How to Add custom button to iPhone keyboard in iOS? - objective-c

I want to add my customView on click of button which contain images similar to smiley(default button)while editing textField or textView using keyboard.
Thanks in advance.

You can't change default keyboard of Apple. But you can use inputAccessoryView of the text field, add a UIToolbar to it, and in the toolbar you can add a few buttons you want
or otherwise you create custom keyboard and then use it.

Xcode IB: Replace button with another type?

In my Xcode project, I have a few buttons in the main window that I would like to replace with another type of button. In this case, there are a few rectangles and a rounded rectangle button. Is there an easy way to replace the buttons with another style, or am I stuck with deleting them and settings them all up again? Thanks in advance!
You can select button type custom and use your own special background as the button in Interface Builder.
If you want to further customize your button, I suggest making an outlet of it and customize it programmatically.
Good Luck!

Next and Back tabs in UIKeyboard

using Xcode 4.3
I'm trying to toggle between text fields with a back and next tab in a UIKeyboardTypeDecimalPad keyboard. Can I add those to this type of keyboard? if so how?
You can override the entire keyboard (will need to make your own number buttons, etc.) with the inputView property on a text field.
Or, you can use the normal UIKit keyboard and add your own accessory view with your own buttons on top of the keyboard with the inputAccessoryView property.

Try setting the editable mode off:
textView.editable = NO;
You can also achieve this via Interface Builder by unchecking the Behavior Editable box in the Attributes Inspector tab.

Design your toolbar however you prefer, then set it to the InputAccessoryView property of the UITextField whose keyboard it should accompany. It will be automatically displayed above the keyboard whenever it appears.
