how to show numbers in the default keyboard initially for UITextField

In my iPhone application I have an address line 1 field. I have assigned the default keyboard to that. But most likely line 1 field will start with apartment number.

I want to know how to show numbers in the default keyboard initially for this field.

You may want to use UIKeyboardTypeNumbersAndPunctuation instead, since the user can then go back to the alphabetical keyboard (by pressing the "ABC" button on the bottom of the keyboard) once the street number is entered. If you use the numberPad, only numbers can be entered.

To do this in IB, open the Inspector and select this as the default keypad. To do this programmatically, just add textField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeNumbersAndPunctuation;

 textField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad;

Set you textField.inputView as

    textField.inputView = nil;
    [textField setKeyboardType:UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad];
