inputaccessoryview not showing (StoryBoard) - ios

Question

I have been trying to incorporate a UIView/Toolbar above my keyboard but have had no luck. When I added a toolbar it was scrambled so thus I need to put it into a UIView but the UIView does not want to appear above the keyboard. Code Below:
My Header:
#property (nonatomic, Strong) IBOutlet UITextView *textView;
#property (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UIToolbar *TitleBar;
#property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet UIView *AddView;
The ViewDidLoad:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
// observe keyboard hide and show notifications to resize the text view appropriately
/*[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(keyboardWillShow:)
name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification
object:nil];
*/
if ([self respondsToSelector:#selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)]) {
// iOS 7
[self performSelector:#selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)];
} else {
// iOS 6
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationSlide];
}
self.attributionTitle.delegate = self;
self.attribution.delegate = self;
textView.scrollEnabled = YES;
// quoteText.layer.borderColor = [UIColor blackColor].CGColor;
// quoteText.layer.borderWidth = 1.0f;
// textView.delegate = self; // code or in IB
[textView becomeFirstResponder];
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}
The textViewDidBeginEditing:
-(void)textViewDidBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView
{
self.textView.inputAccessoryView = self.AddView;
}
Here is to show the UIView is connected:

Answer 1

I added the textView.inputAccessoryView = AddView;to the ViewDidLoadthen deleted the view from my storyboard and remade it. Lastly I added the UIView to the bottom black bar.

Answer 2

Adding the inputAccessoryView in textViewDidBeginEditing is probably too late. The input accessory view should be set before that, e.g., in the viewDidLoad method.
Try something like:
-(void)viewDidLoad{
[super viewDidLoad];
UIView
myTextField.inputAccessoryView = [self accessoryViewWithPreviousEnabled:NO nextEnabled:YES];
// more stuff as required...
}
And a method for creating a previous/next button (you'll need to provide your own images for the buttons and implements the previousAccessoryViewButtonTapped: and previousAccessoryViewButtonTapped: methods). It takes two BOOL parameters to indicate if the previous and/or next buttons should be enabled.
#pragma mark - Accessory view methods
-(UIView *)accessoryViewWithPreviousEnabled:(BOOL)previousEnabled nextEnabled:(BOOL)nextEnabled{
previousButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
previousButton.frame = CGRectMake(10, 2, 60, 30);
[previousButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:PREVIOUS_BUTTON] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
previousButton.enabled = previousEnabled;
[previousButton addTarget:self action:#selector(previousAccessoryViewButtonTapped:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
nextButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
nextButton.frame = CGRectMake(80, 2, 60, 30);
[nextButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:NEXT_BUTTON] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
nextButton.enabled = nextEnabled;
[nextButton addTarget:self action:#selector(nextAccessoryViewButtonTapped:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIView *transparentBlackView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 1024, 34)];
transparentBlackView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.f green:0.f blue:0.f alpha:0.6f];
UIView *accessoryView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 1024, 34)];
[accessoryView addSubview:transparentBlackView];
[accessoryView addSubview:previousButton];
[accessoryView addSubview:nextButton];
return accessoryView;
}
Note this method is hard coded for an iPad in landscape orientation. You need to change it for an iPhone.

Answer 3

The problem is that your self.AddView is already in your interface (because you put it there, in the storyboard). It can't be in two places at once.
