How to make numeric keyboard appear on entry of view controller in Xamarin.iOS?

Question

I would like to make the numeric keyboard appear on entry of a view controller. What would I need to add to the back end to do that, and would I put it in the ViewDidLoad()?

Thanks, Josh

Answer 1

You can set the KeyboardType of your UITextField and call BecomeFirstResponder to display the keyboard.

yourUITextField.KeyboardType = UIKeyboardType.NumberPad;
yourUITextField.BecomeFirstResponder();

Answer 2

call BecomeFirstResponder on any UITextField (or other keyboard control) in your View

myUITextField.BecomeFirstResponder();
