Custom Keyboards for iOS

An easily customizable iOS keyboard

Custom Keyboards for iOS allows you to create a keyboard inputView that looks and feels just like the iPad or iPhone/iPod touch keyboard. It is particularly useful for developers who are looking to add keyboard input for language that is not natively supported by iOS. The included example project is for a Punjabi keyboard.

Installation & Usage

Setup

Add the iPad and/or iPhone:iPod directory to your target in Xcode. PKCustomKeyboard.h contains all of the customizable constants for the iPad keyboard. PMCustomKeyboard.h contains all of the customizable constants for the iPhone/iPod touch keyboard. Characters in the kChar array can start or end with ◌ (U+25CC) and the ◌ will not appear when inputted into the textView. This is particularly useful for diacritical characters.

Make sure to import PKCustomKeyboard.h and PMCustomKeyboard.h into your view controller's header file.

Usage

Insert the following into the viewDidLoad of your view controller or wherever else you see fit. You can setTextView to any UITextView or UITextField that you want the keyboard to appear for.

if ( UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone )
    {
        PMCustomKeyboard *customKeyboard = [[PMCustomKeyboard alloc] init];
        [customKeyboard setTextView:self.textView];
        
    }
    else {
        PKCustomKeyboard *customKeyboard = [[PKCustomKeyboard alloc] init];
        [customKeyboard setTextView:self.textView];
    }
