Disable/enable UIBarButtonItem base on UITextView content swift










0















I'm trying to grey out a UIBarButtonItem when the TextView is empty, and enable it when the TextView isn't empty.



class ViewController: UIViewController {
@IBOutlet weak var text: UITextView!

override func viewDidLoad()
super.viewDidLoad()


let newButton = UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: .compose, target: self, action: nil)
toolbarItems = [newButton]
navigationController?.isToolbarHidden = false




I have heard suggestion about implementing an observer or implementing a TextView delegate method. Can someone please provide a concrete example.



Thank you so much.

          Please try my code.



          I used it for my project.



          func textChanged(sender: NSNotification) 
          if emailTextField.hasText && passwordTextField.hasText
          loginButton.isEnabled = true
          loginButton.backgroundColor = UIColor(r: 139, g: 0, b: 139)
          else
          loginButton.backgroundColor = UIColor(r: 139, g: 77, b: 139)
          loginButton.isEnabled = false




          and add this to viewDidload:



          NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self,selector: #selector(textChanged),name:NSNotification.Name.UITextFieldTextDidChange,object: nil)
          loginButton.isEnabled = false

          • Excellent solution! Well done... But use the viewWillAppear method instead of viewDidLoad. It's more sensitive than the viewDidLoad
