I have one of these crazy keyring Scanfob bluetooth scanners and I have been tasked with building a simple scan-to-tableView application. The problem I am facing is how to accept key entry without using a TextField or TextView, as they ultimately make the Keyboard appear which is unacceptable to the client.
This is my first week in Obj-C, i have scoured the forums for an answer to this with little results. I figure I can hijack the message from NSNotificationCenter if I could only figure out the correct notificationName/notificationSender. Can anyone point me in the right direction or documentation for a list of available notificationNames?
I am basing my assumptions on a standard textinput notification as below
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver: self selector: @selector(keyPressed:) name: UITextFieldTextDidChangeNotification object: nil];
I would be super grateful for any help, this is doing my melon in!
Edit: This is no longer an issue in iOs4 - inputView takes care of it!
