How to change UIWebView keyboard toolBar in iOS 7?

Question

UIWebviewkeyboard contains next,previous buttons like (<,>). I need to add a custom toolBar forUIWebView KeyBoard toolbar. Please advise me. I customised in iOS 8 but it is not working for iOS 7.

- (void) addCustomToolBarForWebViewKeyBoardToolBar 
{    

UIWindow *keyboardWindow = nil;

for (UIWindow *testWindow in [[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows]) {
    if (![[testWindow class] isEqual : [UIWindow class]]) {
        keyboardWindow = testWindow;
        break;
    }
}

// Locate UIWebFormView.
for (UIView *possibleFormView in [keyboardWindow subviews]) {

    if ([[possibleFormView description] hasPrefix : @"<UIInputSetContainerView"]) {
        for (UIView* peripheralView in possibleFormView.subviews) {

            for (UIView* peripheralView_sub in peripheralView.subviews) {

                if ([[peripheralView_sub description] hasPrefix : @"<UIKBInputBackdropView"] && peripheralView_sub.frame.size.height == 44) {
                    [[peripheralView_sub layer] setOpacity : 0.0];

                }
                // hides the accessory bar
                if ([[peripheralView_sub description] hasPrefix : @"<UIWebFormAccessory"]) {

                   UIToolbar *toolBar  = [self findWebKeyboardToolbar:peripheralView_sub];

                    if (toolBar){
                        editableToolBar=toolBar;
                        [self checkSelection:self];
                        return;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}    

}

- (UIToolbar *)findWebKeyboardToolbar:(UIView *)parent
{
if ([parent isKindOfClass:[UIToolbar class]]) {
    // the stock toolbar contains a single item with a UISegmentedControl customView.
    UIToolbar *tb = (UIToolbar *)parent;
    return tb;
}

for (UIView *view in parent.subviews) {
    UIToolbar *tb = [self findWebKeyboardToolbar:view];
    if (tb) return tb;
}

return nil;
}

Please use this category class it will help you.

@interface UIWebView (GUIFixes)

/**
 *  @brief      The custom input accessory view.
 */
@property (nonatomic, strong, readwrite) UIView* customInputAccessoryView;

/**
 *  @brief      Wether the UIWebView will use the fixes provided by this category or not.
 */
@property (nonatomic, assign, readwrite) BOOL usesGUIFixes;

iOS 7.x didn't have a UIWebFormAccessory class ,so you can't find it,just replace your code with follow - (void)addCustomToolBarForWebViewKeyBoardToolBar { UIWindow *keyboardWindow = nil;

for (UIWindow *testWindow in[[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows]) {
    if (![[testWindow class] isEqual:[UIWindow class]]) {
        keyboardWindow = testWindow;
        break;
    }
}

UIToolbar *toolBar =  [self findWebKeyboardToolbar:keyboardWindow];
toolBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
}

- (UIToolbar *)findWebKeyboardToolbar:(UIView *)parent {
if ([parent isKindOfClass:[UIToolbar class]]) {
    // the stock toolbar contains a single item with a UISegmentedControl customView.
    UIToolbar *tb = (UIToolbar *)parent;
    return tb;
}

for (UIView *view in parent.subviews) {
    UIToolbar *tb = [self findWebKeyboardToolbar:view];
    if (tb) return tb;
}

return nil;
}
