一、起因
iPhone 的键盘,特别是数字键盘,往往不能满足程序的输入需要。最典型的例子就是在数字键盘上添加一个“.”,用来输入小数点。安装 iPhone SDK 官方的观点,如果要使用小数点键盘,那只好使用数字和符号键盘,但那样没个按键很小,且不需要的按键太多。
二、现有方案
针对这种情况,最早的解决方案,请参考这里:http://www.cnblogs.com/mac_arthur/archive/2010/05/18/1738363.html。使用的是 以下代码来检测一个 Notification。
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(addCustomKeyBoardButton)
name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification
object:nil];
这种方法,在 iOS 4.0 后失效了,原因有两个,一是UIKeyboardWillShowNotification的时候,键盘根本没有创建出来;另外,Class Name 也被外包了一层,叫做UIPeripheralHostView。
于是又有了一种改进的方案,请看这里:http://www.neoos.ch/news/46-development/54-uikeyboardtypenumberpad-and-the-missing-return-key。主要的改进是在UIKeyboardDidShowNotification的通知消息中来修改键盘。但正如作者所说,这里有个不完美的情况,只能等键盘动画显示完成之后,才能添加显示我们的东西,视觉效果不好。
三、改进方案
经过试验,找到一个比较完美的方案:在 UITextField 的becomeFirstResponder和resignFirstResponder中修改键盘。
定以一个类,假如叫做 KBCustomTextField : UITextField,在这个类中加入一下代码:
//
- (BOOL)becomeFirstResponder
{
BOOL ret = [super becomeFirstResponder];
[self modifyKeyView:@”NumberPad-Empty” display:@”.” represent:@”.” interaction:@”String”];
return ret;
}
//
- (BOOL)resignFirstResponder
{
BOOL ret = [super resignFirstResponder];
[self modifyKeyView:@”NumberPad-Empty” display:nil represent:nil interaction:@”None”];
return ret;
}
modifyKeyView 的实现可以参看附件。我使用的是循环查找UIKBKeyView类,这是Apple 的 Private API(私有API的声明可以在这里找:http://github.com/kennytm/iphone-private-frameworks/tree/master/UIKit/),不确信能否通过 App Store 的审核:)
更近一步地,我完善了一下 KBCustomTextField,通过这个类,非常方便地就可以做到自定义输入键盘:
-
使用小数点和数字键盘:非常简单,只要在 IB 中把 UITextField 的类改成KBCustomTextField,就OK了,不用一行代码,效果如下图:
-
在键盘的按键上添加一个文字按钮(并指定处理动作):设置KBCustomTextField.kbDelegate,实现这两个函数即可:
// [Yonsm] Handle keyboard show
- (void)keyboardShow:(KBCustomTextField *)sender
{
[sender addCustomButton:@”NumberPad-Empty” title:@”DONE” target:self action:@selector(onButton:)];
}
// [Yonsm] Handle keyboard hide
- (void)keyboardHide:(KBCustomTextField *)sender
{
[sender delCustomButton:@”NumberPad-Empty”];
}
- 更近一步地,这两个 Delegate 函数中,你只要通过 name 来查找到想要修改的 UIKBKeyView,就可以随便修改它。name 可以通过 KBCustomTextField 的#define _LOG_KEY_VIEW来列出所有的按键名称。name 为 nil 则找任何的 UIKBKeyView(可以用他的 .superview 来找到整个键盘View,做更多的处理)。
