Customize the iOS Keyboard with Xamarin

You can customize the iOS Keyboard with Xamarin.

Nearly all applications require that users interact with your app via a keyboard. It could be a search bar, a text field, or something else -- users typically use the keyboard in some way for input. iOS comes with different types of keyboards that can solve just about any need, but there are times when some additional feature would be great. In Google's Gmail app for iOS, for instance, maybe you'd like to make things a bit easier by adding e-mail addresses for .net, .org, and other domain suffixes. This article will look at how to modify the existing iOS Keyboard to better fit the needs of the application.

  • Oh! If you could add something like Swype functionality I think that would be awesome! Also are emojis built into the keyboard? They are one Fleksy and it's pretty damn useful. Lastly, dynamic lighting- a lighter keyboard might look better for Messages, and a darker more transparent one for spotlight search etc.
    Other than that, it looks like this may be the best iOS 8 keyboard!

  • Thanks Xamarin.

  • Xamarin is used to develop mobile apps using c# and allows deployment to both iOS and Android simultaneously.
