After a some time, searching here for some solutions we found this post:

How to navigate through textfields (Next / Done Buttons)

We tried that but unfortunately it doesn't work at all. Note that we put the UITextFields inside a UITableView.

We think the problem is around the Delegates but we don't know how to deal with it. Following i show you our code:

.h:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface LoginViewController : UIViewController <UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource, UITextFieldDelegate> {

    UITableView *loginTableView;
    UITextField *textField;

}

@property UITableView *loginTableView;
@property UITextField *textField;
@property UIButton *loginButton;
@property UIButton *cancelButton;

@end

.m:

#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
#import "LoginViewController.h"
#import "RootViewController.h"

@interface LoginViewController ()

@end

@implementation LoginViewController

@synthesize loginTableView, textField, loginButton, cancelButton;

- (void)viewDidLoad {

    [super viewDidLoad];

    // Make rounded corners view
    [self.view.layer setCornerRadius:4.0];
    [self.view.layer setMasksToBounds:YES];
    self.view.layer.opaque = NO;
    self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];

    // Create background image view
    UIImageView *loginBackgroundImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.bounds.size.width, self.view.bounds.size.height+20)];
    // Create background's image
    UIImage *backgroundImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"loginbackground.png"];
    loginBackgroundImageView.image = backgroundImage;
    [self.view addSubview:loginBackgroundImageView];

    // Create logo's image
    UIImage *logoImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"logo.png"];

    // Create logo's image view
    UIImageView *logoImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(self.view.bounds.size.width/2 - logoImage.size.width/2, self.view.bounds.size.height/9, logoImage.size.width, logoImage.size.height)];

    // Set image to logo's image view
    logoImageView.image = logoImage;

    [self.view addSubview:logoImageView];

    // Create login table view
    loginTableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(self.view.bounds.size.width/2 - (self.view.bounds.size.width/1.2)/2, self.view.bounds.size.height/3, self.view.bounds.size.width/1.25, 100) style:UITableViewStylePlain
                      ];
    loginTableView.delegate = self;
    loginTableView.dataSource = self;

    // Create login container table view
    UIImage *containerImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"loginform.png"];
    UIImageView *containerImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(self.view.bounds.size.width/2 - containerImage.size.width/2, self.view.bounds.size.height/3, containerImage.size.width, containerImage.size.height)];
    containerImageView.image = containerImage;
    [self.view addSubview:containerImageView];

    // Custom table view
    loginTableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    loginTableView.separatorColor = [UIColor clearColor];

    // Disable scroll
    loginTableView.scrollEnabled = NO;

    // Add login table view to main view
    [self.view addSubview:loginTableView];

    // Create buttons images
    UIImage *loginImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"loginbtn2.png"];
    UIImage *cancelImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"cancelbtn.png"];

    // Create buttons
    loginButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
    cancelButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];

    // Set buttons' normal state image
    [loginButton setImage:loginImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    [cancelButton setImage:cancelImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];

    // Place buttons
    loginButton.frame= CGRectMake((self.view.bounds.size.width/2)-(loginImage.size.width/2), self.view.bounds.size.height/1.65, loginImage.size.width, loginImage.size.height);
    cancelButton.frame= CGRectMake((self.view.bounds.size.width/2)-(cancelImage.size.width/2), self.view.bounds.size.height/1.375, cancelImage.size.width, cancelImage.size.height);

    // Set buttons' action
    [loginButton addTarget:self action:@selector(loginButtonPressed:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
    [cancelButton addTarget:self action:@selector(cancelButtonPressed:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

    // Set button to the main view
    [self.view addSubview:loginButton];
    [self.view addSubview:cancelButton];

Give tag to your textField one by one and use textField delegate

-(BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField
{
    int NextTextField = textField.tag+1;

    UITextField *txt = (UITextField *) [tableView viewWithTag:NextTextField];
    [txt becomeFirstResponder];
    return NO;
}

The problem is the table. When you ask you text view for it's superview, it will return the cell, which doesn't contain any other siblings. Try:

UIResponder* nextResponder = [tableView viewWithTag:nextTag];

  • Hey danh! I totally make sense what you said about tableView so I just tried what you said but it doesn't work either. I've seen I'm having a lot of trouble with textField and tableView delegates. Now, some times, by just clicking the textField, the app crashes unexpectedly so I'll try to do it without the tableView, just with textFields, at first and get it working. Then I'll add the tableView if necessary. Thank you for your help. – Roger Fernandez Guri Dec 16 '12 at 01:28

Creare an array with your UITextField inside the cellForRowAtIndexPath: method..

[txtArray addObject:textField]; 

and then this bellow method it will work...

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField {
    int i=[txtArray count];
    int x=textField.tag+1;
    UITextField *nextTextField = (UITextField *)[txtArray objectAtIndex:x];
    if (x<i-1) {
        [nextTextField becomeFirstResponder];
    } else {
        [textField resignFirstResponder];
    }
    return YES;
}

i hope this help you...
