I am using a UIDatePicker as UITextField's inputView (inside a UITableViewCell):
@IBOutlet weak var theTextField: UITextField!
func textFieldDidBeginEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
let picker = UIDatePicker()
picker.setValue(Colors.CI2, forKeyPath: "textColor")
picker.datePickerMode = .date
textField.inputView = picker
textField.inputView?.backgroundColor = Colors.CI1 // my desired color
picker.addTarget(self, action: #selector(datePickerValueChanged), for: .valueChanged)
}
The problem: The color does only change, once the picker is called a second time.
I guess, that this issue occurs because the inputView is optional and only once the picker is called a second time, the inputView is instantiated at the moment where I want to change the color.
I have tried to subclass UITextField and observe inputView.
class DateTextField: UITextField {
override var inputView: UIView? {
didSet {
self.inputView?.backgroundColor = Colors.CI1
self.reloadInputViews()
}
}
}
Unfortunately without success. Same behavior. What am I missing? Help is very appreciated.
