Accessing data from table cell


I'm creating a form and was wondering if anyone knows how to retrieve a UITextField value from a table cell.

- (IBAction)saveForm:(id)sender {
   NSLog(@"TextField Value => %@", titleField.text);
}

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    ...
switch(indexPath.section)
{
    case 0:
        if (row == 0) {
        cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;

        CGRect titleFieldFrame = CGRectMake(20.0, 80.0, 280.0, 25.0);
        UITextField *titleField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:titleFieldFrame];
        [titleField setBorderStyle:UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect];
        [titleField setTextColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
        [titleField setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:16]];
        [titleField setPlaceholder:@"Title"];
        [titleField setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
        titleField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeDefault;
        titleField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyDone;
        [cell addSubview:titleField];
    } 
    break;    
return cell;

}


Solution

  • You could simply create an instance variable and assign titleField to that. Or you could assign a tag with [titleField setTag:123] and then later retrieve it via [yourTableView viewWithTag:123].
