Question

I have a view in my app with many labels and a toolbar with some buttons. I would like to edit all the labels at the same time when pressing a button. I thought it might be a way to “popup” a text input and make a keyboard appear at the same time. Which is the cleanest way to do that?
Thank you

Alternatively. Here’s how I do it:

UIAlertView *prompt = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Please enter your name:"
                                                 message:@"\n\n"
                                                delegate:self
                                       cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel"
                                       otherButtonTitles:@"Enter", nil];

textField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(12, 50, 260, 25)];
[textField setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
[textField setPlaceholder:@"Name for message"];
[prompt addSubview:textField];
[textField release];

// show the dialog box
[prompt show];
[prompt release];

// set cursor and show keyboard
[textField becomeFirstResponder];

Then in the UIAlertView delegate method you read the content from textField.text 🙂
