[iPhone] Problems with UITextFields in UITableView

Question

Hi all,
I have a UITableView in which I want to insert many UITextFields, one per row. Moreover, I want that when I load this UITableView, the first UITextField is selected, and the keyboard appears. Also, I want that pressing "enter" on the keyboard moves the focus to the next UITextField. But... it's not as easy as it looks
I have followed this steps:
1) I have created an EditableCell class, that inherit from UITableViewCell, with an UITextField attribute.
2) In the tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: method I alloc and init the EditableCell using the dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier "pattern". (The reuse of a cell is a mess with UITextFields!)
3) In the viewDidAppear of my table view I obtain the first cell (using cellForRowAtIndexPath -is it correct?-) and I call on it becomeFirstResponder.
4) I created a table data source (of kind NSMutableArray) that I update every time that a UITextFieldTextDidChangeNotification notification arrives.
5) I populate the method textFieldShouldReturn to "loop" between row.
I think that this is a not good solution. It works, but with some "small" problems. Moreover, I think that it is too much... complex.
Do you have any suggestions? Or pointer to articles, books, and so on?
Thank you very much!

Answer 1

I apologize for the insistence, but I'm really interested in answers to this question
Do you use UITextFields in UITableView? Or do you use other alternatives for "data entry" (e.g. registration forms with many fields)?
Thank you!
