UITextField-Navigation
Description
UITextField-Navigation adds next, previous and done buttons to the keyboard for your UITextField
s and UITextView
s. It allows you to specify a next field either on the Interface Builder or programmatically. Then, you can access next and previous fields of each UITextField
or UITextView
easily.
The UI is highly customizable. RTL languages are supported.
To run the example project:
pod try UITextField-Navigation
Usage
Basic
You can set the nextNavigationField
property for each UITextField
and UITextView
either on the Interface Builder or programmatically. The previousNavigationField
property will be set on the other UITextField
or UITextView
automatically for you.
Example:
import UITextField_Navigation
...
let textField = UITextField()
let textView = UITextView()
textField.nextNavigationField = textView
assert(textView == textField.nextNavigationField)
assert(textField == textView.previousNavigationField)
Please note that the nextNavigationField
and previousNavigationField
properties are not retained.
Capturing taps
To capture taps on the next, previous and done buttons, assign a delegate
to your NavigationField
, which is a UITextField
or UITextView
, also either on the Interface Builder or programmatically. Then implement the NavigationFieldDelegate
protocol (in addition to the UITextFieldDelegate
or UITextViewDelegate
protocol) for the delegate
.
Please note that you have to explicitly declare that the delegate
conforms to the NavigationFieldDelegate
protocol to make it work.
Swift:
import UIKit
import UITextField_Navigation
...
extension ViewController: NavigationFieldDelegate { // explicitly protocol conforming declaration
func navigationFieldDidTapPreviousButton(_ navigationField: NavigationField) {
navigationField.previousNavigationField?.becomeFirstResponder()
// your custom work
}
func navigationFieldDidTapNextButton(_ navigationField: NavigationField) {
navigationField.nextNavigationField?.becomeFirstResponder()
// your custom work
}
func navigationFieldDidTapDoneButton(_ navigationField: NavigationField) {
navigationField.resignFirstResponder()
// your custom work
}
}
Objective-C:
@import UITextField_Navigation;
#import "ViewController.h"
@interface ViewController () <NavigationFieldDelegate> // explicitly protocol conforming declaration
...
#pragma mark - NavigationFieldDelegate
- (void)navigationFieldDidTapPreviousButton:(id<NavigationField>)navigationField {
[navigationField.previousNavigationField becomeFirstResponder];
// your custom work
}
- (void)navigationFieldDidTapNextButton:(id<NavigationField>)navigationField {
[navigationField.nextNavigationField becomeFirstResponder];
// your custom work
}
- (void)navigationFieldDidTapDoneButton:(id<NavigationField>)navigationField {
[navigationField resignFirstResponder];
// your custom work
}
Set button titles
The titles of the previous, next and done buttons can be modified for each instant by setting the title
property of each corresponding button.
navigationField.navigationFieldToolbar?.previousButton.title = "Previous"
navigationField.navigationFieldToolbar?.nextButton.title = "Next"
navigationField.navigationFieldToolbar?.doneButton.title = "Dismiss"
Or they can be set globally for all instances using Config
.
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
UITextField_Navigation.Config.previousButtonTitle = "Previous"
UITextField_Navigation.Config.nextButtonTitle = "Next"
UITextField_Navigation.Config.doneButtonTitle = "Done"
return true
}
UI Customization
Using UIAppearance
Modify the appearance proxy of the NavigationFieldToolbar
and NavigationFieldToolbarButtonItem
classes to customize the navigation view's UI for all fields.
NavigationFieldToolbar.appearance().barStyle = .black
NavigationFieldToolbar.appearance().backgroundColor = .purple
if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
UIButton.appearance(whenContainedInInstancesOf: [NavigationFieldToolbar.self]).tintColor = .white
} else {
NavigationFieldToolbarButtonItem.appearance().tintColor = .white
}
Directly and adding more buttons
Alternatively, you can directly modify the UI of each navigation view by accessing the navigationFieldToolbar
property of a UITextField
or UITextView
.
...
navigationField.navigationFieldToolbar?.barStyle = .default
navigationField.navigationFieldToolbar?.backgroundColor = .red
// Add a custom button
let customButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Custom", style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
let flexibleSpace = UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: .flexibleSpace, target: nil, action: nil)
navigationField.navigationFieldToolbar?.items = [navigationField.navigationFieldToolbar!.previousButton, navigationField.navigationFieldToolbar!.nextButton, customButton, flexibleSpace, navigationField.navigationFieldToolbar!.doneButton]
