For those looking for Swift version:

Connect your toolbar (in my case 'myToolBar') on to your view controller. Then override canBecomeFirstResponder method and override the getter inputAccessoryView variable. Also don't forget to add the self.myToolBar.removeFromSuperview() or else xcode will complain.

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet var myToolBar: UIToolbar!

    override func canBecomeFirstResponder() -> Bool {
        return true
    }


    override var inputAccessoryView:UIView{
        get{
            return self.myToolBar
        }
    }

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        self.myToolBar.removeFromSuperview()
    }
}
