IF I wanted a picker, for states/provinces, i haven't seen an example, but I mocked up shown above, a picker for US/Can/Mex. wondering can you dynamically switch the NSMutableArray for the UIPickerView and then have it somehow reload each time you click on US/Can/Mex buttons??? How do I go about doing this. What approach do I take. Looking for someone to point a beginner for a clue in the right direction.
You will have to implement the datasource and the delegate.
once you press a button, set an array pointer to the appropriate array.
than call [thePicker reloadAllComponents];
-(IBAction) usButtonPressed:(id)sender{
self.inputArray = self.usArray;
[self.thePicker reloadAllComponents];
}
-(IBAction) mexicoButtonPressed:(id)sender{
self.inputArray = self.mexicoArray;
[self.thePicker reloadAllComponents];
}
the datasource methods:
- (NSInteger)numberOfComponentsInPickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView
{
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView numberOfRowsInComponent:(NSInteger)component
{
return [self.inputArray count];
}
the delegate methods:
- (NSString *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView titleForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component
{
return [self.inputArray objectAtIndex:row];
}
