UIPickerView - 1st row selection does not call didSelectRow

Question

I have a UIPickerView on my UIView along with a UITextField. I am letting the user select a value from the picker or enter a custom va

Answer 1

Can you programmatically select a row right after you instantiate the UIPickerView?

int firstRow = 0;
int firstOptionIndex = 0;
[myPickerView selectRow:firstRow inComponent:firstOptionIndex animated:NO];

That last line will trigger your pickerView:didSelectRow:inComponent delegate method.

In other words, that should set the value of the variable, wherever you are storing it (NSArray? not clear).
