Is UITextView empty?

Hi,

To know if an UITextView is empty I used the following code:

if ( [ [textField text] isEqualToString:@""] )

But unfortunately it somehow fails to tell if the text field is empty.

What are the other ways?

When [textField text] is empty, it equals to nil.

Thank you.

From stackoverflow

• Perhaps try [[textField text] length] == 0?

  Ilya : Thank you, this works for me.

  Chris Lundie : This works even if [textField text] is nil, since in Objective-C you always get 0 returned from a nil object.

• [textField hasText]
  

  See reference.

  Ilya : What you are pointing me to is UITextView. And UITextField doesn't have this method. Unfortunately.

  Koraktor : I already wondered why you named your variable textField while referencing to UITextView in the question title.
