I have a UITableView with 8 cells(sections) in total in which 6 of them contain textFields as subviews and out of 2 one containing button and the other containing text view.Now I have got a problem here,as we are all aware that when ever the view appears only,the visible cells loads.So when my app gets loaded,I am able to view 5 cells,the first 4 containing text fields and the 5th cell with button.I can see the array count is 4 when i displayed it through logging in console i.e.
there are 4 objects in the array
Now after scrolling the table view,I can observe the following:
there are 6 objects in the array
So,what's happening is If I am to save the data entered in the table view,or say edit to make changes to existing data,I am forced to scroll the table view and enter the values in last cell too.So that cannot be the case always with the user because we can't expect him/her to scroll the table view and enter the complete form/table view cell entries.What ever changes he/she makes they will and just click done/save what ever it is..!
More over I am having a picker view as input view for last cell containing text field as subview.Hence in my picker view did select row method I am facing crash problem with last cell/section(textField as subview) containing a picker view here is my code snippet for the method:
-(void)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView didSelectRow:(NSInteger)row inComponent:(NSInteger)component
{
switch (tagValues)
{
case 105:
{
self.textField = [self.fields objectAtIndex:3];
self.textField.text = [self.reminder objectAtIndex:row];
}
break;
case 107:
{
//Crash occurring in this case,sometimes its working wonder why
self.textField = [self.fields objectAtIndex:5];
self.textField.text = [self.group objectAtIndex:row];
}
break;
}
}
**Note**:I am using the same textField for adding as subview to all 6 cells,but each one with unique tags and own purpose,i.e. one for editing text using key board,one with date picker,one with general picker etc...
I wonder why some times after selecting values from picker view(last section cell) crashes some times and some times works fine.Some times it crashes at the above line commented in case 107,some times in main autorelease pool.Some time thread as shown in snap below:
So is there any way that we can load all cells at once so that all the text fields get added to array before scrolling.There cannot be any problem I believe
