Add UIToolBar to all keyboards (swift)
For swift 4 you can use this:-
extension UIViewController : UITextFieldDelegate {
func addToolBar(textField: UITextField){
var toolBar = UIToolbar()
toolBar.barStyle = UIBarStyle.default
toolBar.isTranslucent = true
toolBar.tintColor = UIColor(red: 76/255, green: 217/255, blue: 100/255, alpha: 1)
var doneButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Done", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.done, target: self, action: "donePressed")
var cancelButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Cancel", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.plain, target: self, action: "cancelPressed")
var spaceButton = UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: UIBarButtonSystemItem.flexibleSpace, target: nil, action: nil)
toolBar.setItems([cancelButton, spaceButton, doneButton], animated: false)
toolBar.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
toolBar.sizeToFit()
textField.delegate = self
textField.inputAccessoryView = toolBar
}
func donePressed(){
view.endEditing(true)
}
func cancelPressed(){
view.endEditing(true) // or do something
}
}
Use
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
addToolBar(addressField)
}
Thanks to Glorfindel's suggestion and ncerezo's sample code I solved my problem using extensions.
extension UIViewController: UITextFieldDelegate{
func addToolBar(textField: UITextField){
var toolBar = UIToolbar()
toolBar.barStyle = UIBarStyle.Default
toolBar.translucent = true
toolBar.tintColor = UIColor(red: 76/255, green: 217/255, blue: 100/255, alpha: 1)
var doneButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Done", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.Done, target: self, action: "donePressed")
var cancelButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Cancel", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.Plain, target: self, action: "cancelPressed")
var spaceButton = UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: UIBarButtonSystemItem.FlexibleSpace, target: nil, action: nil)
toolBar.setItems([cancelButton, spaceButton, doneButton], animated: false)
toolBar.userInteractionEnabled = true
toolBar.sizeToFit()
textField.delegate = self
textField.inputAccessoryView = toolBar
}
func donePressed(){
view.endEditing(true)
}
func cancelPressed(){
view.endEditing(true) // or do something
}
}
Though I still need to call the code below on all of my textfields. I feel like there may be a better way without having to call the function on every textField, but for now this is definitely more reusable.
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
addToolBar(addressField)
}
equivalent of vivian version in swift 3:
extension UIViewController: UITextFieldDelegate {
func addToolBar(textField: UITextField) {
let toolBar = UIToolbar()
toolBar.barStyle = .default
toolBar.isTranslucent = true
toolBar.tintColor = UIColor(red: 76 / 255, green: 217 / 255, blue: 100 / 255, alpha: 1)
let doneButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Done", style: .done, target: self, action: #selector(donePressed))
let cancelButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Cancel", style: .plain, target: self, action: #selector(cancelPressed))
let spaceButton = UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: .flexibleSpace, target: nil, action: nil)
toolBar.setItems([cancelButton, spaceButton, doneButton], animated: false)
toolBar.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
toolBar.sizeToFit()
textField.delegate = self
textField.inputAccessoryView = toolBar
}
func donePressed() {
view.endEditing(true)
}
func cancelPressed() {
view.endEditing(true) // or do something
}
}
