Which UIKeyboardType can I use on the iPad

Question

I have a a textField object in my iPad app. I would like to give the user a convenient keyboard for entering numbers. In my code I added:

UITextField *textFi         


        

Answer 1

I tested which keyboard types are available for iPad/iPhone using the Simulator after receiving the warning

"Can't find keyplane that supports type 8 for keyboard Wildcat-Landscape-QWERTY-Pad; using 2592645918_Wildcat-Alphabetic-Keyboard_Capital-Letters"

on the iPad for the UIKeyboardTypeDecimalPad. Hopefully this is useful for the next person that stumbles here.

iPad:

• UIKeyboardTypeASCIICapable
• UIKeyboardTypeNumbersAndPunctuation
• UIKeyboardTypeURL
• UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad
• UIKeyboardTypeNamePhonePad
• UIKeyboardTypeEmailAddress
• UIKeyboardTypeTwitter

So, all of them except UIKeyboardTypeDecimalPad. using UIKeyboardTypeDecimalPad gets you nothing but a slap on the wrist in either iOS 5.1 or 6.1.

iPhone:

• UIKeyboardTypeASCIICapable
• UIKeyboardTypeNumbersAndPunctuation
• UIKeyboardTypeURL
• UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad
• UIKeyboardTypeNamePhonePad
• UIKeyboardTypeEmailAddress
• UIKeyboardTypeDecimalPad
• UIKeyboardTypeTwitter

i.e. all of them
