Using a UIDatePicker for multiple UITextFields [duplicate]
This question already has an answer here:
Swift: One UITimePicker, Multiple Textfields
1 answer
I have two UITextFields (but will eventually add more), created as outlets like so
@IBOutlet weak var startField: UITextField!
@IBOutlet weak var finishField: UITextField!
I'd like the input view for both to be a UIDatePicker with datePickerMode = .time and .dateFormat = "HH:mm".
How can I achieve this?
I've figured out how to get the format correct, but I'm not sure how to get both UITextFields to work independently, everything I've tried so far affects just the first field (as below, as I'm unsure how to use tags in this situation).
(eg even when selecting finishField, startField is the one that is edited/populated).
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
let datePickerView: UIDatePicker = UIDatePicker()
datePickerView.datePickerMode = .time
startField.inputView = datePickerView
finishField.inputView = datePickerView
datePickerView.addTarget(self, action: #selector(ViewController.datePickerValueChanged), for: UIControl.Event.valueChanged)
}
@objc func datePickerValueChanged(sender: UIDatePicker) {
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "HH:mm"
startField.text = dateFormatter.string(from: sender.date)
}
I have tried using tags but it still seems to only affect startField.

You can check which text field is active in the selector and change the text accordingly.
@objc func datePickerValueChanged(sender: UIDatePicker) {
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "HH:mm"
if startTextField.isFirstResponder {
startField.text = dateFormatter.string(from: sender.date)
} else if finishTextField.isFirstResponder {
finishTextField.text = dateFormatter.string(from: sender.date)
}
// Handle the other cases if any
}
If there are a lot of text fields you could store them in an array and loop them and check which is active.

If i have 50 textfield then this approach is not good.

That works, thank you! Tried doing similar with tags before and it didn't work, not sure why. I've deleted that code now anyway so can't check.
