I’ve subclassed a UITextField to display a UIDatePicker instead of a keyboard. Entering dates is something that happens often I our app. The problem occurs when another of our custom classes that accommodates the keyboard needs to know what the first responder.
Is there a way to remain first responder, whilst hiding keyboard?
Actually, instead of subclassing, you should just make a custom inputView for your text field which uses a date picker as the custom “keyboard”. Then, it will remain the first responder and never even call the system keyboard in the first place.
