Save UITextView content in NSString.

Question

Hi, I'm trying to save the contents of an UITextView into a NSString which I will somehow persist later.

The problem is that the UITextView "text" property doesn't save all the rows in the textView (after touching "return"). I tried print the TextView object and the textView.text, and they're different.

Does anybody know how (after editing the textView) I can save its content into a String (or something else that I can later access and share through different views and persist in the database)?

Thanks a lot. Pretty sure it is simple, but I'm honestly not finding the solution.

Answer 1

NSString *textViewString = myTextView.text

ought to be what you need. But you say that the TextView object and its text property have different values? Has your delegate received – textViewDidEndEditing: or – textViewDidChange: yet?

Answer 2

I found what I needed. Thanks for the answer cdespinosa anyway.

I leave the url here, maybe it helps others...
