Question
There is no "Done" button on the .numberPad
Keyboard Type. When a user
finishes entering numeric information in a text field, how can I make the
number pad disappear?
I could get a "Done" button by using the default keyboard, but then users would have to switch to the numeric keys in order to input numbers. Is there a way to show a "Done" button on the number pad?
Answer
Another solution. Perfect if there are other non-number pad text fields on the screen.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UIToolbar* numberToolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 50)];
numberToolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent;
numberToolbar.items = @[[[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:@"Cancel" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:@selector(cancelNumberPad)],
[[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:nil action:nil],
[[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:@"Apply" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:@selector(doneWithNumberPad)]];
[numberToolbar sizeToFit];
numberTextField.inputAccessoryView = numberToolbar;
}
-(void)cancelNumberPad{
[numberTextField resignFirstResponder];
numberTextField.text = @"";
}
-(void)doneWithNumberPad{
NSString *numberFromTheKeyboard = numberTextField.text;
[numberTextField resignFirstResponder];
}
