UITextField focus

How can I programmatically assign focus to a specific UITextField in a view? I have several fields and on view display, I'd like to put the cursor on a specific field, not the first one at top.

Solution

  • Try doing this in viewWillAppear:

    [desiredField becomeFirstResponder];

    By making the field the first responder, it have focus and the keyboard will be displayed.
