How to hide the shortcut bar in iOS9

Question

I have a textfield with a hidden keyboard (since I'm using it with bluetooth). However, in iOS9 the shortcut bar keeps appearing.

Is there a way to hide it too?

Thank you so much!

Answer 1

You can pass your textfield name in place of userNameTextField for which you want to remove shortcut bar.

UITextInputAssistantItem* item = [userNameTextField inputAssistantItem]; item.leadingBarButtonGroups = @[]; item.trailingBarButtonGroups = @[]; 

Answer 2

In Swift 2.0

if #available(iOS 9.0, *) {     let item : UITextInputAssistantItem = yourTextView.inputAssistantItem     item.leadingBarButtonGroups = []     item.trailingBarButtonGroups = [] } else {   // Fallback on earlier versions }
