In Swift 3, I need to determine if the user is touching outside of a UITextField, and then check that the specific UITextField is the sender, and then save the text. I tried to do this using the Notification Center. I found examples in Swift 2, but I try to implement the correct syntax for Swift 3.
let notificationName = Notification.Name("UITextFieldTextDidChange")
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.textFieldDidChange), name: notificationName, object: nil)
NotificationCenter.default.post(name: notificationName, object: nil)
func textFieldDidChange(sender: AnyObject) {
if let notification = sender as? NSNotification,
let textFieldChanged = notification.object as? UITextField
where textFieldChanged == self.myTextField {
storedText = myTextField.text!
}
}
UPDATE
I found a slightly different way to do this, which works for me:
myTextField.addTarget(self, action: #selector(didChangeText(textField:)), for: .editingChanged)
func didChangeText(textField: UITextField) {
if let textInField = myTextField.text {
myTextField.text = textInField
storedText = myTextField.text!
}
}
