Leaving inputAccessoryView visible after keyboard is dismissed

Question

What I\'m trying to do is to create something similar to the \"find on page\" search function in Safari on iPad.

I\'m using a UIToolbar with some items

Answer 1

Adding to @arik's answer, here is the Swift version:

class ViewController: UIViewController {

  @IBOutlet var textField: UITextField!      

  // Input Accessory View
  private var inputAccessoryToolbar: UIToolBar?
  override func canBecomeFirstResponder() -> Bool {
    return true
  }
  override var inputAccessoryView: UIView? {
    return inputAccessoryToolbar
  }

  override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    inputAccessoryToolbar = UIToolbar(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, view.frame.size.width, 50))
    textField.inputAccessoryView = inputAccessoryToolbar
  }

  // UITextFieldDelegate
  func textFieldShouldReturn(textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
    becomeFirstResponder()
    return true
  }
}

Thanks for the clean solution!
