I have set a custom inputView
to my UITextField
. I need a way to display the data selected in my custom inputView
in the UITextfield
. I would like to achieve this the same way the system keyboard does it.
Does anyone know how this is done? How does the system keyboard get a reference to the UITextfield
that is the first responder?

It just asks the system for the first responder; unfortunately, that's a private UIKit method (or was, last I checked). You can find the first responder by recursing through the view hierarchy and asking each view, but that's pretty clumsy.
Instead, you can add a link to the text field on the input view (I'm assuming your input view is a custom UIView subclass):
@property(nonatomic, assign) UITextField* target;
Then use the UITextField delegate methods in your view controller to see when the text field is being focused:
- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField*)textField
{
if ( [textField.inputView isKindOfClass:[MyInputView class]] )
((MyInputView*)textField.inputView).target = textField;
}
- (void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField*)textField
{
if ( [textField.inputView isKindOfClass:[MyInputView class]] )
((MyInputView*)textField.inputView).target = nil;
}
When sending input from your custom input view back to the textfield, note that you can (should) use the UIKeyInput
protocol methods that UITextField
conforms to. Namely:
- (void)deleteBackward;
- (void)insertText:(NSString *)text;
