I am creating a keyboard extension for ios
I just want an scroll strip at the upper part of the keyboard which would be some say some emojis.
But i want the native keyboard functioning as usual , jut a view on top of keboardview.
Do i need to implement the whole native keyboard ?
What the easy way to achieve this.
Please guide
Thank you
You can use inputAccessoryView
Please refer
What you want simply can't be done in the current version of iOS (9.2). If you want to add functionality to the keyboard on a systemwide basis, you have to implement it all yourself, including the keyboard.

I'm trying to set up a comment page in my app and I want to have the comment input field sitting right on top of the keyboard like Facebook, Instagram, Strava and many other apps have. But when the keyboard comes in it has suggestions on the top like so:
I want to disable the suggestions above the keyboard here so that I can put my textinput on top of the keyboard. Is this possible in React-Native?
React-Native: 0.44.0
So after a some more digging I found that if you set the autoCorrect prop on the TextInput itself to false, it removes the suggestions above the keyboard. No need to go into the native code to try and fix this.
ie: <TextInput autoCorrect={false}/>
For ios, accepted answer will work fine but i just wanted to add for the android.
So for android, to hide the suggestions, use keyboardType='visible-password' for the textInput where you want to hide the suggestions.
I think for Android:
autoCorrect={false}
For iOS, two properties need to disable suggestion bar:
autoCorrect={false} and spellCheck={false}.
If ReactNative exposes the autocorrectionType property on UITextField, you could set it to UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo.
I think that for iOS you looked for spellCheck={false}

This is an option that is enabled or disabled by the user, it would not be wise to place content here if it is critical for it to be shown (unless you are happy for the user to potentially need to scroll) for that reason.
There are some useful utilities available through react native that allow you to control the keyboard in other ways though, such as...
https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/keyboard.html
https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/keyboardavoidingview.html
there are also various other npm packages that are worth taking a look at too.
In an iOS application, is it possible to make own keyboard suggestions if the user taps a specific UITextField? The suggestion should only appear if the UITextField is empty.
By keyboard recommendations I mean the Predictive Keyboard:
Swift code is preferred.
Thanks!
I don't think you can provide suggestions to the actual keyboard so they get presented, but what you can do is write your own inputAccessoryView to be there instead, and handle the tapping/appending of text yourself, and possibly disable the completion from the keyboard. This is essentially what the messaging apps do to present a bar with buttons to add photos and attachments when writing.
Since you don't mention what you're trying to accomplish I don't know if this would make sense. Let me know if you want me to elaborate on how to do this in code.
I have created custom keyboard and custom system keyboard.Both are working But I need to implement UIPageControl in my custom keyboard part. If I choose the custom keyboard.(Using UIView) it is very hard to implement.
I need a solution for following areas.
My first issue is :
Custom keyboard is working with the app only. Once I install, if I exit my app , go other app developed my Custom system keyboard will show. Is there any way to configure within my app only.
I found some ideas from this link. Please suggest any idea.
The second issue is:
I have to implement the pagination
Without pagination, it is working.
It would be helpful if you provide any help.
If you want the keyboard to be app only you should be creating a custom keyboard via UIView only.
With regards to pagination in a UIView, couldn't you simply put a UIScrollView into the UIView and recreate horizontal pagination?
Can I develop keyboard extension for my app (only). Keyboard extension must work only in app not in all system.
I know about apple guide:
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Make sure a custom, systemwide keyboard is indeed what you want to
develop. To provide a fully custom keyboard for just your app or to
supplement the system keyboard with custom keys in just your app, the
iOS SDK provides other, better options. Read about custom input views
and input accessory views in Custom Views for Data Input in Text
Programming Guide for iOS.
This methods offer only supplement the standard keyboards. I want fully customization keyboard in my app.
You don't want to create a keyboard extension, since it will be replace your keyboard in every application.
UITextView and UITextField have both inputView and inputAccessoryView properties.
inputAccessoryView is a view that appears on top of the keyboard, while inputView replaces the keyboard with the view you provide for the current editing field.
You can create your keyboard in a xib and instantiate it in the inputView property of your textField.

Why your question is iOS 8 Custom Keyboard for native app? you ask a different thing in your post…
I'm trying to create my own keyboard for iPhone and trying to replace the default one.
There are a lot of custom keyboards in Cydia that replaces default one
so it is definately possible.
my question is
How can I create the keyboard
this would not use iOS APIs
is there any sample sources or other things that I can look around?
There is no way you could change default keyboard. and If you anyhow modify it(using private methods) apple will reject your app because it is against apple guidelines.
So the only solution to your problem is create a custom keyboard and then use it. There are few custom keyboards you can use them also :
custom-ios-keyboards

Hope it helps you.
