How to insert UIImageView in UITextView in the same way that iphone default message (SMS) app uses to insert multimedia content in the UITextView

Question

I want to insert UIImageView in UITextView of Toolbar having send and camera button in the same way as iPhone default SMS app do.

Answer 1

I agree with Aaron. Based on what I have seen, I believe the native SMS app is actually a UITableView with highly modified TableCells. The TableCells are then composite views that contain the UITextView and UIImageView as Aaron suggested.

It might be a little more work up front, but I think you will find the customization of defining your own UITableCell with the above elements will be quite useful and fall in line with the overall iOS paradigm. Things work a lot better when you work with the native paradigms than against / around them.
