Is it possible add keyboard in action sheet?
If yes, how can I do? ... I would like to disable the background.
Thanks, Luigi.
I think UIKeyBoard can not be added in ActionSheet but you achieve your goal but handling keyboard notifications...add the Keyboard will appear and will disappear notifications in your controller...
on keyboard will appear add a subview of frame same as the parent view frame..and set its alpha 0.5...it will look like An ActionSheet is appearing and the background will automatically be disabled and on keyboard disappear remove that view from superview...you can add tap Gesture in the view you are adding..Hope so it will be answer of your question.
You can add different controls to action sheets, like pickers and text views. However, as mentioned you can't add a keyboard.
If you want to customize what is shown when the keyboard is shown, you can slide controls with the keyboard, to make it look like they are part of the keyboard.
Alternatively you could create your own keyboard using buttons etc.
I need to have textfield (maybe with button) fixed at the bottom of screen, and when start editing, I want it (and probably the whole view) to move with keyboard up - just like in the native Messages application (or Whatsapp, etc...). Any suggestions ?
The easiest way is to put everything in a UIScrollView, which you resize when the keyboard is shown using the UIKeyboardDidShowNotification. Then you scroll to ensure that your views are visible.
Check out the Apple documentation under "Moving Content That Is Located Under the Keyboard"
I want to change my common toolbar style to this style..
Transparent toolbar.
the round conner at the left and right side.
press any of them have the click events. (all of them have already implemented in the old toolbar version.)
Your best bet is to just write your own custom view. You can use an image for the background and then use a set of uibuttons and customize to your hearts content. It'll be easier than customizing the toolbar.
I have a view with a bottom toolbar and a UIWebview that is loading an HTML page with some textboxes. Is there anyway when the user clicks on a textbox, the keyboard appears above the toolbar, that way it doesn't hide its buttons?
You shouldn't try to change the keyboard's location, even if you could. That would be a usability disaster.
Instead, try to move the toolbar above the keyboard if you want to keep it visible.
I want to add a text box and a button beside it. They will be at the bottom of the window. Then, when I touch the textbox (to type something), keyboard will appear and the whole row (with textbox and button) scrolls up and the keyboard will be right below them. Could you please let me know how can I do that?
Is there any sample program?
Thanks.

Sliding UITextFields around to avoid the keyboard
It is a step by step example of exactly what you want.
In the XCode documentation iPhone Application Programming Guide there is a section on "Moving Content That Is Located Under the Keyboard" that talks about receiving keyboard notifications when a keyboard is about to show. There's code there to show you how to get the keyboard size (which varies depending on the orientation). I won't repeat it here.
You can use the same technique to get the UIKeyboardWillShowNotification notification and get the height of where the keyboard will end up. That gives you the bottom edge of where your view needs to go, effectively putting it above the keyboard. So just put your textbox and button inside a view. When you get the notification tell your view where it needs to go (keyboard height + height of the container view) and you're done. You'll also want to catch UIKeyboardWillHideNotification to move the view back to where it was, so keep track of the original container view position.
It's pretty straightforward and it'll look nice, especially if you use a nice UIView animation effect and set the timing just right.
