Updated for Swift 3.0

lazy var inputToolbar: UIToolbar = {
    var toolbar = UIToolbar()
    toolbar.barStyle = .default
    toolbar.isTranslucent = true
    toolbar.sizeToFit()

    var doneButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Done", style: .plain, target: self, action: #selector(ContactViewController.inputToolbarDonePressed))
    var flexibleSpaceButton = UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: .flexibleSpace, target: nil, action: nil)
    var fixedSpaceButton = UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: .fixedSpace, target: nil, action: nil)

    var nextButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Next", style: .plain, target: self, action: #selector(ContactViewController.keyboardNextButton))
    var previousButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Previous", style: .plain, target: self, action: #selector(ContactViewController.keyboardPreviousButton))

    toolbar.setItems([fixedSpaceButton, previousButton, fixedSpaceButton, nextButton, flexibleSpaceButton, doneButton], animated: false)
    toolbar.isUserInteractionEnabled = true

    return toolbar
}()

And then:

func textFieldShouldBeginEditing(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
    textField.inputAccessoryView = inputToolbar
    return true
}

Remember to change thange "ContactViewController" to the name of your View Controller.
