keyboard notification not called in ios 11.3 - ios

I have keyboard notification in my App and its working fine in ios 10 but my notification method not called in ios11.3
Below is my code:
- (void)attach {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(keyboardWasShown:)
name:UIKeyboardDidShowNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(keyboardWillBeHidden:)
name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
}
- (void)keyboardWasShown:(NSNotification*)aNotification {
UIView* responder = [self findFirstResponder];
if (responder) {
_tapRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(didTapAnywhere:)];
[baseView addGestureRecognizer:_tapRecognizer];
NSDictionary* info = [aNotification userInfo];
CGSize kbSize = [[info objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size;
CGRect screenRect = [RGLayout layout].fullScreen;
CGRect frame = responder.frame ;
}
}
I have tried to find the solution and i got that the only changes in iOS11 is UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey for keyborad height.
But my problem is that my keyboardWasShown not called in ios11.3 same code is working ios 10.2
FYI: when user click on next the next textField will becomeFirstResponder.

Don't know why but the behaviour is strange the notification is calling in one screen and not in another screen.
I have solve the issue by following code:
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField{
if (self.nextField) {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
[self.nextField becomeFirstResponder];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName: UIKeyboardDidShowNotification object:self];
});
}
else{
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
[textField resignFirstResponder] ;
});
}
return NO ;
}

Obj-C - NSNotification executing twice?

For some reason, UIKeyboardWillHideNotification is being executed twice in my below code - I haven't a clue as to why. I know this because my NSLog ("Closed!") appears twice in my console. Am I missing something obvious (and no, I don't have UIKeyboardWillHideNotification pasted somewhere in my code a second time).
-(void)viewDidLoad {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(keyboardWillChange:) name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(handleKeyboard:) name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(handleKeyboard:) name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
}
- (void)handleKeyboard:(NSNotification*)aNotification{
NSDictionary* info = [aNotification userInfo];
NSValue* value = [info objectForKey:UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey];
NSTimeInterval duration = 3;
[value getValue:&duration];
if (aNotification.name == UIKeyboardWillShowNotification) {
self.upView.frame = CGRectOffset(self.upView.frame, 0, -self.keyboardHeight); self.tableView.frame = CGRectOffset(self.tableView.frame, 0, -self.keyboardHeight);
[self moveCustomView:YES duration:duration];
}
if (aNotification.name == UIKeyboardWillHideNotification) {
/** KEYBOARD HIDE **/
self.upView.frame = CGRectOffset(self.upView.frame, 0, self.keyboardHeight); self.tableView.frame = CGRectOffset(self.tableView.frame, 0, self.keyboardHeight);
[self moveCustomView:NO duration:duration];
NSLog(#"CLOSED!");
}
}
Make sure to remove observers in viewDidDisappear as , view controller may be not reallocated from some reason and code in viewDidLoad is executed twice as observer is added twice
// Objective c
- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)paramAnimated{
[super viewWillDisappear:paramAnimated];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
}
// Swift
override func viewDidDisappear(_ animated: Bool)
{
NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self, name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardDidShow, object: nil)
NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self, name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillHide, object: nil)
}
Be sure to remove the observer from the dealloc method. If you do not remove it and its memory is not released, it will listen for keyboard behavior on other pages. In addition, you should not add the same notification twice to the same observer.
Instead of Using same method for Hide and show notification. You can use two different Methods.
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(keyboardWasShown:)
name:UIKeyboardDidShowNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(keyboardWillBeHidden:)
name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
Now, for Change your frame You can use following code
NSDictionary* info = [aNotification userInfo];
CGSize *kbSize = [[info objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size;
self.tableView.frame = CGRectOffset(self.tableView.frame, 0, -kbSize.height);
Please, try it like this:
What I did:
• moved subscription to viewWillAppear
• added "unsubscribe" in viewWillDisappear
• added "unsubscribe" in dealloc (shouldn't be related to your issue, but that's the right way to do it still)
• replaced == with isEqual in your handler (also not related to your issue, most likely).
There may be some typos there. Sorry, if that's the case.
-(void)viewWillAppear {
[super viewWillAppear];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(keyboardWillChange:) name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(handleKeyboard:) name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(handleKeyboard:) name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
}
-(void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
//Leaving this method here just to point out that everything was moved to viewWillAppear
}
- (void)handleKeyboard:(NSNotification*)aNotification{
NSDictionary* info = [aNotification userInfo];
NSValue* value = [info objectForKey:UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey];
NSTimeInterval duration = 3;
[value getValue:&duration];
if ([aNotification.name isEqual: UIKeyboardWillShowNotification]) {
self.upView.frame = CGRectOffset(self.upView.frame, 0, -self.keyboardHeight);
self.tableView.frame = CGRectOffset(self.tableView.frame, 0, -self.keyboardHeight);
[self moveCustomView:YES duration:duration];
}
if ([aNotification.name isEqual: UIKeyboardWillHideNotification]) {
/** KEYBOARD HIDE **/
self.upView.frame = CGRectOffset(self.upView.frame, 0, self.keyboardHeight);
self.tableView.frame = CGRectOffset(self.tableView.frame, 0, self.keyboardHeight);
[self moveCustomView:NO duration:duration];
NSLog(#"CLOSED!");
}
}
-(void)unsubscribe {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self];
}
-(void)viewWillDisappear {
[super viewWillDisappear];
[self unsubscribe];
}
-(void)dealloc {
[self unsubscribe];
}

How to Manage ScrollView(Up And Down) According Keyboard was Show And Hide in Screen Using NSNotificationCenter in Objective C

Consider I have one screen, and in this screen I have 10 textfields, now my issue is when keyboard is open then keyboard is up on my 3 textfield. so how can i manage this using UIScrollView and NSNotification Center?
Yes I have One Code For this, I am Sure its Definitely Work For you.
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(keyboardWasShown:)
name:UIKeyboardDidShowNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(keyboardWillBeHidden:)
name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
// Called when the UIKeyboardDidShowNotification is sent.
- (void)keyboardWasShown:(NSNotification*)aNotification
{
NSDictionary* info = [aNotification userInfo];
CGSize kbSize = [[info objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size;
UIEdgeInsets contentInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.0, 0.0, kbSize.height, 0.0);
MyScrollView.contentInset = contentInsets;
MyScrollView.scrollIndicatorInsets = contentInsets;
}
// Called when the UIKeyboardWillHideNotification is sent
- (void)keyboardWillBeHidden:(NSNotification*)aNotification
{
UIEdgeInsets contentInsets = UIEdgeInsetsZero;
MyScrollView.contentInset = contentInsets;
MyScrollView.scrollIndicatorInsets = contentInsets;
}
You can create a category of UIView to make it has capability to Observe the UIKeyboardWillShowNotification and UIKeyboardWillHideNotification Notification
like below
#implementation UIView (PFInputViewControl)
-(void)setupKeyboardShow:(void(^)(NSNotification *notifacation))showblock hide:(void (^)(NSNotification *notifacation))hideblock {
NSNotificationCenter *notificationCenter = [NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter];
NSOperationQueue *mainQuene = [NSOperationQueue mainQueue];
[notificationCenter addObserverForName:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil queue:mainQuene usingBlock:showblock];
[notificationCenter addObserverForName:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil queue:mainQuene usingBlock:hideblock];
//Setting tap hid gesture when the keyboard is showed and remove the tap gesture when it disappear
[self setupForDismissKeyboard];
}
-(void)setupForDismissKeyboard{
NSNotificationCenter *notificationCenter = [NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter];
UITapGestureRecognizer *singleTap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc]initWithTarget:self action:#selector(tapHidAction)];
__weak typeof(self)weakSelf = self;
NSOperationQueue *mainQuene = [NSOperationQueue mainQueue];
[notificationCenter addObserverForName:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil queue:mainQuene usingBlock:^(NSNotification * _Nonnull note) {
[weakSelf addGestureRecognizer:singleTap];
}];
[notificationCenter addObserverForName:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil queue:mainQuene usingBlock:^(NSNotification * _Nonnull note) {
[weakSelf removeGestureRecognizer:singleTap];
}];
}
#end
And in your usage ,you just need to import the category file,and then setup the code
[self.view setupKeyboardShow:^(NSNotification *notification) {
//========== do your action when keyboard is show ==========
//....
//
//such as
NSDictionary* info = [notification userInfo];
//get the size of key board
CGSize kbSize = [[info objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size;
//make transform when key board show
self.view.y = - kbSize.height;
} hide:^(NSNotification *notification) {
//.... key board hid action
self.view.y = 0;
//....
}];
//setup keyboard dismiss when touch the screen out side the keyboard
[self.view setupForDismissKeyboard];

Get Keyboard size in textFieldShouldBeginEditing delegate

I am having trouble while i am creating a messaging app, When keyboard is opened i am not sure about total size and frame for Keyboard (dictionary area is opened or not).
I want to get total size and frame in
textFieldShouldBeginEditing
delegate.
You should use the UIKeyboardWillChangeFrameNotification . Also make sure to convert the CGRect into the proper view, for landscape use.
Set NSNotificationCenter in your textFieldShouldBeginEditing
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(keyboardWillChange:) name:UIKeyboardWillChangeFrameNotification object:nil];
and write this method.
- (void)keyboardWillChange:(NSNotification *)notification {
CGRect keyboardRect = [notification.userInfo[UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] CGRectValue];
keyboardRect = [self.view convertRect:keyboardRect fromView:nil]; //this is it!
}
In Swift 4
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillChange(_noti:) ), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillChangeFrame , object: nil)
KeyboardWillChange Method
#objc func keyboardWillChange(_noti:NSNotification)
{
let keyBoard = _noti.userInfo
let keyBoardValue = keyBoard![UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey]
let fram = keyBoardValue as? CGRect // this is frame
}
Register for UIKeyboardWillShowNotification.
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(keyboardWillShow:) name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
and in the selector get the keyboard frame:
- (void)keyboardWillShow:(NSNotification *)iNotification {
NSDictionary *userInfo = [iNotification userInfo];
NSValue *aValue = [userInfo objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey];
CGRect keyboardRect = [aValue CGRectValue];
}
I have faced this problem and solved by using notification observer on keyboard.
//set observer in textFieldShouldBeginEditing like
-(BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(myNotificationMethod:) name:UIKeyboardWillChangeFrameNotification object:nil];
return YES;
}
// method implementation
- (void)myNotificationMethod:(NSNotification*)notification
{
NSDictionary* keyboardInfo = [notification userInfo];
NSValue* keyboardFrameBegin = [keyboardInfo valueForKey:UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey];
CGRect keyboardFrameBeginRect = [keyboardFrameBegin CGRectValue];
NSLog(#"%#",keyboardFrameBegin);
NSLog(#"%f",keyboardFrameBeginRect.size.height);
}
//remove observer
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter ]removeObserver:self];
return YES;
}

iOS Keyboard show event handling

I am working on a chat app wherein I have a textview (not textfield) and when I click on it, the keyboard should show and everything should move up.
Till now, I have managed to shift the frame of the table view and textview up and show the keyboard using the below code.
- (void)keyboardWasShown:(NSNotification *)notification {
NSDictionary* info = [notification userInfo];
keyboardSize = [[info objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size;
CGPoint contentViewOrigin = self.contentView.frame.origin;
CGFloat contentViewHeight = self.contentView.frame.size.height;
CGRect visibleRect = self.view.frame;
visibleRect.size.height -= keyboardSize.height;
BOOL up = CGRectContainsPoint(visibleRect, contentViewOrigin);
if (!up){
self.tableView.frame = CGRectMake(self.tableView.frame.origin.x,self.tableView.frame.origin.y,self.tableView.frame.size.width,280.0f);
self.contentView.frame = CGRectOffset(self.contentView.frame, 0, 0 - keyboardSize.height);
if([self.tableView numberOfRowsInSection:0]!=0)
{
NSIndexPath* ip = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:[self.tableView numberOfRowsInSection:0]-1 inSection:0];
[self.tableView scrollToRowAtIndexPath:ip atScrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionBottom animated:UITableViewRowAnimationLeft];
}
}
}
- (void)keyboardWillBeHidden:(NSNotification *)notification {
self.contentView.frame = originalContentView;
self.tableView.frame = originalTable;
}
- (void)registerForKeyboardNotifications {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(keyboardWasShown:)
name:UIKeyboardDidShowNotification
object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(keyboardWillBeHidden:)
name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification
object:nil];
}
- (void)deregisterFromKeyboardNotifications {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
name:UIKeyboardDidHideNotification
object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification
object:nil];
}
But when I saw how whatsapp does it, mine looked like a hack. Whatsapp's keyboard moves up together with all the elements while mine works like this: First the keyboard is shown, a notification is sent to the app, notification is received, the code calculates the height of keyboard and moves up the elements according to the height.
I have searched and found the solution that I have implemented.
Can someone help??
I use this trick a lot in my apps. You want to listen to UIKeyboardWillShowNotification and UIKeyboardWillHideNotification.
The best way to handle animation in my opinion is using autolayout. When you call [self.view layoutIfNeeded]; your views will move along with the keyboard animation. No animation block needed.
I've set up a simple project for anyone to try and see how it works!
- (void)addKeyboardNotificationsObserver {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(handleKeyboardWillShow:) name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(handleKeyboardWillHide:) name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
}
- (void)handleKeyboardWillShow:(NSNotification *)paramNotification
{
NSDictionary* info = [paramNotification userInfo];
//when switching languages keyboard might change its height (emoji keyboard is higher than most keyboards).
//You can get both sizes of the previous keyboard and the new one from info dictionary.
// size of the keyb that is about to disappear
CGSize kbSize = [[info objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size;
// size of the keyb that is about to appear
CGSize kbSizeNew = [[info objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size;
//make adjustments to constraints here...
//and here where's magick happen!
[self.view layoutIfNeeded];
}
- (void)handleKeyboardWillHide:(NSNotification *)paramNotification
{
//adjust constraints
[self.view layoutIfNeeded];
}
You can use UIKeyboardWillShowNotification and UIKeyboardWillHideNotification
Try TPKeyboardAvoidingScrollView from here: https://github.com/michaeltyson/TPKeyboardAvoiding (my choice)

Whatsapp style - keyboard appear under the toolbar

How do I do it whatsapp style, where the message space, when clicked, would push a keyboard up from the bottom, as well as pushing the toolbar up as well. And then when cancelled (i.e. clicking in the background), it'll push the keyboard back down with the toolbar
This is done with the UIKeyboardWillShowNotification, UIKeyboardDidShowNotification, UIKeyboardWillHideNotification and UIKeyboardDidHideNotification notifications.
Then when you handle the notification you adjust the height of the frame:
For example:
- (void) keyboardWillShow:(NSNotification *)aNotification{
NSDictionary* info = [aNotification userInfo];
NSTimeInterval duration = [[info objectForKey:UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] doubleValue];
NSValue* aValue = [info objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey];
CGFloat keyboardHeight = [aValue CGRectValue].size.height;
self.keyboardVissible = YES;
[UIView animateWithDuration:duration animations:^{
CGRect frame = self.contentView.frame;
frame.size.height -= keyboardHeight;
self.contentView.frame = frame;
}];
}
You will need to register to receive the notification, you should only listen to the keyboard notification when the view is visible, strange thing could happen if you do it in the viewDidLoad:
- (void) viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(keyboardWillShow:) name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(keyboardWillHide:) name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
}
- (void) viewDidDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewDidDisappear:animated];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
}
