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

Use textfield delegate.

-(BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{        
    return NO;
}

Answer 2

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
    if(textfield == yourtextField)
    {
        [textfield resignFirstResponder];
        // Show you custom picker here....
        return NO;
    }     
}

and you need to implement the uitextfielddelegate in the controller.

and give assign the delegate to yourtextField.
