How can i do this?

Answer 1

Make a view you want to at the top of the keyboard. You can do this from xib or manually, but I think xib will be a better option.

Then make the reference to this view by doing this

 - (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
   textField.inputAccessoryView = YOURCustomView;
   return YES;
}

Whenever you want to hide this or remove this just put this

textField.inputAccessoryView = nil;
