Question

I’ve created a table where each cell holds both a text label and a text field. I’m adding the textfields as such [cell addSubview:passwordField]; and from a visual perspective they appear and are editable, etc….

The problem arises when I attempt to retrieve the entered values from the textfields. I iterate over the cells and try to grab the subview (IE the textfield), however, my iteration only discovers the text label.

Here is the code I’m using to search:

for(NSInteger i =0; i < [tableView numberOfRowsInSection:0]; i++){
   NSIndexPath *path = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:i inSection:0];
   UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:path];
   UIView* subView = [[cell.contentView subviews]lastObject]; // I've also tried object at index here

// Anything beyond this is just matching....

Another approach I took was recursively searching the subviews, but, again that yielded no results.

Answer 1

You have added your textField on subView of cell.

[cell addSubview:passwordField];

While you’re trying to find it on cell.contentView.
Add your textField as a subView of cell.Contentview

[cell.contentView addSubview:passwordField];

And find it in this way –

for(UIView *view in [cell.contentView subviews])
{
    if([view isKindOfClass:[UITextfield class]])
    {
       UITextField *textField = (UITextField *)view;
       NSLog(@"%@",textField.text);
    }
}
