I want to use it as a UIButton when I tap UITextField

Question

I created a custom keyboard screen on tvOS. If possible, tap on UITextField as it is, I want to transition to the custom keyboard view. But tapping the UITextField always displays the system keyboard. What should I do now?

Answer 1

1) Make the view controller implement this delegate: UITextFieldDelegate

class YourViewController: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate {
    // ...
    yourTextField.delegate = self
    // ...
}

2) Return false in textFieldShouldBeginEditing, so the text field doesn't respond and the keyboard doesn't open. Instead, open yours or do whatever you want.

func textFieldShouldBeginEditing(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
    // HERE, open your keyboard or do whatever you want
    return false
}
