Not working on my app.

[kennethjohnbalgos]

I'm studying iOS programming and I am implementing MLPAutoCompleteTextField to my simple app. I followed instructions and also referred to the sample project. But when I build & run my project, it is successfully compiled but the suggestions are not displayed. Here's how it looks:http://d.pr/i/Uv3D

AddQuoteViewController.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "MLPAutoCompleteTextFieldDataSource.h"
#import "MLPAutoCompleteTextFieldDelegate.h"

@class MLPAutoCompleteTextField;
@interface AddQuoteViewController : UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate, MLPAutoCompleteTextFieldDataSource, MLPAutoCompleteTextFieldDelegate>

@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet MLPAutoCompleteTextField *authorTextField;
- (IBAction)saveQuoteButton:(id)sender;
@end

AddQuoteViewController.m

#import "AddQuoteViewController.h"
#import "MLPAutoCompleteTextField.h"
#import "AuthorAutoSuggestTableViewCell.h"
#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>

@implementation AddQuoteViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyboardDidShowWithNotification:) name:UIKeyboardDidShowNotification object:nil];
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyboardDidHideWithNotification:) name:UIKeyboardDidHideNotification object:nil];

    [self.authorTextField setBorderStyle:UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect];
}

- (void)keyboardDidShowWithNotification:(NSNotification *)aNotification {
    [self.author setAlpha:0];
}

- (void)keyboardDidHideWithNotification:(NSNotification *)aNotification {
    [self.author setAlpha:1];
    [self.authorTextField setAutoCompleteTableViewHidden:NO];
}

- (NSArray *)possibleAutoCompleteSuggestionsForString:(NSString *)string {
    NSArray *sample = @[@"Ape", @"Bird", @"Cat", @"Dog"];
    return sample;
}

- (BOOL)autoCompleteTextField:(MLPAutoCompleteTextField *)textField
          shouldConfigureCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell
       withAutoCompleteString:(NSString *)autocompleteString
         withAttributedString:(NSAttributedString *)boldedString
            forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
{
    return YES;
}

Did you verify the autoCompleteDataSource property of the textfield is set to your AddQuoteViewController?

[kennethjohnbalgos]

Yes, take a look:

[EddyBorja]

Is your project available somewhere? It'd be easier to diagnose the problem.

[kennethjohnbalgos]

You can see the Author Field at "Get Started" > "Quotebook (Tab Bar)" > "Add Button (Navigation Bar)" I'm using cocoapods for this project. Thanks!

Aside from assigning the delegates from storyboard, I also written codes to assign it manually:

[self.authorTextField setDelegate:self];
[self.authorTextField setAutoCompleteDataSource:self];
[self.authorTextField setAutoCompleteDelegate:self];

[EddyBorja]

Thanks, I'll take a look when I get home.

[kennethjohnbalgos]

Thank you, I hope we can fix this :)

[EddyBorja]

I have been having some issues with getting your project to compile, "ld: library not found for -lPods"

Not sure why

[kennethjohnbalgos]

Have you initialized and updated the submodules? Have you successfully installed the content of Podfile? Are you working with the iQuotebook.xcworkspace file?

[kennethjohnbalgos]

I managed to run the app using the following commands:

git submodule init
git submodule update
pod install
open iQuotebook.xcworkspace
*** Change the build settings to "iQuotebook > iPhone 6.1 Simulator"
*** Build and Run the project

I tried it and it's working.

[EddyBorja]

Hmm, for some reason I don't have the workspace file, I was looking for it earlier but assumed it wasn't set up that way. I also can't seem to do pod install because it doesn't find the MLPAutoCompleteTextField pod

[kennethjohnbalgos]

I'm not sure what's happening, I was able to run the app when I tried to clone it. I pushed the workspace file, I'm not sure if that will help. Please update me.

[EddyBorja]

I finally got the project to build, the command was actually pod update not pod install. I'm going to investigate the issue now.

[kennethjohnbalgos]

Great! Thanks :)

[EddyBorja]

Ok, I found the issue, I'll be pushing a bug fix soon.

[EddyBorja]

I pushed out version 1.1 with the bugfix, check it out and see if it solves your problem now.

[kennethjohnbalgos]

Cool :) It's working now. Thanks for the best support.

[EddyBorja]

No problem, thanks for reporting this issue.
