I'm trying to select a row in a table view when a user presses the down arrow on a hardware keyboard. For now, I'm just trying to print a log, and I can't seem to get it to work. As per the other similar questions' answers, here's what I have so far:
- (NSArray *)keyCommands {
UIKeyCommand *downArrowKeyCommand = [UIKeyCommand keyCommandWithInput:UIKeyInputDownArrow
modifierFlags:0
action:@selector(hardwareKeyboardDownArrowPressed)];
return @[downArrowKeyCommand];
}
- (BOOL)canBecomeFirstResponder {
return YES;
}
- (void)hardwareKeyboardDownArrowPressed {
NSLog(@"Down arrow pressed on external keyboard");
}
All help is appreciated!
I don't know your particular mistake; it might be that you haven't added a (id)sender
to your method. I figured how to do this. I'll add my code below:
- (BOOL)canBecomeFirstResponder {
return YES;
}
- (NSArray *)keyCommands {
return @[[UIKeyCommand keyCommandWithInput:UIKeyInputDownArrow modifierFlags:0 action:@selector(moveDownOneRow:) discoverabilityTitle:@"Select row down"],
[UIKeyCommand keyCommandWithInput:UIKeyInputUpArrow modifierFlags:0 action:@selector(moveUpOneRow:) discoverabilityTitle:@"Select row up"]];
}
- (void)moveDownOneRow:(id)sender {
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForSelectedRow];
if (indexPath == nil) {
indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:0];
} else {
if ((indexPath.row + 1) < [self.tableView numberOfRowsInSection:0]) {
indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:indexPath.row+1 inSection:0];
}
}
[self.tableView selectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES scrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionMiddle];
}
- (void)moveUpOneRow:(id)sender {
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.tableViewindexPathForSelectedRow];
if (indexPath == nil) {
indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:([self.tableView numberOfRowsInSection:0]-1) inSection:0];
} else {
if ((indexPath.row - 1) >= 0) {
indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:indexPath.row-1 inSection:0];
}
}
[self.tableView selectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES scrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionMiddle];
}
