UIPickerView for each text field with different arrays (Swift/Firebase)

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I am trying to create a form in which each text field has a UIPickerView which the user can use to select the option needed. I need a to use a different array of information for each text field but I can't seem to get it to work and I have been stuck on it for quite a while now.

I have had a method which was possibly working but I couldn't then retrieve the data from the text field for Firebase due to each field having the same name.

Here is my code so far, this is the latest method that I have tried that doesn't work:

import UIKit
import Firebase
import FirebaseDatabase

class CreatePostViewController: UIViewController, UIPickerViewDataSource, UIPickerViewDelegate, UITextFieldDelegate {

@IBOutlet weak var gameTextField: UITextField!
@IBOutlet weak var activityTextField: UITextField!
@IBOutlet weak var consoleTextField: UITextField!
@IBOutlet weak var skillTextField: UITextField!
@IBOutlet weak var communicationTextField: UITextField!
@IBOutlet weak var lfglfmTextField: UITextField!
@IBOutlet weak var rulesTextView: UITextView!
@IBOutlet weak var descriptionTextView: UITextView!

var games = ["Assassin's Creed Origins", "Battlefield 1", "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare", "Call of Duty: Black Ops III", "Call of Duty: Ghosts", "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare", "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered", "Call of Duty: WWII", "Destiny", "Destiny 2", "Fifa 16", "Fifa 17", "Fifa 18", "Rocket League"]
var console = ["Xbox One", "Xbox 360", "Playstation 4", "Playstation 3"]
var skill = ["Achiever", "Explorer", "Killer", "Socializer"]
var communication = ["Mic", "No Mic"]
var lfglfm = ["LFG", "LFM"]

var itemSelected = ""

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.

    //remove margin / padding from textview
    self.rulesTextView.textContainerInset = .zero
    self.rulesTextView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, -5, 0, 0)
//        self.descriptionTextView.textContainerInset = .zero
//        self.descriptionTextView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, -5, 0, 0)

    //allow tap on screen to remove text field input from screen
    self.view.addGestureRecognizer(UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self.view, action: #selector(UIView.endEditing(_:))))

    //UIPICKER
    let pickerView = UIPickerView()
    pickerView.delegate = 
                                                

                                                                                                        REPLY
                                                    
                                                
                                                


                                                    

                                                        
                                                            1
                                                            views 

                                                            0
                                                                likes 
                                                            
                                                            

                                                            0
                                                            shares
