How do I hide the textfield cursor on the iPhone?
Do you mean this...
[currentlySelectedTextField resignFirstResponder];
This will cause a text field to lose focus and the keyboard to hide again.
If you want to hide the blinking cursor line... I don't think you can do that easily.

I am developing a program in which I have UITextView in that I need a cursor without the key board.In this cursor is show only with the keyboard if I hide the keyboard cursor will also get hide.How can I get the cursor without the key board ?
The cursor is displayed as long as you UITextView is being edited.
Thus, you can change its inputView view to some other view if you need to, and it will be displayed instead of the keyboard.
See http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#DOCUMENTATION/UIKit/Reference/UIResponder_Class/Reference/Reference.html
With this method you can add your custom inputView, a UIPickerView for example, or as you say you want you can add a minimalist hidden UIView.
If you want to restrict UITextField content, you still need to implement UITextFieldDelegate, as the user can still paste content to your text field!
I need to get the cursor in textfiled but on the textfileddidbeginEditing i have to open the picker view for selection , so for that reason i need to resignFirtsresponder to the textfield ,inorder that picker view is visible .But by doing this the cursor gets disabled as i open the picker (and the keyboard gets hide by resignFirst responder).I want to show the cursor as because when user cliks on partilcuar textfield so by that cursor he can track on which textfield he is making the selection.
Hope i am clear with my question.
if you want the picker instead of keyboard, set the text fields inputView as the picker... so when you tap the text field the picker will pop up like keyboard and the textfield will show the cursor too.. no need to dismiss the keyboard and then show the picker..
If I understand your problem right, this is just an usability problem. I think you can solve this if you just add some other mechanism for showing the user which textfield is in editing-mode.
For example add an text-color to the TextField. If the user disable the UIPickerView set the text-color back to the normal state.
Hi
When we click on a UITextField or UITextView, a default keyboard pops up from the bottom of iphone screen. I want iphone keyboard to appear on a button click, and then handle the keys as typed on keyboard... How can i do that?
Add touchupinside event on button and call becomeFirstResponder method for textview or textfield it will call pop up keyboard.
see the following code-
-(IBAction)buttonClicktoModalView:(id)sender{
[textView becomeFirstResponder];
}
I was searching my problem, and came across the following stackoverflow link which answers my question

Is there a way to keep the cursor blinking when UITextView is not first responder?
Or is there any other way to put another view on top of keyboard while it's first responder?
I don't think you can keep the cursor blinking without it being firstResponder, but there is a tutorial here which shows you how to put a view over the keyboard.
How can I programmatically assign focus to a specific UITextField in a view? I have several fields and on view display, I'd like to put the cursor on a specific field, not the first one at top.
Try doing this in viewWillAppear:
[desiredField becomeFirstResponder];
By making the field the first responder, it have focus and the keyboard will be displayed.
Set the first responder for your view to be the text field. This can be done in IB.
In swift:
desiredField.becomeFirstResponder()
