   Hi, I'm creating my first game using cocos2d, and everything has been going smoothly! Right now, I'm trying to create a UITextView to enter a user's name. I would like to use textViewDidBeginEditing to move the view up with the keyboard when the UITextView is selected. Do I need to put anything in the header file? Here's the code I put into my Layer Node:

   CGRect frame = [[[Director sharedDirector] openGLView] frame];
   nameView = [[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
   nameView.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
   nameView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0 green:0 blue:0 alpha:0];
   [nameView setReturnKeyType:UIReturnKeyDone];
   [[[Director sharedDirector] openGLView] addSubview:nameView];

   Do I have to create a separate UIViewController? I tried this:

   @interface EndGameLayer : Layer <UITextViewDelegate> {

   do I need to create something like this to put on top of the cocos2d director view?

   @interface AppController : UIViewController <UITextViewDelegate> {

   Hi,

   I just use a UITextField attached directly.

   The layer is set to implement the UITextFieldDelegate protocol.

   Then I use the following:

   UITextField *nameTextField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake(100, 228, 220, 28)];

   nameTextField.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI * (90.0 / 180.0)); // rotate for landscape

   // NOTE: UITextField won't be visible by default without setting backGroundColor & borderStyle
   nameTextField.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
   nameTextField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;

   nameTextField.delegate = self; // set this layer as the UITextFieldDelegate
   nameTextField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyDone; // add the 'done' key to the keyboard
   nameTextField.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo; // switch of auto correction
   nameTextField.autocapitalizationType = UITextAutocapitalizationTypeWords;

   // add the textField to the main game openGLVview
   [[[Director sharedDirector] openGLView] addSubview: nameTextField];

   // auto show the keyboard once the view has been added (NB: seems to need to be AFTER addSubview call to work)
   [nameTextField becomeFirstResponder];

   Hope thats some help.
