Select text in UIAlertController's text field
I have rewrote your code. Your class should conform to the UITextFieldDelegate
protocol and implement the textFieldDidBeginEditing
method, like this:
class ViewController: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let ac = UIAlertController(title: "Rename", message: nil, preferredStyle: .Alert)
ac.addTextFieldWithConfigurationHandler({
[] (textField: UITextField) in
textField.text = "filename.dat"
textField.delegate = self
})
ac.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "CANCEL", style: .Cancel, handler: nil))
ac.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .Default, handler: {
[] Void in
// do something
}))
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), {
self.presentViewController(ac, animated: true, completion: nil)
})
}
func textFieldDidBeginEditing(textField: UITextField) {
textField.selectedTextRange = textField.textRangeFromPosition(textField.beginningOfDocument, toPosition: textField.endOfDocument)
textField.becomeFirstResponder()
}
}
A way to select all text without adding a delegate:
present(vc, animated: true) {
vc.textFields?.first?.selectAll(nil)
}
Thanks, @ridvankucuk. Your solution works great.
But textfield delegate function can be simplified little bit:
func textFieldDidBeginEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
textField.selectAll(nil)
}
