Tableview content data - uitableview

I have tableview inside view controller.
At the bottom there is a textfield and when user click it textfield move up with keyboard. and also tableview move too.
If i have small (just 2-3 line) data in tableview when textfield move up then I can not see my data until keyboard disappear.
I tried to change tableview contentinset values but it did not work for me.
This is my code when move up the my textfield area.
if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.CGRectValue() {
if self.view.frame.origin.y == 0{
tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, keyboardSize.height, 0)
self.messageView.frame.origin.y -= keyboardSize.height
}
}
I think I lose my data because I also move up to view too. But I Can not find any solution.
How can I see the data? How can I fix my problem?
Thanks

How can I keep UITableView in view when keyboard appears?

I'm trying to create a page in an app that's your standard style messaging screen. I'm having trouble getting everything to position correctly when the keyboard slides into view. I'll post screenshots (sadly not inline), but here is my structure:
VIEWCONTROLLER
|-View
|-Scroll View
|-Content View
|-TextField
|-TableView (messages)
Everything is showing up as I would like it to when first loaded: If there aren't enough messages to fill the screen, the messages start at the top followed by a gap, and the text field is pinned to the bottom. Nothing scrolls. If there are a lot of messages, I am successfully scrolling the table to the last row and the textfield is pinned to the bottom of the screen still.
When the textfield is activated however, and there aren't a lot of messages, the gap between the table and the textfield remains and the messages are pushed out of view to the top.
I am trying to get the gap to shrink so the messages stay. This is standard in other messaging apps, but I cannot figure out how to do it
Initial view
Textfield activated, keyboard appears
Scrolling to display messages hides the textfield
UI Layout and constraints
Lastly, here is the code I have for keyboardWillShow. You'll notice some comments of things I have tried unsuccessfully.
func keyboardWillShow(notification:NSNotification) {
var userInfo = notification.userInfo!
let keyboardFrame = (userInfo[UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue.size
let contentInsets: UIEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.0, 0.0, keyboardFrame!.height, 0.0)
self.scrollView.contentInset = contentInsets
self.scrollView.scrollIndicatorInsets = contentInsets
// scrollViewBottomConstraint.constant = keyboardFrame!.height - bottomLayoutGuide.length
// contentViewHeightConstraint.constant = -keyboardFrame!.height
// self.notificationReplyTable.frame.size.height -= keyboardFrame!.height
var aRect: CGRect = self.view.frame
aRect.size.height -= keyboardFrame!.height
if let activeField = self.activeField {
if(!aRect.contains(activeField.frame.origin)) {
self.scrollView.scrollRectToVisible(activeField.frame, animated: true)
}
}
}
I feel like the piece I'm missing is pretty small, but just don't know enough Swift 3 to nail this. Thank you for your help!
Edit: the problem is similar to this question with no accepted answer.
A way to this is to set up vertical autolayout constraints like this (but you will need a reference to the actual bottomMargin constraint to be able to modify it) :
"V:|[scrollView][textField]-(bottomMargin)-|"
The first time you arrive on the screen, bottomMargin is set to 0.
Then when keyboardWillShow is called, get the keyboard frame (cf How to get height of Keyboard?)
func keyboardWillShow(_ notification: Notification) {
if let keyboardFrame: NSValue = notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue {
let keyboardRectangle = keyboardFrame.cgRectValue
let keyboardHeight = keyboardRectangle.height
}
}
And animate the constraint bottomMargin to get the height of the keyboard (the duration is 0.3 after some tests, but you can adjust it) :
bottomConstraint.constant = keyboardHeight
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3, delay: 0, options: nil, animations: {
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}
That means that every time the keyboard will appear, an animation will move up the text field, hence the scroll view height will be smaller and everything will fit in the screen.
!! Don't forget to test it on landscape mode if you support it, and on iPad too!!
Finally, handle the case when the keyboard will disappear in the keyboardWillHide and set bottomMargin back to 0 :
func keyboardWillHide(_ notification: Notification) {
bottomConstraint.constant = 0
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3, delay: 0, options: nil, animations: {
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}
}

UITextView with other elements (similar to Evernote) iOS

I'm trying to implement a view very similar to Evernote's screen in which you add a New Note.
It seems like a UITableView embedded in a NavigationController. This tableview contains static cells (2 or 3) with the bottom one being a UITextView in which you add the content of the note, but when you scroll on the textView, the other cells that contain a textField and another control.
How can this be achieved? I know that Apple doesn't recommend a TextView inside a ScrollView, and doing it with table view it gets a bit weird with all the scrolling from the table and text view.
Here are some examples:
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
Firstly, They disabled text view scrolling and set its size to about screen size. Secondly, once text view's text is out of frame, expand it(calculate its size again).
So I found my problem, when I was setting the constraints for the content view (view inside scrollview) I set an Equal value for its height. To fix it I just made that relationship to Greater or Equal than... it now expands.
The other problem now is that when showing the keyboard it is not scrolling to the text I tap to. (The insets are properly setup though)
// MARK: Notififations from the Keyboard
func didShowKeyboard (notification: NSNotification) {
if momentTextView.isFirstResponder() {
if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.CGRectValue() {
scrollView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: 0, bottom: keyboardSize.size.height, right: 0)
scrollView.scrollIndicatorInsets = scrollView.contentInset
let caretPosition = momentTextView.caretRectForPosition(momentTextView.selectedTextRange!.start)
let newHeight = caretPosition.height * 1.5
let newCaretPosition = CGRect(x: caretPosition.origin.x, y: caretPosition.origin.y, width: caretPosition.width, height: newHeight)
scrollView.scrollRectToVisible(newCaretPosition, animated: true)
}
}
}
func willHideKeyboard (notification: NSNotification) {
if momentTextView.isFirstResponder() {
scrollView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsZero
scrollView.scrollIndicatorInsets = UIEdgeInsetsZero
}
}

Tableview is not remaining same when keyboard appears

I researched all over stackoverflow. I found too many solutions but they did not work properly. This is a typical ios question.
I have to move tableview when the keyboard appears. I tried following code:
func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
var info = notification.userInfo!
let keyboardFrame: CGRect = (info[UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as! NSValue).CGRectValue()
let edgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, keyboardFrame.size.height, 0)
self.tableView.contentInset = edgeInsets
self.tableView.scrollIndicatorInsets = edgeInsets
}
State 1: There is no keyboard and everything looks fine:
State 2: The keyboard appeared, and tableview is not showing the last row. You can compare with state 1.
How can I do this thing properly? If user scrolled to top then when touches the textfield, tableview should show same position, no last row. I mean I don't want any scroll to bottom code when keyboard appears. Tableview should remain same with/without keypoard appear status. You can check the Whatsapp I need exact same mechanism. How can I do this?
PS: Don't mind the textfield, I removed their move to above of keyboard code in order to test tableview.

Maintain visibility of focused UITextView in a UITableView when showing Keyboard

I am building a form dynamically that has various types of UI elements for each UITableViewCell.
There is one UITableViewCell that contains a UITextView and I want to be able to maintain visibility when showing the keyboard. I have looked at the other similar questions, but have been unable to find a solution.
I wrote the Swift version of what is recommended by: Apple's Managing Keyboard
It does not work for two reasons.
1.) The Keyboard notification is fired before the TextViewWillBeginEditing.
2.) The frame of the UITextView is in relation to the superview which is the UITableViewCell, so the check is wrong.
Here is my current code:
func adjustTableViewForKeyboard(notification: NSNotification) {
let userInfo = notification.userInfo!
let keyboardScreenEndFrame = (userInfo[UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as! NSValue).CGRectValue()
let keyboardViewEndFrame = view.convertRect(keyboardScreenEndFrame, fromView: view.window)
if notification.name == UIKeyboardWillHideNotification {
self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsZero
} else {
self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: 0, bottom: keyboardViewEndFrame.height, right: 0)
rect = self.view.frame;
rect!.size.height -= keyboardViewEndFrame.height
}
self.tableView.scrollIndicatorInsets = self.tableView.contentInset
}
func textViewDidBeginEditing(textView: UITextView) {
self.activeTextView = textView;
if(activeTextView != nil){
// This check does NOT work due to the TextView's superview is the cell.
if(!CGRectContainsPoint(rect!, (activeTextView?.frame.origin)!)){
self.tableView.scrollRectToVisible((activeTextView?.frame)!, animated: true)
}
}
}
This works in terms of being able to scroll to all cells, but I also want to make sure the UITextView is not hidden by keyboard.
You may be able to use the responder chain to solve this. In your notification handler, try calling isFirstResponder() on your text view; if it returns true, then you can call the table view-scrolling code from there.
I had a similar issue with a (albeit static cell) form I was building, I was able to use the scrollToRowAtIndexPath method to update the tableview's row positioning to keep my text view on screen.
func textViewDidBeginEditing(textView: UITextView) {
if textView == notesTextView {
tableView.scrollToRowAtIndexPath(NSIndexPath(forRow: 0, inSection: 3), atScrollPosition: .Top, animated: true)
}
}
It does require knowledge of the index path section/row and the text view reference in case of multiples, but might be of use?
scrollRectToVisible should also work, but sounds like you have to convert the textview's frame to coordinate system of the scrollview using convertRect:toView or similar first.
Hope this helps - Cheers.

UIView disappears when keyboard pops up for UITextField

I have an UITextField inside of a container view, when the keyboard pops up the container view disappears. In the same container view is a UICollectionView, whose custom cells each contains a UITextField and the keyboard works just fine for them.
I printed out the frame of the container view in the animation function that is called by keyboardWillShow and the container view's frames are the same for both cases, so it looks like the container view just disappears (instead of "not moved" as i thought) when that specific UITextField is selected. The relevant code is :
func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
if let userInfo = notification.userInfo {
if let keyboardSize = (userInfo[UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.CGRectValue() {
kbHeight = keyboardSize.height
self.animateDurationView(true)
}
}
}
func keyboardWillHide(notification: NSNotification) {
self.animateDurationView(false)
}
func animateDurationView(up: Bool) {
var movement = up ? -kbHeight : kbHeight
println(movement)
UIView.animateWithDuration(0.3, animations: {
self.durationView.frame = CGRectOffset(self.durationView.frame, 0, movement)
println(self.durationView.frame)
})
}
the screenshots can be found in this thread: KeyboardWillShow only moves container UIView for certain UITextFields
EDIT: at this point I am almost certain that it is the auto layout constraints that are screwing with me.
Try adding commitAnimations at the end of each animation transaction :) Me too I faced this issue... Now it is working fine.. You can add delegate to the textfield and you can move it delegate methods DidBeginEditing and DidEndEditing methods for textfield :)
Just had the same issue. What I did wrong was trying to apply the movement to an inner view. Moving the outermost view made it work as this outer view does not have any auto layout constraints.
So to answer the question - if anyone else should get here
Only move the self.view
