How to show Done on Decimal Pad?

Question

I have a UITextField which is Number Pad and its properties look like

But when I run my application, I do not see Done on my screen

What is the issue? How can I get Done on Decimal Pad?

Answer 1

The best way I've found when doing something like this is to append an inputAccessoryView to the UITextField. That input accessory view can have a "Done" button on it that dismisses the keyboard for you. I don't think you should put a "Done" button on the key pad itself, because where would it go?

Here's how I've done it before:

- (void)setupKeyboardAccessory {
    UIToolbar *keyboardToolbar        = [[UIToolbar alloc] init];
    [keyboardToolbar sizeToFit];
    keyboardToolbar.backgroundColor   = [UIColor whiteColor];
    UIBarButtonItem *flexBarButton    = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:nil action:nil];
    UIBarButtonItem *doneBarButton    = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemDone target:self.patientAgeTextField action:@selector(resignFirstResponder)];
    keyboardToolbar.items             = @[flexBarButton, doneBarButton];
    self.textField.inputAccessoryView = keyboardToolbar;
}
