My Textfield UITableViewCell and my textfieldShouldReturn are not seeing eye to eye

Question

After selecting a cell and writing something in it, I would like to hit the return/next button on the keyboard and simply move to the next cell, that's what I am trying to achieve. But after placing a breakpoint on my method textfieldShouldReturn, I find that it does not get visited, even though I pressed on the return/next key. Can someone explain why?

Thank you.

What do you mean by cell. It will only call when you have UITextField in the cell and also set delegate to self.

UITextField *txt=[[UITextField alloc]initWithFrame:CellFrame];
text.tag=indexPath.row;
txt.delegate=self;

[cell.contentView addSubview:txt];

then it will definitely call textFieldShouldReturn method. on return click

I have similar, I tried adding my code as answer but I have to wait 8hours. I have seen several post telling other people with similar issues about files owner and delegate, but how can I make something that is programmatically part of files owner? If that is even the problem? – Neil Porven Sep 23 '11 at 04:23

@interface WordListTableController : UITableViewController <UITextFieldDelegate>
{
}

@end

// Customize the appearance of table view cells. - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault     reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
}

// Configure the cell...
UITextField *FirstField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 130, 25)];
FirstField.delegate = self;
[FirstField setTag:indexPath.row];
FirstField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyNext;
[cell.contentView addSubview:FirstField];
[FirstField release];


return cell;
}


// Handle any actions, after the return/next/done button is pressed
- (BOOL)textfieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textfield 
{
[textfield resignFirstResponder];

return NO;
}
