Table accessoryView Doesn't Work with UITextField, UITextView #69

Open shannona opened 13 years ago

shannona commented 13 years ago

The accessoryView in tables is limited to UILabels and other classes that respond meaningfully to sizeThatFits: . If you instead try to use a UIView child, such as UITextField, the accessory ends up writing right over the main label because sizeThatFits: in UIView just returns the size that it's given.

It's the layoutSubviews method in UITableViewCell that does the wrong thing.

(Under iOS, a UIView in an accessoryView instead behaves as expected.)

Are you sure the bug isn't perhaps just with UITextField's sizeThatFits: implementation? UILabel, etc. are all UIView subclasses as well.

UILabel has its own sizeThatFits: method, which is why it works. UITextField (and UITextView, which I also tested), just drop back to UIView's default method.

Whether the problem is the UIView method (return size;), that UITextField and UITextView don't have their own method, or that layoutSubviews does the wrong thing, I don't actually know--just that the behavior is different under iOS.

Ok. Likely the real problem is that UITextView/UITextField don't have a sizeThatFits: implementation. Investigation will be necessary.

When I thought about it more, that's what made the most sense to me too.
