Question

In my view, I have a textfield setup to display the Phone Keyboard, but it just shows the standard keyboard instead. Here’s my code…

    contactPhoneTextField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:frameText];
    contactPhoneTextField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleNone;
    contactPhoneTextField.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
    contactPhoneTextField.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:17.0];
    contactPhoneTextField.placeholder = @"Tap To Enter Contact Phone Number";
    contactPhoneTextField.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    contactPhoneTextField.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;  
    contactPhoneTextField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypePhonePad; //<<<----
    contactPhoneTextField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyDone;  
    contactPhoneTextField.clearButtonMode = UITextFieldViewModeWhileEditing;        
    contactPhoneTextField.delegate = self;  

What gives?

Thanks so much in advance for your wisdom!

Looks like you’re using an iPad? There is no phone pad available on this device … So the displayed keyboard layout with numbers is correct.
