i would like to increase the keyboard key size is that possible?
if i need to create my own custom keyboard , i want to increase the keyboard keys size.
Please provide me how can i go with implementing this...
any tutorials or code sample would be helpful .
Thanks for your time and views
Standard keyboard appears as a window and you cann't change its size.
Custom keyboard is just a custom view with backgroundImage and about 30 buttons. I guess you should provide some datasource for this view (for different language supporting) and delegate like a (void)keyboardDidPushLetter:(MyCustomKeyboard *)keyboard atIndex:(NSInteger)index;. Just start implement it.

I'd like to change the appearance of the default UISearchBar. As an example, how would you recreate the search box in the Google iPhone app as seen below? How would you overlay an image to produce this effect?
(source: isedb.com)
Upon some investigating of possibilites to customize the search bar, I'm inclined to say this is a custom component that has nothing to do with UISearchBar, but instead recreates its functionality.
You don't need to subclass anything.
Create a new UIView that has the buttons and text field and then when then entire view is going to load do this:
[self.searchDisplayController.searchBar addSubview:customSearchBarView];
Make sure to set the new text field as the first responder so it has access to the keyboard.
I have a UIViewController, it's a view (UIView) containing two elements - UIPageControl and also a UIScrollView. Now, when using normal keyboard, the view is a perfect fit, sharing the screen with the keyboard. But when an international keyword is used, the keyboard would add an extra ribbon for showing the international characters. When that's happened, the view would be covered by the extra keyboard ribbon. The view can't be resized as the UIScrollView view contains a table of two rows of fixed size. So now I am wondering if I should find a way to allow the UIView container to up shift to accommodate the ribbon and shift back when the ribbon disappears. Or is there any other better solutions to work around the issue?

Basically, you'll want to sign up to receive notifications about when the keyboard is shown. From there you can get the keyboard frame size and then adjust views in your window to display properly. The tutorials in the post really do a good job explaining how to do this. Check them out! If you still have questions I can try to help you with specifics.
i would to know if there is a way to show(call) an iphone-uikeybord-like inside a UIPopOverController. I've an ipad app with several functions, in one of these there is a button that show a popoover, inside the popover there are a uitableviewcontroller and a search controller for search functions inside the table; search stuff is numeric only and i want show a keyboard(like numberpad in iphone) inside the popover instead show the maxi ipad keyboard.
Thanks in advance.
Sure you can do that - but you'll have to build a custom keyboard.
I did exactly the same thing to create a numeric keypad after playing around trying to use a different UIControl for the text field input without much success.
My solution was specific to our app because we also wanted - and + keys to adjust the value without by tapping, but what I ended up doing was:
extend UITextField
add - and + buttons next to it
add a transparent button on top of the numeric field
trigger UIPopOverController when the transparent button was tapped
the popover loaded a NumericKeypad with it's own view
Although I usually try to use IB as much as possible in this case all buttons and target assignments were done in code (for easy of calculating relative positions in code)
The creation of the keyboard itself is really easy - it's just a bunch of buttons. You can either build in IB or programmatically - quite simple either way.
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
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,
Jayesh
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!
