#property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet UILabel *ok2;
#property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet UILabel *ok3;
#property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet UILabel *ok4;
#property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet UILabel *ok5;
#end
and this is the CustomAlert.m.
#import "CustomAlert.h"
#implementation CustomAlert
#synthesize ok = _ok;
#synthesize ok1 = _ok1;
#synthesize ok2 = _ok2;
#synthesize ok3 = _ok3;
#synthesize ok4 = _ok4;
#synthesize ok5 = _ok5;;
#end
I also create the xib with just a view and i connect the label with all the "ok".
Now, i want to add this View to an AlertView with just an Ok button. How can i do it? I want to use it with ios 7 and 6.
Thanks!!
In iOS 7 you should not munge a UIAlertView like this - and there is no need, because thanks to custom view transitions you can make your own small presented view in front of your interface, so that it looks and acts like a UIAlertView but can contain anything you like.
I've written an online tutorial on how to do this:
http://programming.oreilly.com/2014/01/transcending-uialertview-on-ios-7.html
And there's a downloadable github project that goes with it:
https://github.com/mattneub/custom-alert-view-iOS7
#import "BGReviewController.h"
#interface BGReviewController (protected)
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIImageView *backgroundImage;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *dislikeButton;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *likeButton;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *post;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *cancel;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextView *textView;
#end
Then I add:
#synthesize backgroundImage = _backgroundImage;
#synthesize dislikeButton = _dislikeButton;
#synthesize likeButton = _likeButton;
#synthesize post = _post;
#synthesize cancel = _cancel;
#synthesize textView = _textView;
And I got error:
/business/Dropbox/badgers/BadgerNew/BGReviewController.m:32:13: Property declared in category 'protected' cannot be implemented in class implementation
Should I declare the synthesize in the implementation file of the category and then put the ivars explicitly?
you cant #synthesize in a category, you have to do the getters and setter manually
check out this answer
Replace
#interface BGReviewController (protected)
With
#interface BGReviewController ()
I went through guide from Apple "Your first iOS app"
and now I have a button, which is not declared in ViewController:
#interface HelloWorldViewController : UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate>
- (IBAction)changeGreeting:(id)sender;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *textField;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *label;
#property (copy, nonatomic) NSString *userName;
#end
Now i can remove label (and textField), using [label removeFromSuperview]; but i dont understand how to do it with button. Can someone help?
You should add an IBOutlet to the button as you did for the textfield and the label:
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *textField;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *label;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *button; // Don't forget to link to this from Interface Builder
// ...
Then you can remove the button using:
[button removeFromSuperview];
Also note that the tutorial you linked to says:
The sender parameter in the action method refers to the object that is sending the action message (in this tutorial, the sender is the button).
So if you want to remove the button when it is tapped (inside changeGreeting:), then you don't need the IBOutlet because you already have a reference to the button in the sender parameter:
- (IBAction)changeGreeting:(id)sender
{
UIButton *button = (UIButton *)sender;
// ...
[button removeFromSuperview];
// ...
}
You need to declare the button in the controller like you did as an IBAction and this time declare this as an Outlet(IBoutlet).. this way you will get its reference in code..
Alternatively .. you can set a tag to the button in Interface Builder
..
and then retrieve in code using viewWithTag: method
I have searched stackoverflow for similar problems and have found some, but they did not resolve my problem. I have 3 textfields (name,address,phone) from which I want to get the text. I have declared them in the (.h) file, also the #property, and then #synthesized them in the (.m) file. I have a IBAction for a button declared in the (.h) file and linked up correctly. Now when I push this button I want to get the values from the textfields but NSLog shows they are all (null) even before I do anything with the textfields. Its very simple code, i can't understand why it returns null.
//CoreDataViewController.h
#interface coreDataViewController : UIViewController {
UITextField *name;
UITextField *address;
UITextField *phone;
UILabel *status;
}
#property (strong, retain) IBOutlet UITextField *name;
#property (strong, retain) IBOutlet UITextField *address;
#property (strong, retain) IBOutlet UITextField *phone;
#property (strong, retain) IBOutlet UILabel *status;
- (IBAction) saveData;
#end
//CoreDataViewController.m
#import "coreDataViewController.h"
#import "AppDelegate.h"
#implementation coreDataViewController
#synthesize name=_name;
#synthesize phone=_phone;
#synthesize address=_address;
#synthesize status=_status;
- (void) saveData
{
NSLog(#"Name %# Address %# Phone %#",self.name.text,self.address.text,self.phone.text);
...some more code (commented out)....
}
IMO you have incorrectly synthesized iVars.
You use syntax:
synthesize name=_name;
but in the .h file you have:
#interface coreDataViewController : UIViewController {
UITextField *name;
UITextField *address;
UITextField *phone;
UILabel *status;
}
Change this part to:
#interface coreDataViewController : UIViewController {
UITextField *_name;
UITextField *_address;
UITextField *_phone;
UILabel *_status;
}
Just change below code
write synthesize like this
#synthesize name;
#synthesize phone;
#synthesize address;
#synthesize status;
ratherthen
#synthesize name=_name;
#synthesize phone=_phone;
#synthesize address=_address;
#synthesize status=_status;
I am working on an app using multiple view controllers and the navigation controller. When the application runs and executes the following code, it throws an exception when trying to add the sub view.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
[self.window addSubview:[navigationController view]];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
}
I declare the navigation controller like so:
#interface SimpleContactsAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> {
NSManagedObjectModel *managedObjectModel;
NSManagedObjectContext *managedObjectContext;
NSPersistentStoreCoordinator *persistentStoreCoordinator;
UIWindow *window;
UINavigationController *navigationController;
// view for adding new contacts
UIViewController *newContactView;
UIButton *addButton;
// controls for the addContactView
UIButton *saveContactButton;
UITextField *nameField;
UITextField *emailField;
UITextField *phoneField;
UITableView *contactsTable;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain, readonly) NSManagedObjectModel *managedObjectModel;
#property (nonatomic, retain, readonly) NSManagedObjectContext *managedObjectContext;
#property (nonatomic, retain, readonly) NSPersistentStoreCoordinator *persistentStoreCoordinator;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UINavigationController *navigationController;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIButton *addButton;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITableView *contactsTable;
// controller and fields for the form
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIViewController *newContactView;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITextField *nameField;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITextField *emailField;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITextField *phoneField;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIButton *saveContactButton;
I have connected the navigation controller to the Delegate object in the XIB. Feel free to have a look at my full source: https://github.com/agmcleod/SimpleContacts/tree/parttwo
I've tried using Instruments with NSZombie, but it doesnt seem to stop and let me inspect what has particularly gone wrong. It also just keeps running sometimes, and won't terminate. I end up having to force quit it using active terminal.
First of all, you declare a property, but access the UINavigationController through its instance variable instead of using the property.
Use this:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
[self.window addSubview:[self.navigationController view]];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
Second, you changed the name of your main nib file to "Window.xib". You either have to change it back to "MainWindow.xib" or you will have to edit your SimpleContacts-Info.plist and change the value for "Main nib file base name" to "Window".
