How to create a new textView every time when clicking on the same button?

Question

I would like to create a new uitextview every time when the user click on the same uibutton.

I've tried to write some codes but I can create one uitextview only. Would be glad if there's some sample code that can be provided to help me out.

Thanks in advance.

    UITextView *newTextView =[[UITextView alloc]init];
    newTextView.frame=CGRectMake(0,0,100,100);
    [textView addSubview:newTextView];
    newTextView.delegate=self;
    [newTextView release];

In case of your code will create the new textView as you required but it will overlap the last one so you can see that new . you need to create int y variable increase the value everytime then will change the y codinate of your textView.

-(IBAction)addTView:(id)sender  {
    UITextView *newTextView =[[UITextView alloc]init];
    newTextView.frame=CGRectMake(0,y,100,100);
    [textView addSubview:newTextView];
    newTextView.delegate=self;
    [newTextView release];
    y = y + 100; 
}

then add it On your View where you want to add using [self.view addSubView: yourView]

Thanks a lot, may I know how to declare the `y` as there's error saying use of undeclared idenitifer `y` – zeropt7 May 15 '13 at 08:45
use `int y;` in .h file and then `y=0` in `viewDidLoad`. – Buntylm May 15 '13 at 08:47
