How to use UIPopOver to input text in to UITextField? - objective-c

Question

I would like to learn how would I make a UITextField get text from a UIPopover view. Let's say I have buttons with numbers on my popover and I want these numbers to be input into the textfield.
Some people sugested to us BOOL like this:
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *) textField {
[self.myPopover presentPopoverFromRect:textField.frame
inView:self.view
permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny
animated:YES];
return NO;
}
And one more:
- (BOOL)textViewShouldBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView {
if(popoverController == nil){ //make sure popover isn't displayed more than once in the view
popoverController = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:popoverDetailContent];
}
[popoverController presentPopoverFromRect:textView.frame
inView:self.view
permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny
animated:YES];
popoverController.delegate = self;
return NO; // tells the textfield not to start its own editing process (ie show the keyboard)
}
Both are not making much change, my textField still calls the default iPad keyboard instead of my popover.
Second example uses delegate popoverController and my controller is flipsidePopoverController.
Could I use an IBAction like this?
- (IBAction)togglePopover:(id)sender {
if (self.flipsidePopoverController) {
[self.flipsidePopoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
self.flipsidePopoverController = nil;
} else {
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"showAlternate" sender:sender];
}
}
