iOS Question TextView ... again

[imbault]

Sorry @Erel to come back on TextView, but like there is no event except click and longclick, I've add a TextView in a TableView, I just want to know if this TextView has been modified in order to save changes, I don't see how to do that, before the user strickes page back

Thanks

Why you are not using TextField?

Cause I need a multi lines control...., any suggestion?

save it every time user goes back?

The most costume way is to use inline OBJC and use UITextView delegates to catch every event.

we don't have this event

I would be delighted to receive such code

What about the Page_Disappear event. Can you save whatever is in the TextView then?

Right, that's what I've done, but in order to validate stuff in the tableview, I'm obliged to go back from main page...

Ok. Maybe as Erel said in another thread. Don't show the Back button and add your own button to handle the going back. At least then you could do the validation?

 

[imbault]

Both alternatives are do able, but they are not satisfying, I definitely think we need events other than click and longclick for TextView, is obvious...

You need to provide a way for the user to commit the text when you use TextView. It can be a "done" button or it can be an accessory view: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/input-accessory-views.51000/#post-318960
