You need to add an UITextField to your view and call then [myTextfield becomeFirstResponder]; Its possible to set the hidden attrribute from UITextField to YES - so the user will never see the textfield. After Keyboard input is finished you can remove the UITextField with removeFromSuperview.

Maybe a little bit dirty, but thats the solution I used often. I wonder if the SDK provide another possibility.
