I am using a UITableViewController
, and what I would like to do is to add a custom toolbar under the UIView
.
I have tried enabling the toolbar of the navigationController
(code below) but it won't seem to work properly. UITextField
won't call delegates, and key presses of the text field are not shown in the textfield itself.
Using a toolbar like this is not my first choice, I would like to have my custom view under my UITableViewController where I can put my items, which acts like a UIToolbar. (stays as a UIView footer)
Code:
self.navigationController.toolbarHidden = NO;
// create toolbar objects
UITextField *inputField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 230, 31)];
inputField.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
inputField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;
inputField.inputAccessoryView = self.navigationController.toolbar;
inputField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyDone;
inputField.delegate = self;
UIButton *sendButton = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 50, 30)];
sendButton.titleLabel.text = @"Send";
sendButton.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
// add objects into navigation controller
self.toolbarItems = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:inputField],
[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:sendButton], nil];
