Question

so in my viewdidload i got something like

[nameTextField becomeFirstResponder]

now after a button gets klicked, i want to slide out the keyboard of this textfield, and slide another keyboard of another textfield in.

i thought about

[nameTextField resignFirstResponder];
[dateTextField becomeFirstResponder];

but the other keyboard shows up immediately.

commenting the [dateTextField becomeFirstResponder]; out, effects that my nameTextField keyboard slides out as i wanted.

any ideas how to do this?

thanks!

Answer 1

Is there a reason why you want to do this? It will obviously increase the time it takes for a user to enter information, which I know would bug me.

But if you do really want this effect, then I would look at something like this:

[dateTextField performSelector:@selector(becomeFirstResponder) withObject:nil afterDelay:timeDelay];

Where timeDelay is the amount of time it takes to dismiss the first keyboard.
