UITextField no longer reloads keyboardType after reloadInputViews call

Question

In iOS 7, I could change the keyboard type while it is the firstResponder (on the fly):

if (textField.text.length > 2) {

    textField.keyboardT         


        

Answer 1

I found the same issue. It is better to check whether the textField is already the firstResponder or not.

[textField reloadInputViews]; // does not work on iOS8 !

if ([textField isFirstResponder]) {
    [textField resignFirstResponder];
    [textField becomeFirstResponder];
}

Not a clean way though, but it works.

Answer 2

I found that this works when the textfield is first responder:

[self.textField reloadInputViews];
[self.textField setText:@" "];
[self.textField setText:@""];
