How to hide an iOS numeric keyboard

Question

I'm using a numeric keyboard for input from a UITextField. I noticed that Interface Builder has a return key property called "Done". When I select "Done" under the return key options, I do not see that a Done button is created on the numeric keyboard. I see the "Done" button on other keyboard types if I change it from a numeric keyboard to something else, but not when using a numeric keyboard.

• I want to create a "Done" button on the keyboard which will hide the keyboard when pressed
• I want to do this because of the amount of real estate the keyboard takes up
• I'm very new to iOS development, so the easiest and least convoluted way to accomplish this goal would be appreciated

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The typical way of doing this is to assign a toolbar containing a button to the inputAccessoryView property of the text view.
