how to add checkboxes on iOS

Question

I want to add checkboxes and have a title for each checkbox and have if certain boxes are checked then it displays certain texts like

if box 1 then displays text1

if box 2 is selected then displays text2

I have created by own UI element called `UICheckBox` that basically has two different images one when checked and another when it isn't checked, you could also do this using a custom `UIButton` by changing the image for the different states one for selected and one for normal. — Popeye, Apr 23 '13 at 11:03

Try this ,

UIButton *buttonCheckbox = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 12,20, 20)];  

[buttonCheckbox addTarget:self action:@selector(toggleButton:) forControlEvents: UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

- (void)toggleButton: (id) sender
{
   UIButton *tappedButton = (UIButton*)sender;

   NSLog(@"%d",tappedButton.tag);
   if([tappedButton.currentImage isEqual:[UIImage imageNamed:@"checkbox.png"]])
  {
   [sender  setImage:[UIImage imageNamed: @"checkbox-checked.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
  }
    else
  {
   [sender  setImage:[UIImage imageNamed: @"checkbox.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

  }

You can find on Cocoa Controls some custom controls that implement checkboxes.

For example SSCheckBoxView is one of them. You can find it on github

You are looking for UISwitch, it has the same functionality with checkbox but a different appearance. Otherwise you need to create your own checkbox possibly by customizing a UIButton.

To get updated when UISwitch's value changes you need to hook up its valueChanged event to an action.

-(IBAction) valueChanged:(UISwitch *) sender
{
     if(sender.on)
     {
         ...
     }
}
