How do I automatically load the keyboard (iOS SDK)?

Question

really simple question:

I got a view that consists of two textfields. When the view loads I want the keyboard to automatically pop up and focus the first field.

How do I do that? (In code? In IB?)

Thanks a lot! wasabi

Answer 1

In your viewDidAppear: method call [yourTextField becomeFirstResponder].

Answer 2

[myTextField becomeFirstResponder] should do the trick.

Also make sure you implement the UITextFieldDelegate methods where you can hide the first responder.
