I'm using iOS 5 and trying to use TextField with UITextFieldDelegate, it's worked exactly like I want (but JUST in the first View). I don't understand, why it's not working in the next view.

For simple example, I created new project (ViewController). There I added one button, that connect to another view (SecondViewController). In the SecondViewController, I have one TextField. With this textField I want to use textFieldShouldReturn. But it seems, that this method is not being called. What I know, I should write the delegate in ViewDidLoad. Should I write myTextField.delegate = self; ? but I think something wrong there. I used Debugging, and always at that position, i'm getting problem. Could you please tell me, what the problem is? and how can i solve it ;(

Thanks in advance.....

Here is my code (that it works, in the first view (ViewController). Unfortunately here not (SecondViewController):

SecondViewController.h

@interface SecondViewController : UIViewController<UITextFieldDelegate>

@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *myTextField;

@end

SecondViewController.m

@implementation SecondViewController

@synthesize myTextField;


- (void)viewDidLoad{

    [super viewDidLoad];

    myTextField.delegate = self; // here i get the problem
}

-(BOOL) textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField{   // this method is not being called


    [textField resignFirstResponder];
    NSLog(@"is called!");
    NSString *valueMyTextField = myTextField.text;
    NSLog(@"%@", valueMyTextField);

    return YES;
}

Problem solved... :) The problem was the connection from firstView to secondView. Do not use addSubView, if you want to add Controller! Use presentModalViewController :) Hope it helps, in case you have the same problem like me.

In the nib file, please check that whether you have checked the Auto-enable Return Key check box for the text field.

    Also try setting the delegate through nib itself by setting the delegate to the file owner, considering the file owner is SecondViewController.. – Ilanchezhian Nov 21 '11 at 10:45
  • do you mean, instead textField.delegate = self; i should set the delegate through nib. from textField into file owner, right? i have done before, but it's not working :( it's confusing, i think the delegate address is not correct... but where should i delegate, i didn't know... if i make directly in the first view controller, i don't have the problem. please help me... ;( – NitNot Nov 21 '11 at 10:50
