+## RDRStickyKeyboardViewDelegate
+In order to catch when the user Taps on the left/right buttons of the keyboard, you must conform to the RDRStickyKeyboardViewDelegate protocol.
+
+```objectivec
+-(void)didSelectLeftKeyboardButton
+{
+    //code for handling left keyboard button Tap
+}
+-(void)didSelectRightKeyboardButton
+{
+    //code for handling right keyboard button Tap
+}
+```
+
+## Accessing the UITextView
+You have readOnly access to the UITextView shown as a convenience property 'textView' of the RDRStickyKeyboardView class.
+Use it to access text content as well as for implementing UITextViewDelegate if your code requires this (see demo project for more info on this).
+
+
 ## Requirements
 * ARC
 * iOS 7
