UIToolBar is not shown when adding the same toolbar as inputAccessaryView - iphone

Question

I have got a uipickerview which will be populated when pressing a uibutton.
This uipickerview has a uitoolbar control in the top of the uipickerview.
That tool bar has got uibuttons in it.It is working fine until i do the below thing.
I want to have that uittoolbar, on top of the uikeyboard.So I have added , that uitoolbar control as InputAccessoryView.
When i did this, the uitoolbar comes with uikeyboard.that is fine.
but when i tap on the button, which has to show the uipickerview with that toolbar and also needs to resign the toolbar.
So when tap on the button, i have resigned the uikeyboard.
the uipickerview is showing but the toolbar is not visible.
I have been trying to fix this for a long time, but really facing a tough time.
Please let me know.
