UITableViewCell with UITextField losing the ability to select UITableView row?

Question

I am almost done implementing a UITableViewCell with a UITextField in it. Rather then going through CGRectMake and UITableViewCe

First of all you needed to use reuseIdentifier for cellForRowAtIndexPath, reason if you do not use reuseIdentifier is: when you scroll up and down, it will always allocate new cell and new textfields so you need to put cell==nil condition, so revised code is here:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
  static NSString *reuseIdentifier = @"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
if (cell==nil) {
    cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc]initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier] autorelease];

     UITextField *amountField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(110, 10, 190, 30)];
     amountField.placeholder = @"Enter amount";
     amountField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeDecimalPad;
     amountField.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentRight;
     amountField.clearButtonMode = UITextFieldViewModeNever; 
     [amountField setDelegate:self];
     [cell.contentView addSubview:amountField];
}
[cell setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone];
[[cell textLabel] setText:@"Amount"];

return cell;
}

In didSelect delegate method you can do like this

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
  [prevField resignFirstResponder];
  UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
  UIView *view = [[cell.contentView subviews] lastObject];
  if([view isKindOfClass:[UITextField class]]{
     currentField = (UITextField*)view;
  }
  [currentField becomeFirstResponder];
  prevField = currentField;
}
