I've downloaded iOS 8 Gold Master for the iPhone and the SDK.
I tested the app and it works fine, except for one thing.
I have a text field where a number pad will appear if the user wants to type something, in addition, a custom button is added to the empty area when the keyboard shows up.
- (void)addButtonToKeyboard
{
if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone)
{
// create custom button
UIButton * doneButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
doneButton.frame = CGRectMake(-2, 163, 106, 53);
doneButton.adjustsImageWhenHighlighted = NO;
[doneButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"DoneUp.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[doneButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"DoneDown.png"] forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
[doneButton addTarget:self action:@selector(saveNewLead:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
// locate keyboard view
UIWindow * tempWindow = [[[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows]objectAtIndex:1];
UIView* keyboard;
for(int i=0; i<[tempWindow.subviews count]; i++)
{
keyboard = [tempWindow.subviews objectAtIndex:i];
// keyboard view found; add the custom button to it
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 3.2) {
if([[keyboard description] hasPrefix:@"<UIPeripheralHost"] == YES)
[keyboard addSubview:doneButton];
} else {
if([[keyboard description] hasPrefix:@"<UIKeyboard"] == YES)
[keyboard addSubview:doneButton];
}
}
}
}
This was working fine up till now.
First of all, I'm getting this warning:
Can't find keyplane that supports type 4 for keyboard iPhone-Portrait-NumberPad; using 3876877096_Portrait_iPhone-Simple-Pad_Default
then that custom button is also not showing, which I think because of these 2 lines:
if([[keyboard description] hasPrefix:@"<UIPeripheralHost"] == YES)
and
if([[keyboard description] hasPrefix:@"<UIKeyboard"] == YES)
Any suggestions?
I too had this problem after updating to the latest Xcode Beta. The settings on the simulator are refreshed, so the laptop (external) keyboard was being detected. If you simply press:
iOS Simulator -> Hardware -> Keyboard -> Connect Hardware Keyboard
so that the entry is UNchecked then the software keyboard will be displayed once again.
