I feel that this question has been asked 10^78 times, but for some reason, am unable to find the question, nor the answer ..
I want to add a keyboard with a uitextView at the top .. Exactly like the default SMS application on the iPhone ..
How can I do that?
*Bonus: if you can also give me a hint as to how to animate it with the keyboard (goes down when the keyboard animates out .. and goes up with the keyboard);
You need to use a
UIToolbar(containing your text views, etc.) and set theinputAccessoryViewproperty of theUITextViewto that toolbar. The animation should take place without any additional code.See http://www.randomsequence.com/articles/adding-a-toolbar-with-next-previous-above-uitextfield-keyboard-iphone/
