Figure 5-21. Text views (left) let you display and edit multiline text, as shown here in the Notes field of the Contacts app. Text fields (right) are suited to editing shorter snippets. Here, the Shopper app uses text fields to accept quantity and price info.

Editing Text

So why bother with text views at all when you can have the fancy web view option? Easy: You can make text views editable, but not web views (at least not without spinning lots of your own custom code). When you want to allow people to edit multiple lines of text, give them a text view with its edit switch turned on. Tap an editable text view, and a keyboard automatically slides up from screen bottom to take your input. In practice, this is most useful for brief notes, like the Notes field of the Contacts app, where formatting is rarely needed but editing most definitely is.
