Question

I have a UITextView field meant to receive input from a keyboard.

But the standard keyboard not being adequate for my app, I built another one with the buttons and characters I need.

I would normally make use of the UITextViewDelegate protocol and things would work.
But in this situation, how do I connect the UITextView field and my new keyboard?
Is there a “best way to do it”?

Thanks in advance for any relevant information.

Answer 1

Set your custom view as inputView of the UITextView.

// Edit: additional information:

Your custom keyboard will be a collection of buttons. You can add the same selector as target for all those buttons. Than your callback could be:

- (void) buttonTouched: (UIButton*) button
{
    myTextView.text = [myTextView.text stringByAppendingString: button.text];
}
