edit: keyboard in case keypad 10 digits , backspace key

what best way go this? i've been working around having uitextfield works custom keyboard view, , create first responder when view loads, maybe there improve ways.

thanks in advance!

to create uitextfield utilize keyboard...

in viewdidappear or viewwllappear function this...

[self.textfield becomefirstresponder];

this create keyboard appear , textfield respond input.

to dismiss keyboard have run...

[self.textfield resignfirstresponder];

as long don't run maintain keyboard focus.
