Question

I’m trying to use TWTweetComposeViewController to do a simple tweet from iOS 5. It works if there is one text field, but how do you create a string of text from 3 UITextFields?

Here is the header text:

@property (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UITextField *theWorld;
@property (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UITextField *isGreen;
@property (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UITextField *andBeautiful;

And the implementation:

{
    TWTweetComposeViewController *tweetSheet = 
    [[TWTweetComposeViewController alloc] init];

    [tweetSheet setInitialText:
     theWorld.text];

    [self presentModalViewController:tweetSheet animated:YES];
}

Notice I only have one text field at the moment and it tweets that input text. I have no idea how tweet all 3 values from the UITextField at the same time.

Answer 1

Use the +stringWithFormat: method of NSString, passing in the values from your three text fields:

NSString *text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@ %@", 
                           theWorld.text, isGreen.text, andBeautiful.text];
[tweetSheet setInitialText:text];
