ios - It is possible to show keyboard without using UITextField and UITextView iphone app?

Question

I am working in iPhone messaging based app.

I want to show keyboard with keyboard inputAccessoryView in keyboard without using UITextView and UITextField. It is possible to do this? Please any one help me on this.

Thanks in advance. Looking forward your help. Thanks.

EDIT:

Because i don't want the UITextField/UITextView and the control to be in UITextView/UITextField. I am going to add inputAccessoryView on the keyboard is UITextView. when the user touches the UITextview in the keyboard inputView the actual process will be continue.

Answer 1

For anyone, who wants to show keyboard without UITextField/UITextView for some reasons, could easily extend some view, which requires text input by implementing UIKeyInput protocol and canBecomeFirstResponder method.
