SwiftMaterialKeyboard
Description
In some application, the default keyboard provided by Apple is just not enough, we need more control over the position and also behavior of the on-screen keyboard. For example: we need the Qwerty keyboard to be smaller and always visible that can be tucked to a screen corner instead of taking half of the screen.
Example
To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first.
Requirements
Installation
SwiftMaterialKeyboard is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:
pod 'SwiftMaterialKeyboard'Create keyboard
To create a custom keyboard, create a new class which inherits from MaterialKeyboard and define the desired number of rows and columns by overriding rowCount and columnCount. Each key will be placed just like an HTML table's cell with position for row, column and the desired rowSpan or columnSpan.
This is the PinPad which can be found in Example project:
class PinPad: MaterialKeyboard {
override var rowCount: Int { return 4 }
override var columnCount: Int { return 4 }
override func createButtons() -> [KeyboardButton] {
let prev = KeyboardButton.create(for: FAKMaterialIcons.longArrowTabIcon(withSize: 24), row: 0, column: 3, action: .next)
prev.transform = CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: .pi)
return [
KeyboardButton.create(for: "1", row: 0, column: 0),
KeyboardButton.create(for: "2", row: 0, column: 1),
KeyboardButton.create(for: "3", row: 0, column: 2),
KeyboardButton.create(for: "4", row: 1, column: 0),
KeyboardButton.create(for: "5", row: 1, column: 1),
KeyboardButton.create(for: "6", row: 1, column: 2),
KeyboardButton.create(for: "7", row: 2, column: 0),
KeyboardButton.create(for: "8", row: 2, column: 1),
KeyboardButton.create(for: "9", row: 2, column: 2),
KeyboardButton.create(for: "0", row: 3, column: 1),
KeyboardButton.create(for: "CLR", row: 3, column: 0, action: .clear),
KeyboardButton.create(for: FAKMaterialIcons.arrowLeftIcon(withSize: 24), row: 3, column: 2, action: .backspace),
prev,
KeyboardButton.create(for: FAKMaterialIcons.longArrowTabIcon(withSize: 24), row: 1, column: 3, action: .next),
KeyboardButton.create(for: FAKMaterialIcons.longArrowReturnIcon(withSize: 24), row: 2, column: 3, rowSpan: 2)
]
}
}And this is how it looks like in a real application:
