TextField used in iOS messaging app

Question

I want the text box to look like an iPhone stock exchange app. The text field must be the same and expand to allow multi-line editing. Could you suggest a method to get this in my application?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Use a UITextField.

To get the height of the text field, use -sizeWithFont:constrainedToSize:lineBreakMode:

So that the appearance of the Apple text box places the image behind a text box that looks like an Apple text box. See -resizableImageWithCapInsets: for the image to be properly stretched.

Answer 2

Look at this:

UIBubbleTableView

EDIT:

The previous connection was meant to be viewed in bubble style. If you want to see where you actually enter the message, this is one thing:

HPGrowingTextView

Answer 3

For other people who are looking for libraries but mentioned here with many errors

Here is the library:

SlackTextViewController

UIViewController podcast with advanced text input view and other useful messaging features. It is supposed to replace UITableViewController and UICollectionViewController .
