UISearchBar

[ewindso]

Hello there -- any tips on getting this to work with UISearchBar?

I've tried subclassing and making inputView readwrite... however it still shows default keyboard...

You need to set the inputView of the UITextField that the UISearchBar uses, but unfortunately Apple doesn't provide methods to access it directly. You can, however, search through the subviews of the search bar and set the inputView of the textField that it is using like this:

for (UIView *view in yourSearchBar.subviews) {
    if ([view isKindOfClass: [UITextField class]]) {
        UITextField *textField = (UITextField *)view;
        textField.inputView = [LNNumberpad defaultLNNumberpad];
        break;
    }
}
