Become first responder without animation

Question

Is there a way for a UITextField to become first responder without the animation of the keyboard? That is, make it such that the keyboard just appears?

Answer 1

Just set it as the first responder in -viewDidAppear to make the user never notice the field having lost its status.

-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    if ([self isViewLoaded] && self.textField)
        [self.textField becomeFirstResponder];
        [super viewWillAppear:animated];
}

I've put a short sample project up on dropbox using this code, if you'd like it.
