I want to create a simple checkbox with 2 values and save this, how can I make that?

Thanks.


Yeah, no checkbox for you in iOS (-:

Here, this is what I did to create a checkbox:

UIButton *checkbox;
BOOL checkBoxSelected;
checkbox = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(x,y,20,20)];
// 20x20 is the size of the checkbox that you want
// create 2 images sizes 20x20 , one empty square and
// another of the same square with the checkmark in it
// Create 2 UIImages with these new images, then:

[checkbox setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"notselectedcheckbox.png"]
                    forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[checkbox setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"selectedcheckbox.png"]
                    forState:UIControlStateSelected];
[checkbox setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"selectedcheckbox.png"]
                    forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
checkbox.adjustsImageWhenHighlighted=YES;
[checkbox addTarget:(nullable id) action:(nonnull SEL) forControlEvents:(UIControlEvents)];
[self.view addSubview:checkbox];

Now in the target method do the following:

-(void)checkboxSelected:(id)sender
{
    checkBoxSelected = !checkBoxSelected; /* Toggle */
    [checkbox setSelected:checkBoxSelected];
}

That's it!


On iOS there is the switch UI component instead of a checkbox, look into the UISwitch class. The property on (boolean) can be used to determine the state of the slider and about the saving of its state: That depends on how you save your other stuff already, its just saving a boolean value.
