Add subview to custom class
I have a UITextField that I want to create my own class for. So I created a file with a subclass UITextField
. Then in a custom class, I want to implement tableView
. A kind of autocomplete textField
.
I started building it and added it tableView
like this:
[self addSubview:self.tableView];
When I run the application, it tableView
is in textField
, so I can only see a part tableView
. How can I add it like subview
to see the complete one tableView
?

This is what you are looking for https://github.com/gaurvw/MPGTextField
This uitextfield subclass does what you want - it's built for the search function. If you still want to use your own, add the tableview not to the uitextfield itself, but like
[[self superview] addSubview:tableViewController.tableView];
EDIT:
you can set the frame like:
CGRect frameForPresentation = [self frame];
frameForPresentation.origin.y += self.frame.size.height;
frameForPresentation.size.height = 200;
[tableViewController.tableView setFrame:frameForPresentation];
The way to add a subview to a uitextfield is to overload the layoutSubviews method and create it:
- (void)layoutSubviews
{
[super layoutSubviews];
if (!self.tableview.superview)
{
[self setupView];
}
}

This will add tableView
both subView textField
.
self.tableView.frame = CGRectMake(0, CGRectGetHeight(self.bounds), CGRectGetWidth(self.bounds), YOUR_TABLE_HEIGHT);
[self addSubview:self.tableView];
self.clipsToBounds = NO;
However, the best way is to do tableView
both subView paging textField
, i.e. textField
and tableView
must be brothers and sisters.
