VKAfterTimeTextField

Description

Did you ever need to know when some of your UITextFields was edited last time? Or maybe you did need to now when user did end edit it? If yes then this control is made directly for you!
VKAfterTimeTextField is a sub-class of UITextField which allows you to know when user edited it last time during current use session. Also it allows to notify after specific time interval when user ends editing. This is gives you a some kind of 'setContinouos:false' feature like UISlider has.

Installation

For now you can install VKAfterTimeTextField manually only. This control is available for both Objective-C and Swift projects.

1. Navigate to "Objective-C" or "Swift" directory and copy VKAfterTimeTextField class into your project.

2. Add UITextField in your storyboard and subclass it as VKAfterTimeTextField or Create it manually from code like a typical UITextField.

Example project

Repo contains two example projects: Objective-C and Swfit. Example projects are showing how you can use VKAfterTimeTextField with

Usage

Editing Did End notification

The main feature of this control is getting know when user ends editing. Feature mechanism is base on protocol named 'VKAfterTimeTextFieldDelegate'. See how setup it and use in the code below:

Swift

@IBOutlet weak var afterTimeTextField: VKAfterTimeTextField!
    
override func viewDidLoad()
{
	super.viewDidLoad()
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    
    // Set VKAfterTimeTextFieldDelegate delegate    
	self.afterTimeTextField.afterTimeDelegate = self
        
    // Set time interval when notification should fire
	self.afterTimeTextField.notificationInterval = 1
}

// MARK: - VKAfterTimeTextFieldDelegate

func afterTimeTextFieldDidEndEditing(textField: VKAfterTimeTextField, afterTimeInterval timeInterval: NSTimeInterval)
{
	print("Text Field did end editing. Notification interval: \(timeInterval)")
}

Objective-C

@property (nonatomic, strong) id <UITextFieldDelegate> textFieldDelegate;
    
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    
    // Set VKAfterTimeTextFieldDelegate delegate    
	self.afterTimeTextField.afterTimeDelegate = self;
        
    // Set time interval when notification should fire
	self.afterTimeTextField.notificationInterval = 1;
}

#pragma mark - VKAfterTimeTextFieldDelegate

-(void)afterTimeTextField:(VKAfterTimeTextField *)textField didEndEditing:(NSTimeInterval)timeInterval
{
    NSLog(@"Text Field did end edit. Notification interval: %i", (int)timeInterval);
}

Last time edit

There is two ways to check when VKAfterTimeTextField was last edited. You can get seconds and 'NSDate' date time object.

Swift

let seconds = self.afterTimeTextField.getEditSecondsAgo()
let date 	= self.afterTimeTextField.getEditDateTime()

Objective-C

NSTimeInterval seconds 	= [self.afterTimeTextField getEditSecondsAgo]
NSDate *date 			= [self.afterTimeTextField getEditDateTime];
