I am building an iOS-app using the Ionic-framework. When I use select-elements, I do not get the header with the label "Done" when selecting items in the menu on iOS-native. However it will show up when I use the app in iOS/Safari. Screenshots and code attached. Any input/solutions on this would be much appreciated.

Markup
<label class="item item-input item-select">
<div class="input-label">
Bostadstyp
</div>
<select ng-change="addParam('objectType', selectedHouseType)" ng-model="selectedHouseType" ng-options="houseType.id as houseType.label for houseType in houseTypes"></select>
</label>
The Ionic app contains a default code in app.js who hide the keyboard acessory bar, you need to comment this following line: cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(true);
Getting something like this:
// Hide the accessory bar by default (remove this to show the accessory bar above the keyboard
// for form inputs)
if (window.cordova && window.cordova.plugins.Keyboard) {
//cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(true);
cordova.plugins.Keyboard.disableScroll(true);
}
Regarding @emccracken's comment, according to the Ionic Team the reason for hideKeyboardAccessoryBar is "because native apps seldom have an accessary bar. It's a dead give away that an app is built with web tech and isn't native."
You can show and hide the accessory bar on demand which is explained a bit here. Taking the $timeouts out of the directive worked better for me. Here's what mine looks like.
.directive('select', function() {
return {
restrict: 'E',
link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
element.bind('focus', function(e) {
if (window.cordova && window.cordova.plugins.Keyboard) {
// console.log("show bar (hide = false)");
cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(false);
}
});
element.bind('blur', function(e) {
if (window.cordova && window.cordova.plugins.Keyboard) {
// console.log("hide bar (hide = true)");
cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(true);
}
});
}
};
})
If you still have this issue, my case was a keyboard plugin conflict between
cordova-plugin-keyboard and cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard.
So check on config.xml to see if you have more than one plugin and if so remove with:
cordova plugin remove [plugin-name]
then install proper plugin:
ionic cordova plugin add ionic-plugin-keyboard
https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/keyboard/
Then you will be able to use cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(false);
Hope it helps.
