Question

I am trying to implement an input form on an iPhone app by using a grouped static table view.

I’m using didSelectRowAtIndexPath to lazily create a textfield and add to the relevant cell.

My problem is that becomeFirstResponder is not behaving as I would expect.

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if(indexPath.section == 0)
{
    if(!self.contactNameTextField)
    {
        self.contactNameTextField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(93, 14, 200, 20)];
        self.contactNameTextField.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
        self.contactNameTextField.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:15];
        self.contactNameTextField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeEmailAddress;
        [self.contactNameCell addSubview:self.contactNameTextField];
    }

    [self.contactNameTextField becomeFirstResponder];

}

if(indexPath.section == 1)
{
    if(!self.contactEmailTextField)
    {
        self.contactEmailTextField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(93, 14, 200, 20)];
        self.contactEmailTextField.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
        self.contactEmailTextField.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:15];
        self.contactEmailTextField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeEmailAddress;
        [self.contactEmailCell addSubview:self.contactNameTextField];
    }

    [self.contactEmailTextField becomeFirstResponder];

}

The code steps through as expected.

If I tap section 0 first, the name textfield becomes first responder. If I then tap section 1, the email textfield becomes first responder. If I then tap on section 0, even though becomeFirstResponder is called on the name textfield, it does not respond.

Also, if I tap section 1 first, even though becomeFirstResponder is called on the email textfield, it does not respond.

Please advise

Problem solved, silly cut and paste error with self.contactNameTextField in twice.
