I'm making a custom keyboard so at first wanna make the one similar with real iOS keyboard.
On the iOS keyboard when I tap [123] button, the alphabet keys changes to number keys. THIS is what I want to do.
Is there any special ways for this?
self.textField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardType.NumberPad

I have texFiled I'm my view controller and i set number pad for that like this:
self.phoneTextField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad;
And now i want user just can enter english number in text field(can not change language)
(This only applies for iOS 10 or later and for number pad)
Swift
yourTextField.keyboardType = .asciiCapableNumberPad
Objective C
yourTextField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeASCIICapableNumberPad;
NO,we can't disable or Hidden the keyboard properties, it is not possible to handle the default property of Keyboardtypein iOS, if you want to make it own customization then you go for Custom Keyboard Concept. else try once with another keyboard Types
Choice 2
in that place you can add one Overlay for disable , you can get the sample from here.but
If Apple figures out that the key is covered or. disabled they will most likely reject the app.
So, Apple has a bug right now where if you type an Emoji into a UITextField, it will shift the text down. In fact, if you type enough emojis and then backspace, it'll shift the text even further down from where it was supposed to be. I confirmed this by trying UITextFields in Twitter, Snapchat and other apps.
Here is a video of my app displaying the bug.
Use this: textField.clipsToBounds = false
It prevents the textField to move when editing. Even when you try to edit it again.
(Tested on iPhone 6, iOS 10.0)
I don't think their would be a way around this, as it just seems that the emoji is changing the margin of the text inside of the UITextField.
Is there any way to programmatically detect installed keyboards and/or change the keyboard to a custom keyboard from within your app? As in, if I wanted to show a toolbar above the text keyboard with shortcut buttons to commonly-installed custom keyboards, could I a) detect the keyboard is installed, and b) change to a given keyboard on tap?
This assumes you want the list of keyboards setup in the Settings app under General, Keyboards.
You can determine the primary keyboard:
UITextInputMode *currentMode = [[UITextInputMode activeInputModes] firstObject];
You can determine the possible keyboards
NSArray *possibleModes = [UITextInputMode activeInputModes];
You can determine when the keyboard changes. This is done by listening for the UITextInputCurrentInputModeDidChangeNotification notification.
However, there is no API to change the keyboard.
So you can do everything you need except the most important part.
Just noticed that in UITextView keyboard comes without change language button, unlike in UITextField. Why Apple removed this button from UITextView keyboard? Is there any way to enable this button? I want people to be able to write notes on any keyboard language added in phone settings.
EDITED: Maybe it will help somebody in the future. Just noticed that I set keyboard type to UIKeyboardTypeAlphabet and this option eliminates language button. Closing this question.
P.S. I have 3 languages enabled in test iPhone.
You are completely wrong. there is no difference in UIKeyboard in iOS whatsoever. It only depends on what keyboard types you use.
UIKeyboardTypeDefault and UIKeyboardTypeEmailAddress and UIKeyboardTypeTwitter all have those.
You set it like this:
txtField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeTwitter;
UIKeyboardTypeDefault is obviously the default one for any UITextView or UITextField in iOS.
For anyone have this problem even when using UIKeyboardTypeDefault on a UITextView, go into the storyboard and make sure "Secure Text Entry" is unchecked. After unchecking this, the keyboard selector will return as well as the quick type keyboard.
Basically I am new to iOS development. I have several text boxes where I want a user to enter a percentage (not letters) so I will only need a numeric keyboard. When the user has done this I also want them to easily get rid of the keyboard.
In the simplest way possible, just treat me like a drunken 5-year-old here, can someone guide me through the steps needed to do this?
Assuming an UITextField:
textField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad;
