We have created a custom texteditor and successfully finished the project. But we dont need the splited keyboard, because it creates problem in our custom view. — user869123, Nov 17 '11 at 14:51

Seems like the split keyboard does not use the same functions as regular keyboard. see here.

Here's the problem: You can iterate through the keyboard subviews and hide the button but you can't control the state of the keyboard when going from one app to the next. It would get really tricky and sneaky to force the private api to call when the application did enter foreground and the keyboard became active.

You could do this but apple may deny you from the store.

Fix your view to account for the keyboard movement. Your users will dock or unsplit the keyboard when there's clear disruption in the UI due to the keyboard placement.

Other solutions could be to move the entire view that requires keyboard placement to be docked or undocked using the notifications. See other posting here: StackOverflow article
