MIMInputToolbar

A very simple gem that provides the one MIMInputToolbar class which you can use as the input accessory view for your UITextFields and UITextViews.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'MIMInputToolbar'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install MIMInputToolbar

After installing the gem / adding it to your Gemfile, start off by creating an instance of MIMInputToolbar.

@field_bar = MIMInputToolbar.new

Give each input the instance through it's input accessor view property.

@text_field_one.inputAccessoryView = @field_bar
@text_field_two.inputAccessoryView = @field_bar
@text_field_three.inputAccessoryView = @field_bar

Then finally, give the instance all the fields (in the correct order) that it will be navigating through.

@field_bar.fields = [@text_field_one, @text_field_two, @text_field_three]

You can optionally set the title for the Previous / Next / and Done buttons like so

@field_bar.previous_title = " < "
@field_bar.next_title = " > "
@field_bar.done_title = "Complete"

This works really well with the TPKeyboardAvoiding.

Big thank you to Gant Laborde and Mark Rickert who have been pushing this forward.
