Hello Readers,

To add a toolbar above the keyboard we may use the following code snippet.

We will create a toolbar with the needed items and set as the input accessory View of the keyboard. In the below code we have added a done button on top of the keyboard, clicking on the done button dismisses the keyboard.

ObjectiveC

- (BOOL)textViewShouldBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView{

 UIToolbar *toolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc]init];
 [toolbar setBarStyle:UIBarStyleDefault];
 [toolbar setTranslucent:YES];
 UIBarButtonItem *doneBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:@"Done" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:@selector(resignKeyboard)];
 [toolbar setItems:@[doneBtn]];
 [toolbar setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];
 [toolbar sizeToFit];
 [textView setDelegate:self];
 [textView setInputAccessoryView:toolbar];
 return YES;
}

- (void)resignKeyboard{
 [self.view endEditing:YES];
}

Swift

func textViewShouldBeginEditing(textView: UITextView) -> Bool {
 let keyboardToolBar = UIToolbar()
 keyboardToolBar.barStyle = UIBarStyle.Default
 keyboardToolBar.translucent = true;
 let doneBtn = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Done", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.Done, target:self, action: "resignKeyboard")
 keyboardToolBar.setItems([doneBtn], animated: true)
 keyboardToolBar.sizeToFit()
 textView.inputAccessoryView = keyboardToolBar
 return true;
 }

 func resignKeyboard(){
 self.view.endEditing(true)
 
 }

Output:
