iPhone SDK - UITextField with + Button for Contacts
-

Question
In some applications like Mail, when you have a UITextField, there is a little + button to the right. When you tap it, a modal view controller comes up which you can select a phone number, address, etc from, and it will appear in the text field. I was wondering how to implement this in my own app. Thanks,

Solution
If you want the plus button inside the text field, take a look at the rightView
property of the UITextField class, which lets you put any UIView in the right-most portion of the text field. You can put a UIButton there, as created with
[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeContactAdd];
OTHER TIPS
You can do this by
txtFldObj.rightView = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeContactAdd];
txtFldObj.rightViewMode=UITextFieldViewModeAlways;
you can also refer to this trick also
You can do this by having a regular UIView that contains a UITextField and a UIButton as subviews.
E.g
-------------------------------
| UITextField | UIButton|
-------------------------------
When the button is tapped you can bring up the address book picker (or anything else) as a modal view, and when it closes update the text field as necessary.
