I want to do a customised keyboard. Either
1. Create a view with all the buttons similar to default keyboard present but with some changes in the controls.
OR
2. Is it possible to change the color of already present keyboard or its alphabets/numbers.
Is it possible to do either of them? Is there anything similar to this?
Yes, you can, and it's not difficult. In iOS versions 3.2 and greater, you can set the inputView property for any responder. When that responder becomes first responder, the input view will be displayed.

Is it possible to create a custom keyboard for iPhone or iPad in iOS 5 or later?
My thinking is I have to create my own keyboard with some icons. And It will popup custom keyboard while beginning the text in textfield.
Is It possible?
Thanks In advance.
You can make a custom input view, but within your application only (i.e. you cannot replace the keyboard across the entire device): https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/StringsTextFonts/Conceptual/TextAndWebiPhoneOS/InputViews/InputViews.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009542-CH12-SW2
Essentially you just assign your custom view to the inputView property of a UITextView (https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UITextField_Class/Reference/UITextField.html#//apple_ref/occ/instp/UITextField/inputView) and your custom view will be shown when your input becomes the first responder.
How in the world does one get the iPhone view to zoom in on a focused UITextField? I need to tap on a text field that I want to edit, and my view should zoom in to the tapped text field and pull up the keyboard (which it already does), similar to how many Internet text fields gain focus on the iPhone. Is this some type of overlay?
I've been looking everywhere for this solution but maybe I've just got the wrong terminology. Thank you in advance.
Could be a duplicate of this StackOverflow question.
In essence, there are a number of ways, but you have to program this effect manually. A textfield is already an overlay. You can either move it, or scroll the containing view.
Please follow the following steps.
Implement the delegate method for all textfield.connect the outlet of textfield in interface builder basically it's setting the delegate property.then in delegate property you can defined the method whatever you want to implement or wanted to do functionality.
Thanks
Anyone has any idea how one can achieve the same look as when you press on the "From:" in the Mail iphone app when you have more than one user account.
I'd like to remove my keyboard, but WITHOUT animating it. Rather just disappear and instead of it have a UIPickerView appear.
Thanks much!
Since iOS 3.2 you can set the inputView property of a UITextField to a custom view. This view is then shown instead of the keyboard as input for that view.
There's no way to achieve this before iOS 3.2 I know.

How do you set the popup keyboard to only show certain keys when you type into a textfield? I know there are default keyboards but none seems suitable. Is there an alternative input option? Thanks.
Since iOS 3.2, you can change the keyboard :

The value of this property is nil.
Responder objects that require a
custom view to gather input from the
user should redeclare this property as
readwrite and use it to manage their
custom input view. When the receiver
subsequently becomes the first
responder, the responder
infrastructure presents the specified
input view automatically. Similarly,
when the view resigns its first
responder status, the responder
infrastructure automatically dismisses
the specified view.
This property is typically used to
replace the system-supplied keyboard
that is presented for UITextField and
UITextView objects.
Apple wont allow you to do any alterations to the keyboards..
What do you want to enter? Either create a custom keyboard, use pickers if possible or code it to not accepts certain keys..
Okay. I did'nt know you were allowed to change the keyboard now..
I usually use a picker. and have one of the segments just contain a "," the rest of the segments are 0-9..
or you could do something like this:
What is the best way to enter numeric values with decimal points?
But since its okay to change the keyboard now try this:

I want to create custom GUI for keyboard layout instead of normal layout. How can I achieve this?
Can anyone help me ?
Is there any built-in style/layout available or do I need to create a view for same?
Thanks,

You use the inputView property of a UITextField or UITextView. Simply assign it a custom view of your own. Then, when the receiver becomes the first responder, the system will automatically show your custom view as the keyboard. It will also hide it, when resigning first responder.
As far as I know, there are no templates.
I collected a view links about this topic with screenshots of keyboard-layouts + links about the programming-background. The article is in german but the links are all english: http://uxzentrisch.de/custom-mobile-keyboard-design/
Thanks for your answer, Jorge!
