How to build a bar on the keyboard

Question

I want to dismiss keyboard by click dismiss button ,How to build a bar on the keyboard? like this:

Answer 1

It was answered here. Basically, you send a resignFirstResponder message to the UITextView. Of course, you will put that code on your button's delegate.

Answer 2

Try to put following code. It might work for you.

Put following variables in your viewController.h file

UIToolbar *keyboardToolbar;

    id notisender;

    BOOL isAlreadyResigned;
    float kx,ky,kh,kw;

Now put following code in you viewController.m file.

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

}

-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated{
    isAlreadyResigned=YES;
    [self keyboardToolbarShouldShow];
    [self keyboardToolbarShouldShow];
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
}

-(void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated{
    [self keyboardToolbarShouldNotShow];
    [super viewWillDisappear:animated];
}
