create uitextfield over uiwebview textfield programmatically in iphone

I want to create uiTextField overlay on uiWebview and it is on the same position on the uiwebview input field.
i.e.: when user clicks on the textfield available on webview then new UITextfield is created and displayed over html textfield. when Editing is done uitextfield disappears then value is placed inside the textfield inside webview.
My application is in Phonegap architecture. please provide any suggestion or examples.
Thanks...
take one view, set background to clearColor & put textField inside it, show dynamically when you clicks your webView TextField. because of clearColor it feels like it is on webView

iPhone how to make progress bar clickable like a button?

I am currently building an iphone game, that when the progress bar is full(that is when the character is in full power), user can click the progress bar and it triggers some action.
How to make a progress bar clickable like a uibutton? I saw the accessibility with the button option, but I have no idea how you implement it.
You could add a UITapGestureRecognizer to it or put it inside a UIButton with type UIButtonTypeCustom

How to detect tapping on the gray (dimmed) background in UISearchDisplayController

I am working on a iOS project where I want to implement a search functionality. I'm using UISearchBar and UISearchDisplayController and I would like to make UISearchBar implicitly hidden. When user taps on the UIBarButtonItem, the search bar will appear and "becomeFirstResponder", whereas when user clicks on the Cancel button in the search bar, it should disappear.
The appearing is working correctly, but I have a problem with disappearing. I managed to hide the search bar when user taps on the Cancel button (searchBarCancelButtonClicked method), but I'm unable to hide the search bar when the grey (dimmed) background in UISearchDisplayController is tapped. As far as I know, there is no method to detect this event, so it is necessary to apply some hack. Do you know any, or what is the best way to detect tapping on the gray background?
So I've finally worked it out. Apart from the searchBarCancelButtonClicked:(UISearchBar *)searchBar, it is also necessary to hide the search bar in searchDisplayControllerDidEndSearch:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller. It looks this callback is called even when the gray (dimmed) background is tapped, so it can be easily used for hiding the search bar.
UISearchDisplayController usually consists of a UISegmentedControl, the UIResultsTable and the keyboard. The results table is where you want to detect this touch to dismiss. With that being known, maybe you can add a transparent UIButton to that view that dismisses first responder, or Maybe you can add a UIGestureRecognizer on a transparent view that achieves the same effect? Just thinking off the top and have not tried this myself, if it works for you im glad !

Let user reorder buttons in a UIView

I have a view in which there are 6 buttons. I want to let user reorder the position of these buttons as I can do in the screen of the iphone with the app icons. The user could drag a button to the position of another button and change its position in the view.
Facebook app has this functionality with its icons too.
Any idea?
Thanks.
What you are looking for is the Three20 Launcher.

Remove keyboard or place Picker View on TOP of keyboard

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.
