ios - How can I edit text in a UITextField when its inside a UITableViewCell? -

i trying create form tableview, have seen one thousand times in other apps, figured simple.

my effort below. added uitextfield content view of uitableviewcell. have tried implementing uitextfielddelegate methods , setting selection style none.

can see doing wrong?

i using canned uitableviewcontroller separate nsobject handle delegate , datasource methods, , custom uitableviewcell subclass.

right when tap cells, not becomefirstresponder, nil happens @ all. tried setting breakpoints in setselected, not appear triggered.

my tableviewcell code

@implementation hstableviewcell - (void)willmovetosuperview:(uiview *)newsuperview { [self.contentview addsubview:self.textfield]; nsdictionary *elements = nsdictionaryofvariablebindings(_textfield); nsarray *verticalconstraints = [nslayoutconstraint constraintswithvisualformat:@"v:|[_textfield]|" options:nslayoutformatdirectionlefttoright metrics:nil views:elements]; nsarray *horizontalconstraints = [nslayoutconstraint constraintswithvisualformat:@"h:|-[_textfield]-|" options:nslayoutformatdirectionlefttoright metrics:nil views:elements]; [self.contentview addconstraints:verticalconstraints]; [self.contentview addconstraints:horizontalconstraints]; } - (void)prepareforreuse { [self.textfield removefromsuperview]; [self.contentview removeconstraints:self.contentview.constraints]; self.textfield = nil; } - (uitextfield *)textfield { if (!_textfield) { _textfield = [uitextfield new]; [_textfield settranslatesautoresizingmaskintoconstraints:no]; [_textfield setplaceholder:@"test"]; } homecoming _textfield; } @end

uitableviewcontroller init

- (uitableviewcontroller *)tableviewcontroller { if (!_tableviewcontroller) { _tableviewcontroller = [[uitableviewcontroller alloc] initwithstyle:uitableviewstyleplain]; [_tableviewcontroller.tableview setdatasource:self.tableviewdatamanager]; [_tableviewcontroller.tableview setdelegate:self.tableviewdatamanager]; [_tableviewcontroller.tableview registerclass:[hstableviewcell class] forcellreuseidentifier:identifer]; } homecoming _tableviewcontroller; }

and uitableviewdelegate/datasource

@implementation hstableviewdatamanger - (nsinteger)numberofsectionsintableview:(uitableview *)tableview { homecoming 1; } - (nsinteger)tableview:(uitableview *)tableview numberofrowsinsection:(nsinteger)section { homecoming 5; } - (uitableviewcell *)tableview:(uitableview *)tableview cellforrowatindexpath:(nsindexpath *)indexpath { uitableviewcell *cell = [tableview dequeuereusablecellwithidentifier:identifer forindexpath:indexpath]; homecoming cell; } @end

if interested, test project below

this barebones, trying isolate need accomplish desired behavior.

i'm not sure why adding text views in willmovetosuperview doesn't work, that's unusual place that. should set code have there initwithstyle:reuseidentifier:, , should delete prepareforreuse method (the text fields added 1 time in init method, there's no need delete them). should give text fields editable.
