Of course, the documentation here is rather thick and useless, as nowhere in Apple’s iOS docs can I see an image of the expected keyboard to be displayed for each UITextField.keyboardType.
Am I correct in assuming that there is no numbers and decimal point only keyboard that can be set for the iPad?
These are the enums from UITextInputTraits.h that I have tried, and not one of them displayed a numbers only keypad, nor do the docs mention that the expected keyboard on an iPad should not be as indicated.
typedef NS_ENUM(NSInteger, UIKeyboardType) {
UIKeyboardTypeDefault, // Default type for the current input method.
UIKeyboardTypeASCIICapable, // Displays a keyboard which can enter ASCII characters
UIKeyboardTypeNumbersAndPunctuation, // Numbers and assorted punctuation.
UIKeyboardTypeURL, // A type optimized for URL entry (shows . / .com prominently).
UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad, // A number pad with locale-appropriate digits (0-9, ۰-۹, ०-९, etc.). Suitable for PIN entry.
UIKeyboardTypePhonePad, // A phone pad (1-9, *, 0, #, with letters under the numbers).
UIKeyboardTypeNamePhonePad, // A type optimized for entering a person's name or phone number.
UIKeyboardTypeEmailAddress, // A type optimized for multiple email address entry (shows space @ . prominently).
UIKeyboardTypeDecimalPad NS_ENUM_AVAILABLE_IOS(4_1), // A number pad with a decimal point.
UIKeyboardTypeTwitter NS_ENUM_AVAILABLE_IOS(5_0), // A type optimized for twitter text entry (easy access to @ #)
UIKeyboardTypeWebSearch NS_ENUM_AVAILABLE_IOS(7_0), // A default keyboard type with URL-oriented addition (shows space . prominently).
UIKeyboardTypeASCIICapableNumberPad NS_ENUM_AVAILABLE_IOS(10_0), // A number pad (0-9) that will always be ASCII digits.
UIKeyboardTypeAlphabet = UIKeyboardTypeASCIICapable, // Deprecated
};
