    <p>I have several UITextView subviews, all using the same custom input interface (basically a numberpad with an autofill-option and a save button).</p> <p>My problem is that the delegate method shouldChangeCharactersInRange: is not called when the textfield's text is modified from my custom keyboard (it does work when pasting text from clipboard into the textfields and also when using the standard numberpad keyboard). The text of the textfields change, but the delegate method to prevent invalid entries is not called. Other delegate methods of style DidBeginEditing: are called always.</p> <p>despite of what is said in this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8917172/uitextview-delegate-never-called">SO LINK</a> the <a href="http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/UITextViewDelegate_Protocol/Reference/UITextViewDelegate.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006897-CH3-SW" rel="nofollow noreferrer">documentation</a> states that the shouldChangeCharactersInRange: delegate method will be called: "The text view calls this method whenever the user types a new character or deletes an existing character." </p> <p>What am I missing?</p> <p>relevant code parts:</p> <p>ViewController.h:</p> <pre><code>@interface ManualPositionViewController : UIViewController &lt;UITextFieldDelegate&gt; { LocationEntryTextField *latitude; } @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet LocationEntryTextField *latitude; @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet LocationKeyboard *locationKeyboard; .. </code></pre> <p>ViewController.m:</p> <pre><code>@synthesize latitude; @synthesize locationKeyboard; self.latitude.inputView = locationKeyboard; self.latitude.delegate = self; - (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(LocationEntryTextField *)aTextField { NSLog(@"textFieldDidBeginEditing called!"); self.locationKeyboard.currentTextfield = aTextField; } - (BOOL)textField:(LocationEntryTextField *)editedTextField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)replacementString { NSLog(@"shouldChangeCharactersInRange called!"); NSCharacterSet *decimalSet = [NSCharacterSet decimalDigitCharacterSet]; if ([[replacementString stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:decimalSet] isEqualToString:@""]) { NSLog(@"Result: YES"); return YES; } else { NSLog(@"Result: NO"); return NO; } } </code></pre> <p>LocationKeyboard.h:</p> <pre><code>#import &lt;UIKit/UIKit.h&gt; #import "LocationEntryTextField.h" @interface LocationKeyboard : UIView { LocationEntryTextField *currentTextfield; // track first responder } @property (weak) LocationEntryTextField *currentTextfield; - (IBAction) numberButtonPressed:(UIButton*)sender; - (IBAction) backspaceButtonPressed:(UIButton*)sender; @end - (IBAction) numberButtonPressed:(UIButton*)sender { NSString *entryString = @"test"; [self.currentTextfield replaceRange:self.currentTextfield.selectedTextRange withText:entryString]; } </code></pre> <p>LocationEntryTextField.h:</p> <pre><code>@interface LocationEntryTextField : UITextField .. </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
