How can I make my table cell UITextField editable when the table has entered 'edit' mode?

Question

I have a simple table view which is editable. All I need the user to be able to do is edit the text field in the cell when they choose to edit the table.

Answer 1

You need to subclass UITableViewCell to make it editable inline. The default implementation just contains UILabels, which are not editable. For example, if you had a UITextField view in your cell, you'd override - (void)setEditing:(BOOL)editing animated:(BOOL)animated and make the text field become the first responder.

Here's a project you may want to look at: InAppSettings (http://bit.ly/6BegQa). You can see first hand from the src how to make table cells editable for various types of data.
