Question

I cannot get the toolbar to show above (just like apple has with a done button) the keyboard. Can anything think of why it isn’t showing? Like the image below.

.h

@interface CustomerNotesController : UITableViewController <UITextViewDelegate>
{
    UIToolbar *noteToolbar;
    IBOutlet UITextView *note;
    id delegate;
}

@property (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UITextView *note;
@property (nonatomic, retain) id delegate;
@property (nonatomic, retain) UIToolbar *noteToolbar;

.m

@synthesize note, noteToolbar, delegate;

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    [note setDelegate:self];
    [note becomeFirstResponder];
}

- (void)textViewDidBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView
{
    NSLog(@"EDITING");
    if (noteToolbar == nil) {
        NSLog(@"Creating toolbar");

        noteToolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, self.view.bounds.size.width, 44.0)];
        noteToolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent;

        UIBarButtonItem *cancelButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Cancel" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:@selector(cancelNote:)];

        UIBarButtonItem *clearButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Clear" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:@selector(clearNote:)];

        UIBarButtonItem *extraSpace = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:nil action:nil];

        UIBarButtonItem *doneButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemSave target:self action:@selector(saveNote:)];

        noteToolbar.items = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:cancelButton, clearButton, extraSpace, doneButton, nil];
        NSLog(@"Items: %@", noteToolbar.items);
    }

    NSLog(@"Current field: %@",textView);
    NSLog(@"keyboard: %@", noteToolbar);
    textView.inputAccessoryView = noteToolbar;
}

Try setting these in the viewDidLoad method !
