Programmatically changing keyboard type on iOS does nothing

Question

I want to change keyboard type from default to numeric after user pressed return button. However after setting keyboardType property nothing happens.

My code:

-(BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField {     [textField setKeyboardType:UIKeyboardTypeNumbersAndPunctuation];      return YES; } 

I have set myself as text field delegate and the method is being called after pressing return button.

EDIT: Solved by

-(BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField {     [textField setKeyboardType:UIKeyboardTypeNumbersAndPunctuation];     [textField reloadInputViews];     return YES; } 

Answer 1

Try this:

-(BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField {     [textField setKeyboardType:UIKeyboardTypeNumbersAndPunctuation];     [textField reloadInputViews];     return YES; }
