Combine UIAlertViewStyleLoginAndPasswordInput with UIKeyboardTypeEmailAddress

authentication, email, ios, iphone, xamarin.ios

Solution

Got it. You can get the textfield of the `UIAlertView` and set the style there:

alertView.GetTextField(0).KeyboardType = UIKeyboardType.EmailAddress;

Obj-C:

[[alertView textFieldAtIndex:0] setKeyboardType:UIKeyboardTypeEmailAddress];

Problem

Is there any way of displaying a `UIAlertView` with Login/Password text fields, so that the keyboard type is of type `UIKeyboardTypeEmailAddress`? I use a `UIAlertView` as follows: ``` var alertView = new UIAlertView("Login".Translate(), "", null, "Cancel".Translate(), "Login".Translate()); alertView.AlertViewStyle = UIAlertViewStyle.LoginAndPasswordInput; ``` or, in Objective-C: ``` UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Title" message:@"Message" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:@"Login", nil]; [alertView setAlertViewStyle:UIAlertViewStyleLoginAndPasswordInput]; ``` but all user names of my app are e-mail addresses, so I'd like to have the keyboard of the login textfield as an e-mail address keyboard, i.e. a `UIKeyboardTypeEmailAddress`. Any ideas?
