When I click inside text box, How can I add plus button to UITextField as shown in the following screen? When this button is clicked it would launch iPhone contact application. I would very much appreciate any code example. Thanks
You can use the below code for this:
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
if(textField == yourFirstTextField)
{
UIButton *addButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[addButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"addImage.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[addButton addTarget:self action:@selector(yourActionHere) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
textField.rightViewMode = UITextFieldViewModeWhileEditing;
textField.rightView = addButton;
}
}
You can use the above method if you added the field in IB.
If you are created it through code, you need to add the below code when creating:
UIButton *addButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[addButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"addImage.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[addButton addTarget:self action:@selector(yourActionHere) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
textField.rightViewMode = UITextFieldViewModeWhileEditing;
textField.rightView = addButton;
