Dont show keyboard when textfield is tapped

Question

I have a UITextField and a UIDatePicker in my XIB file, now I assigned the date that is chosen on the UIDatePicker to be the value of the text in my textfield. I've done this well, my only problem now is that I want the keyboard not to show when I tap on the textfield. I'm sure somebody knows the answer, I will be glad if you will share it :) Thanks!

btw. I tried this, but it didn't work..

- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
[textField resignFirstResponder];
}

Answer 1

You can set delegate in your UITextField and return NO in textFieldShouldBeginEditing.

Answer 2

Just set the UIDatePicker as the inputView of your UITextField.

This wil repalce the keyboard as the input view when the user clicks on the UItextField with the UIDatePicker.

self.dateTextField.inputView = self.datePicker;
