How to restrict UITextField to take only numbers in Swift?

Question

I want the user to only enter numeric values in a UITextField. On iPhone we can show the numeric keyboard, but on iPad the user can switch to any keyboard.

Answer 1

To allow only numbers and just one decimal operator, you can use this solution:

func textField(textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersInRange range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {
    let isNumber = NSCharacterSet.decimalDigitCharacterSet().isSupersetOfSet(NSCharacterSet(charactersInString: string))

    return isNumber || (string == NSNumberFormatter().decimalSeparator && textField.text?.containsString(string) == false)
}
