In my application what is want is when user clicks on button next view is pushed and default keyboard should be open in the pushed view .
Thanks in advance
You'll have to use -becomeFirstResponder: in the -viewDidAppear: method.
-(void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewDidAppear:animated];
[yourTextField becomeFirstResponder];
}
This will make the keyboard appear.
Assuming you have a text field or something in that view you need to do this:
[myTextView becomeFirstResponder] in your viewDidLoad method.
in your next view, call the becomeFirstResponder method from the input field.
e.g. [[nextViewController] usernameField] becomeFirstResponder];

I want my UITextField's keyboard to stay open for the entire time I use this view controller. I don't want it to only open when my user touches the text field. In order to do this, I was hoping I would call the textFieldShouldBeginEditing method by doing this:
EDIT: thanks everyone, I just noticed I called my UITextField a UIImage field for some reason in the interface.
The textFieldShouldBeginEditing delegate method is not something that you call from your code. The OS calls the method when that particular event occurs, and you put code in there to run when the event is fired (similar to putting code in viewDidLoad for your view controller).
To show the keyboard whenever the view controller appears, simply call the UITextField's becomeFirstResponder method in the view controller's viewDidAppear method like this:
[self.myTextField becomeFirstResponder];
Don't forget to create an IBOutlet parameter for the UITextField, link it in Interface Builder, and replace self.myTextField above with the outlet that you created.
You should trigger your textview in viewDidAppear method:
- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewDidAppear:animated];
[self.myTextField becomeFirstResponder];
}
I have a very weird bug here, this is the scenario;
-I click on one of the textfields on my UITableView, uikeyboard appears,
-Then without pressing done, I click another textfield on screen(a disabled one),
-This disabled textfield pushes a detailview controller,
-I do my job on the detailview and return back,
-Surprize! the main UITableview is no more scrollable to bottom anymore! so I can not edit the bottom cells anymore!
This does not happen IF I press done after editing(so close the keyboard) and then click the detail view, now it works good.
I think it is something about resignfirstResponder is not called before I switch to another view, so I tried to send this msg to all the textfields in the tableview..but it got worse.
I tried also adding this line below just before I push the detailviewcontroller, but not worked, this is interssting cause this is what I call to resign the number pad normally, and it works when it is called from my custom "done" button to dismiss the nuber pad
[[self view] endEditing:YES];
And this is how I set the uikeyboards depend on the content in cellforRowAtIndex method
if(somelogic){
cell.textField.keyboardType=UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad;
[self resignFirstResponder];
[self becomeFirstResponder];
}
else{
cell.textField.keyboardType=UIKeyboardTypeDefault;
[self resignFirstResponder];
[self becomeFirstResponder];
}
Any Ideas?
Just call [currentTextField resignFirstResponder] before you push the detail view controller.
Set the currentTextField in the following method.
- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
currentTextField = textField;
// Your code here
}
Occam's razor.
Don't let them not click the done button.
Put a transparent UIButton accross the entire screen. Show it when you call [textField becomeFirstResponder]. You can either prevent people from touching the screen and switching textFields, or call [textField resignFirstResponder] when it is tapped.
I want to show the keyboard just after a view controller is being pushed to start editing a specific UITextField.
I believe that I should manually fire the event on the ViewDidAppear.
Which is the proper way of doing such tasks?
To make keyboard appear you need to manually set your text field as a first responder:
[textField becomeFirstResponder];
It can be called either in viewWillAppear: or in viewDidAppear: method - whichever provides best behaviour for you.
for that you need IBOutlet UITextFiled *yourTextField;
- (void)viewDidLoad or viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated or viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[yourTextField becomeFirstResponder];
}
I have a situation where the keyboard maybe open and then an NSTimer pops a view over the text view. Is there anyway to close the keyboard globally rather than from the text view resignFirstResponder method? The reason I ask is that the textView is dynamic in that it maybe there sometimes and not others. One way would be to give it a TAG. Can multiple items be referenced with same tag?
I think the answer is no but I would be interested in your thoughts?
Thanks
Steve
To dismiss the keyboard from anywhere, even if you don't know directly who is the firstResponder, use:
[[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate] window] endEditing:YES];
The endEditing: method of UIView should do the trick. Send it to the superview of the potentially existing UITextView when you want to dismiss the keyboard.
You can try to send some control the message becomeFirstResponder
You could pass a reference to the UITextView in the NSTimer...
ORRRRR....
In the view that pops up you could do something like:
for(id view in self.superview.subviews){
[(UIView *)view resignFirstResponder];
}
I fill information then tap "Done" button for doing some process and show loading view for waiting.
I need loading view is over every view, but How can I do?
Thanks for adviser.

You should make your keyboard disappear from the screen as soon as user taps on done button.
call this method
[myTextField resignFirstResponder]
when you start loading
this is the best answer for your question
[textField setInputAccessoryView:inputAccessoryView];
Did you observe the UIKeyboardWillShowNotification and UIKeyboardDidShowNotification notifications? You can update the view elements in the handlers.
Try to add the loading HUDView ro whatever you are using for the purpose on the application's keywindow.
as
[[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow addSubview:loadingView];
ALso resigning the responder while the loadingview is displayed is really a very important thing you should do.
[myTextField resignFirstResponder]
