Question

I am designing a form in iOS 5, where i’m showing the following fields.

1. User Id – Numpad Keyboard
2. Pin Number – Numpad Keyboard
3. Password – ASCII capable
4. Confirm Password – ASCII capable

I have a number of problems.

1. When the keyboard is on screen, fields which are displayed at the bottom are obscured by the keyboard. How do i show them?

2. There is no next/done button implementation for Numpad Keyboard type. A custom implementation as discussed in SO on this link has the problem, that i have ASCII keyboards too, which display next buttons at the bottom. and while being displayed in the landscape mode, there is no room left for the form.

Answer 1

There are two parts to this.

1. Keeping controls in view when the keyboard appears.
2. Having previous/next/done buttons on any keyboard.

For the first part, you want to use a scroll view. See: Moving Content That Is Located Under the Keyboard.

For the second part, you want to set a input accessory view. See: Input Views and Input Accessory Views.

Hope that helps.
