I’m writing a POS application for the iPhone/iPod combination, using the same exact hardware used in Apple Stores:: EasyPay.
Ok, my hurdle is this: how do I identify which credit card type is being used as text is entered in the uitextfield?
I assume I’ve to use textField:shouldChangeCharactersInRange:replacementString:? However, I’ve got ideas floating around, but I simple cannot put them together to form code :/
Any help is appreciated!
I think you are on the right track with
textField:shouldChangeCharactersInRange:replacementString:, as this gets called each time the user changes the content in the text field. It sounds like you do not actually want to change the textField, but instead want to change another, related control that identifies the card type. You can use the algorithm described in Determine Credit Card Type By Number as a helper function to adjust credit card type accordingly when the user begins typing.You may want to skip the full verification until the input string has the correct number of characters.
Update: an interesting response in the same thread mentions that actually letting the user pick credit card type is a good idea because it at least shows the user the list of credit cards you accept.
