Question

In the viewdidload method, I’ve assigned one of my text fields as first responder by the following way.

[txtUsername becomeFirstResponder];

When the view gets loaded, the text field becomes active and a keyboard appears. But when I tried typing on the keyboard, it is not responding. However when I touched the text field, the keyboard is responding properly. I don’t know what is wrong with this. can anyone give me a suggestion?

Thanks in Advance – Abilash

Calling becomeFirstResponder in viewDidLoad is not a good idea because the view might not even be on the screen and part of the view hierarchy yet.

Try calling becomeFirstResponder in viewDidAppear: instead:

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];

    [txtUsername becomeFirstResponder];
}
