How to validate or Allow Only Numeric value TextField in IOS or objective-c
In whatever UITextField you’re getting these values from, you can specify the kind of keyboard you want to appear when somebody touches inside the text field.
- Check the maximum allowed characters.
- Check the valid decimal number.
- Check only numeric numbers.
- The code is the UITextField delegate method. Before you use this snippet, you must have these properties:
- self.maxCharacters
- self.numeric // Only int characters.
- self.decimalNumeric // Only numbers and “.”, “,”

Objective C
- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string
{
BOOL allowChange = YES;
if ([textField isEqual:zipText])
{
allowChange = NO;
int textLength = [textField.text length];
int value;
if (([string isEqualToString:@""]))
{
allowChange=YES;
}
else
{
value = (int) [string characterAtIndex:0];
}
if ((textLength <= kMaxZipLength) && value >=48 && value <=57)
{
allowChange=YES;
}
}
return allowChange;
}
- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string
{
