You can use following code to show your textfield which in bottom of tableview by changing tableview "Y" coordinate

        #pragma mark - textfield delegate

        - (void) textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)sender {
                   activeTextField = sender;

                   if ([sender isEqual:TextField1]) {
                      [self setViewMovedForViewIndex:1];
                   }
                   else if ([sender isEqual:TextView2])
                   {
                      [self setViewMovedForViewIndex:2];
                   }

        }

      - (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField 
        {
                 [textField resignFirstResponder];
                 [self setViewMovedForViewIndex:0];
                 return YES;
        }

    - (void)setViewMovedForViewIndex:(int)index {
        [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
        [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5]; // if you want to slide up the view

        CGRect rect = self.table.frame; 

        switch (index) {
            case 0:
                rect.origin.y = 0;
                break;
            case 1:
                rect.origin.y = 0;
                break;
            case 2:
                rect.origin.y = -160;
                break;
            default:
                break;
        }

        self.table.frame = rect;

        [UIView commitAnimations];
    }

Seems like you are looking for KeyboardAccessory view. You can achieve this. Look at this tutorial. It will help. And try to study about it.

Apple has a sample for this.
