How to disable keyboard appearing when hitting on a text field , iOS?

Question

I have a text field , and i need when the user presses it to show a custom picker.

The picker is shown fine , but the problem is that the keyboard appears on the bottom

Answer 1

-(BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
    // Here You can do additional code or task instead of writing with keyboard
    return NO;
}

this delegate method will get called first when you hit to textfield and if you write NO as a boolean value means you dont want to begin editing so it will not present Keyboard.
