It is possible to trigger the emoji keyboard programmatically?
I am trying to open the emoji keyboard when the user clicks a button, it is possible?
Emoji is also considered a language keyboard, As of now Apple does not provide any public API to programmatically switch to another input method.
However there may be a workaround, This question might help:
Change the iOS keyboard layout to emoji?

I am building keyboard app, and I am wondering if there is a possibility to open my custom keyboard when user pressing on textField within my app. Keyboard is built using storyboard.
I know that I can force textField to open number Pad, Phone pad and other Apple's keyboard options but can I open my own keyboard without going to settings and adding my 3rd party keyboard.
Thanks in advance.
No, it's not possible, You have to add keyboard once from settings and then automatically your keyboard will pop up.
if you really want your own keyboard without adding settings then you need to develop your own custom inputView.
Additional notes I have just go through better approach which might be helpful for you check here and about your second question to detect keyboard please visit here
Note: Apple will not allow you to forcefully active your own keyboard at anycast because of its policy violation.
I have two keyboard,1 is Default keyboard and 1more is thirdparty keyboard. i want to ask that . how to change keyboard when i click on some textview.?
Thankyou
Not possible programmatically. only user can switch between keyboard by using “next keyboard key"
When more than one keyboard is enabled, the system keyboard includes a
Globe key that lets the user switch keyboards. Your custom keyboard
may require a similar “next keyboard” key.
Custom keyboard
Guideline
I'm making a custom keyboard and I want to transition directly to emoji keyboard that is provided by Apple when nextKeyboard button is pressed.
#IBAction func nextKeyboardPressed(sender: AnyObject) {
advanceToNextInputMode()
}
This code takes me to the stock keyboard.
And I want this keyboard to open when nextKeyboard is pressed
Is it possible? Is there a way to access stack of installed keyboards?
No, you can't. It has been quite limited that the custom keyboard extension to access the external data for some reasons (Especially for security). There is no way to know active keyboards nor change to particuller keyboard.
You can't, in the section Providing a Way to Switch to Another Keyboard of this document, Apple says:
To ask the system to switch to another keyboard, call the
advanceToNextInputMode method of the UIInputViewController class. The
system picks the appropriate “next” keyboard; there is no API to
obtain a list of enabled keyboards or for picking a particular
keyboard to switch to.
However, you could modify your Keyboard to contain an Emoji section as well.
I am building a project for iOS8 in swift. The default and dark options for keyboard in xcode do not go with the color theme for my app design.
Is there a simple way for to change the colors in the keybaord?
The short answer is no you can't change the look and feel of the system keyboard. Even if you did many people don't even use the default keyboards.
With iOS 8 apple introduced custom keyboard extension.
A custom keyboard replaces the system keyboard for users who want
capabilities such as a novel text input method or the ability to enter
text in a language not otherwise supported in iOS. The essential
function of a custom keyboard is simple: Respond to taps, gestures, or
other input events and provide text, in the form of an unattributed
NSString object, at the text insertion point of the current text input
object.
And here's some useful tutorials about how to create custom keyboard :

I am making app with default spanish language. In email form I want show english keyboard. Is it possible to do it?
Unfortunately, you cannot control the language of the keyboard. The user chooses which keyboards they would like available via the settings application and can toggle between them using the globe icon on the keyboard. When the keyboard is opened it will open to the most recently used keyboard.check this like http://iphone.appstorm.net/how-to/change-your-keyboard-or-display-language-in-ios/
You can make a customize keyboard. take a UIView add UIButton and add what you want to all in this view.
