I am trying to use a TextEditor() in SwiftUI and will need .keyboardType(.numberPad). Unfortunately though, whenever I set this option, for some reason my device and simulator seem to ignore it entirely! It just shows the default keyboard no matter what I set as the keyboard option.
Does anyone know why this might be? I have tested iOS 14.0 and 14.2 Beta with Xcode 12 Beta 2.
Here's an ugly workaround using SwiftUI-Introspect
(FB8816771 is the feedback ID I logged with Apple.)
private extension View {
func keyboardType_FB8816771(_ type: UIKeyboardType) -> some View {
let customise: (UITextView) -> () = { uiTextView in
uiTextView.keyboardType = type
}
return introspect(selector: TargetViewSelector.siblingContaining, customize: customise)
}
}
In case this helps anyone with the fact that TextEditor does not have a Done button...expanding on the answer from Luke Howard above...
import Introspect
extension View {
func addDoneButton() -> some View {
let helper = MainViewHelper()
let customise: (UITextView) -> () = { uiTextView in
let toolBar = UIToolbar(frame: CGRect(x: 0.0,
y: 0.0,
width: UIScreen.main.bounds.size.width,
height: 44.0))//1
let flexible = UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: .flexibleSpace, target: nil, action: nil)
let barButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Done", style: .plain, target: uiTextView, action: #selector(helper.close))
toolBar.setItems([flexible, barButton], animated: false)//4
uiTextView.inputAccessoryView = toolBar
uiTextView.keyboardAppearance = .light
}
return introspect(selector: TargetViewSelector.siblingContaining, customize: customise)
}
}
class MainViewHelper {
@objc func close() {
}
}
