UITextFields within UITableView not using becomeFirstResponder

Hey All,

so I have a table, each section has 2 cells with a text field in each. I create the cells like so:

Code:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Fuel Surcharge Cell";
    
    FuelSurchargeCell *cell = [self.fuelSurchargeTableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[FuelSurchargeCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    }
    
    // configure cell
    NSMutableDictionary *currentDictionary = [self.fuelSurchargeArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.section];
    NSMutableArray *descriptions = [currentDictionary objectForKey:@"descriptions"];
    NSMutableArray *surcharges = [currentDictionary objectForKey:@"surcharges"];
    
    cell.descriptionLabel.text = [descriptions objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    if ([surcharges objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]) {
        cell.inputField.text = [surcharges objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

        NSInteger tag = indexPath.section;
        if (indexPath.row == 0) {
            tag *= 2;
        } else {
            tag *= 2;
            tag++;
        }

        cell.inputField.tag = tag;
        cell.inputField.delegate = self;
        cell.inputField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyNext;
        [self.fscTextFields addObject:cell.inputField];
    }
    
    return cell;
}

I would like it so when the user is done entering values, they can hit next and have the focus shift to the next cell. From searching Google, I came up with this:

Code:

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField
{
    FuelSurchargeCell *currentCell = (FuelSurchargeCell *)textField.superview.superview;
    NSIndexPath *currentIndexPath = [self.fuelSurchargeTableView indexPathForCell:currentCell];
    NSIndexPath *nextIndexPath;
    if (currentIndexPath.row == 0) {
        nextIndexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:1 inSection:currentIndexPath.section];
    } else {
        nextIndexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:(currentIndexPath.section + 1)];
    }
                
    [self.fuelSurchargeTableView scrollToRowAtIndexPath:nextIndexPath atScrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionMiddle animated:YES]; 
        
    return [[self.fuelSurchargeTableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:nextIndexPath] becomeFirstResponder];
}

However, it never works! It always returns no. I've got the array of text fields, and I tried using that to set the next object in the array (based on the tags) to becomeFirstResponder. Still no dice.

Any ideas?

 

I switched the return to:

Code:

return [[(FuelSurchargeCell *)[self.fuelSurchargeTableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:nextIndexPath] inputField]  becomeFirstResponder];

But still, the focus stays in the current textfield instead of moving to the next. I'll try what RonC said and report back later.
