iOS hide default keyboard and open custom keyboard

Question

I have an UITextview, when user taps on UITextview i need to hide the default keyboard. For that i have done,

 [myTextView setEditable: NO];

So the keyboard is not shown, here i have created an Custom View with UIButton, i need to show this UIView when the user taps on UITextView, for that i have done,

textViewDidBeginEditing{

//Here i have added UIView as subview 

}

But this method is not working because of,

[myTextView setEditable: NO];

and i need to close the UIView when user clicks the close button inside the UIView

Answer 1

You should be using resignFirstResponder instead of setting the UITextView to not editable. This will hide the system keyboard.

 [myTextView resignFirstResponder];

If you want to use a different view for the keyboard then the system provided one then set inputView on the UITextView to the custom view you want to be used in place of the system keyboard.

myTextView.inputView = myCustomView;

Answer 2

Perhaps using textFieldShouldBeginEditing instead of setEditable: NO works?

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
   //Here i have added UIView as subview 
   return NO;
}
