I have a view with only one UITextView that is used to enter a value. I want that when the view shows, the textview becomes the first responder (that's the easy part) and also the default keyboard shows up. I tried searching for this in speca but to no avail. There are many posts on how to dismiss the keyboard, but what I want is to show the keyboard w/o waiting for user to touch my textview.

Just setting the text field to firstResponder should do the trick.
Inside your -viewDidLoad:
[myTextField becomeFirstResponder];

Damn, I was sending my message to the cell holding the textview, not to the textview itself. ty
