I'm making an iPhone application that has my own custom text view that can display multi-formatted text and I need to interact with the keyboard somehow. Right now I am using a hidden UITextField and the delegate method textField:shouldChangeCharactersInRange:replacementString:
to get the typed characters. However this feels kludgy and I was wondering if it's possible to show the keyboard and get notified of each key tap without using a UITextField or UITextView?
Thanks,
Kyle
- GeeksforGeeks How to define keyboard input in HTML5 ? The phrase tag is used to define the keyboard input. The text enclosed by <kbd> tag is typically displayed in the browser’s default monospace font. In this article, we define the keyboard input by using various types of tags like <kbd>, <code>, <em>, <var>, and <samp>. Keyboard input.
Add an IF() to the DisplayMode of the button you are using to submit the data. If the textfield is empty then set display mode of the button to disabled and if its not set it to Edit. Until the user fills in the text field they won't be able to submit, so it will be required. If I have answered your question, please mark your post as Solved.
In iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS apps, show the appropriate keyboard type. Several different keyboard types are available, each designed to facilitate a different type of input. To streamline data entry, the keyboard you display when editing a text view should be appropriate for the type of content.
By default if we do not use KeyboardAvoidingView then Keypad will show above TextInput widget on focus. But when we use KeyboardAvoidingView then it will slightly push the TextInput above from screen and show Keypad just below the selected TextInput component.
The documentation for the UIKeyInput protocol says the following:
A subclass of UIResponder can adopt this protocol to implement simple text entry. When instances of this subclass are the first responder, the system keyboard is displayed.
Only a small subset of the available keyboards and languages are available to classes that adopt this protocol.
So this might serve your needs better than a hidden text field/view.
In the public API, the best you can do is as you described. UIKeyboard
and UIKeyboardImpl
are both private unfortunately.
