uitextfield

I'm wondering how to disable the inputview of a UITextfield. Setting textField.inputView = nil; or [textField setInputView:nil] in ShouldBeginEditing doesn't do anything, and using the userInteraction property removes the ability to interact with the field. Ideally, I'd like to remove both the cursor and the keyboard while still being able interact with and switch between textfield methods, using ShouldBeginEditing and ShouldEndEditing. Is there any way to accomplish this? You should do this: myTextField.inputView = UIView.new; //Empty UIView Setting it to nil just means the default keyboard

The UITextFields in my app have placeholder text defined (in Interface Builder), and I cannot cause these fields to acquire focus (i.e. show the keyboard and allow editing) when I tap on the area occupied by the placeholder text. If I tap on the textfields in an area just outside the that of placeholder text (though still within the bounds of the textfiled itself), it acts as normal (i.e. the keyboard pops up and I can edit the content of the textfield). How can I fix this? Thanks. EDIT 1 Ok, I think I've got it. I'm also setting a blank view to the "leftView" property of these UITextFields.

I am making a UITest in Xcode. When I record my test it works fine but when I run the test, it gives an error. These are the lines of code where the error occurs: XCUIElement *clearTextTextField = [app.textFields containingType:XCUIElementTypeButton identifier:@"Clear text"].element; [clearTextTextField typeText:@"sheffield"]; The error says UI Testing Failure - No matches found for textfield I imagine this is because my Text Field does not have any initial string and the tester cannot find a text box with initial string "Clear Text" . I watched the following tutorial on youtube. The
