In the keyboardwillshow notification, i tried to add toolbar to the keyboard but no luck, i cant add

Please let me know

UIWindow* tempWindow = [[[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows] objectAtIndex:1];
    UIView* keyboard;
    for(int i = 0; i < [tempWindow.subviews count]; i++)

        //Check to see if the description of the view we have referenced is "UIKeyboard" if so then we found
        //the keyboard view that we were looking for
        if([[keyboard description] hasPrefix:@"<UIKeyboard"] == YES)
        {
            [keyboard addSubview:myToolbar];
        }
    }

Answer 1

I think, you want an inputAccessoryView.

Basically, you create a view and set it as a text field's or text view's input accessory view.

[textField setInputAccessoryView:inputAccessoryView];

Here is code in case someone else need it.Found on stack overflow

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    UIToolbar* numberToolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 50)];
    numberToolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent;
    numberToolbar.items = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                         [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:@"Clear" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:@selector(clearNumberPad)],
                         [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:nil action:nil],
                         [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:@"Apply" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:@selector(doneWithNumberPad)],
                     nil];
    [numberToolbar sizeToFit];
    numberTextField.inputAccessoryView = numberToolbar;
}



-(void)clearNumberPad{
    [numberTextField resignFirstResponder];
    numberTextField.text = @"";
}

-(void)doneWithNumberPad{
    NSString *numberFromTheKeyboard = numberTextField.text;
    [numberTextField resignFirstResponder];
}
