I created a custom input view for the App I'm currently working on, I can assign this keyboard to a textField by doing:
textField.inputView = myCustomKeyboard as! UIView
Now I just want to switch out all inputViews with my custom inputView, is there a simpler way to do this without having to set the inputView on all the textFields separately in my app?
[[UITextField appearance] setInputView:customeView];
or swift:
UITextField.appearance().inputView = customeView
Please create custom view and add this line into app delegate did finish launching option

in my application, I have created two targets: one is for the actual application and the other is for my custom keyboard. In my actual application, I have a UITextField, which the keyboardType = .numberPad. My issue now is that I am trying to set the keyboardType property of my UITextField with my custom keyboard. Anyway how I can do that?
Please try this :
textField.inputView = myCustomKeyboard().inputView
You can do myTextField.keyboardType = .numberPad. That will make the keyboard a number pad for that specific UITextField.
I want to replace the default keyboard of a UITextField with a custom keyboard. So I created a new subclass of a UIViewController with a xib-file (the other way like creating both files seperately and setting the File's Owner doesn't work either).
Then I added a button to the KeyboardView and connected it to an IBAction. After that I set the textfields inputView to the new view like this:
override func viewDidLoad() {
let keyboardVC = KeyboardViewController()
textField.inputView = keyboardVC.view
keyboardVC.view.autoresizingMask = .FlexibleHeight
keyboardVC.delegate = textField
}
It's working and the custom keyboard shows up, but if I touch the button, the IBAction is not called. What's the problem in my setup? (I checked some examples and they all do it the same way).
UPDATE:
I now removed the ViewController and subclassed the UIView. Now the actions are working. Why isn't it working with a ViewController?
Since no one holds the UIViewController- there is no reference to it after the viewDidLoad() ended, it is released from the memory.
When the button is pressed, the view controller that should response to the action is not exist -> you are holding only the view of the view controller as the textField.inputView.
I've created a custom subclass of UITextField which manages a custom datePicker.
I use this code :
self.flatDatePicker = [[FlatDatePicker alloc] initWithParentView:pickerContainer];
_flatDatePicker.datePickerMode = FlatDatePickerModeMonthAndYear;
[self.flatDatePicker show];
self.inputView = _flatDatePicker;
My problem
When I touch my custom text field, the picker pops but my ViewController is moved up. My question is how to remove this movement ? I don't know if it is the normal behaviour of this, but I would like a solution for that.
I am currently developing a prototype that I want to do user testing on desktop first before loading to iPad.
I am looking for solutions to disable the keyboard after clicking a textfield. That means after clicking a textfield, user is able to enter information from the macbook keyboard directly, and the virtual keyboard that automatically shows up in the simulator will not appear. I have been through a lot of tutorials but they are all dismissing the keyboard after user entry; that is not what I am looking for. How should I hide the keyboard?
Thanks so much!
Use this:
UIView *dummyView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 0, 0)];
myTextField.inputView = dummyView; // Hide keyboard, but show blinking cursor
It works for UITextField and UITextView and they need to be set to editable.
What you did Here:
You created a dummy view of width=hight=0, & assigned it as the inputView of your textField.
How It works:
Instead of showing default, keyboard, now, the viewController is showing DummyView as inputView for your UITextField. As DummyView has Width=height=0, You will not see anything on the screen :)
Here is another answer which I found the same hack but with little additional supportive code snippet to hide the blinking cursor too.
-(BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
return NO; // Hides both keyboard and blinking cursor.
}
I needed this to be done for a Quantity text field where I increase/decrease the quantity using a UIStepper view. So I needed the keyboard to be hidden always.
This will set the inputView of your textField to, basically, an empty UIView with no frame.
self.theTextField.inputView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
In my IPad Application i am using TextView only for Text Displaying.As i need to display a Larger Text Thats Why i am using UITextview due to its Scrolling Property instead of using UILabel.
In my application i do not need to edit Text in UITextview ,but problem for me is that when i click on Textview for scrolling the keyboard appear its hide my textview so i want that my keyboard is never appear on click event.i make a search but not find any Suitable solution.Any help will be appriated.Thanx
NEW ANSWER (previous one was not working properly)
OK so since that is not working because it disables scrolling also, you should try to:
Implement UITextFieldDelegate protocol
In your view controller add the text
#interface YourViewController () <UITextViewDelegate>
In viewDidLoad set yourself as a delegate:
yourUITextView.delegate = self;
Implement the delegate method below:
- (BOOL)textViewShouldBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView
{
return NO;
}
When the textview is about to edit the text, this method will be called automatically. It returns no, so the editing won't start.
It is very important that you undo the changes from the previous answers: Do not set the editable field to NO
I tried it and it's working. Hope it helps!
OLD ANSWER
when you declare the variable, or in your viewdidload method, set the editable property to NO:
yourUITextView.editable = NO;
or
[yourUITextView setEditable:NO]
That should prevent the keyboard from appearing.
Go to .XIB file and you can uncheck behavior editable or programmatically
textView.editable = NO;
