UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad dismiss keyboard

How is a user suppose to indicate that he/she is done typing if the keyboard is of type UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad? There's no return/done button so how do I know the user wants to dismiss the keyboard开发者_开发百科? Thanks

After researching this problem for a while, I found no really satisfactory answers. Some solutions hack a "Done" button, but that doesn't work well for localized applications. My apps don't use any words so I definitely don't want a "Done" button.

As mentioned by taskinoor it is convenient for editing to end if the view is touched elsewhere. That's what I did, and here is code showing the details:

Creating the textField programmatically:

aTextField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 50, 50)];
[aTextField addTarget:self action:@selector(c1Update) forControlEvents:UIControlEventEditingDidEnd];
aTextField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad;
[yourView addSubview:aTextField];
c1Value = aTextField; // I like to keep a pointer for UI updates, alpha etc.

What happens in c1Update:

- (void)c1Update {
    [[self brain] setC1:[c1Value.text intValue]]; // update the model
}

Gesture recognizer on view:

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    [self updateViewColors];

    UITapGestureRecognizer *tapRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(viewTapped)];
    tapRecognizer.numberOfTapsRequired = 1;
    [self.view addGestureRecognizer:tapRecognizer];
}

- (void) viewTapped {
    if (c1Value.isFirstResponder) {[c1Value resignFirstResponder];} // dismisses keyboard, which causes c1Update to invoke.
}

You can either provide a cancel/hide button (outside the keypad) or hide that when touched anywhere outside the keypad. These two are common practices.

try this. it might help you hide the keypad when touched the screen.

-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event{
