Add UITextField above keyboard iOS - ios

Question

In my app I'm trying to add a UITextField on a accessoryView. It should work as follow:
I press on a UITextField in the user interface of app
The keyboard pop up and cover my UITextField on the user interface
To edit text I wanted to show a UITextField in an accessoryView just above the keyboard
I looked on the web but I found only stuff to add button on an accessoryView, I hope you can help me to find a solution to add an UITextField on an accessoryView.
Thank you
UPDATE
This is what I mean:
I hope you understand better my question, I'm not looking for a solution that should user scroll view or something, I don't want to change the interface of my app...

Answer 1

in .h
UIView *customtoolbar;
in .m At viewdidload add thi code
customtoolbar=[[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, self.view.frame.size.height+50, 320, 50)];`
after this add this methods
-(BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField{
[self pressdone];
return YES;
}
-(BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
//216 is keyboard default height in portrait(162 in landscape)
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.7 animations:^{
[self addtoolbar:CGRectMake(0, self.view.frame.size.height-216-50, 320, 50)];
}];
return YES;
}
-(UIView *)addtoolbar:(CGRect )frame{
customtoolbar.frame=frame;
customtoolbar.backgroundColor=[UIColor darkGrayColor];
//give new frame to your textfield
txtfld.frame=CGRectMake(5,10, 220, 30);
[customtoolbar addSubview:txtfld];
UIButton *done=[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
done.frame=CGRectMake(235,10, 60, 30);
[done setTitleColor:[UIColor whiteColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[done setTitle:#"Done" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[done addTarget:self action:#selector(pressdone) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[customtoolbar addSubview:done];
[self.view addSubview:customtoolbar];
return customtoolbar;
}
-(void)pressdone{
[self addtoolbar:CGRectMake(0, self.view.frame.size.height+50, 320, 50)];
//set there orignal frame of your textfield
txtfld.frame=CGRectMake(95, 170, 123, 37);
[self.view addSubview:txtfld];
[txtfld resignFirstResponder];
}

Answer 2

Add a view and then on top of it, please put a textfield and try. Below is the code.
UIView * container = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 40)];
[container setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
UITextField * newTextfield = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(50, 0, 100, 44)];
[newTextfield setBackgroundColor:[UIColor yellowColor]];
[container addSubview:newTextfield];
self.textField.inputAccessoryView = container;
This contains some colors, just to distinguish and identify the views. Change and format according to your needs. It will work. :)

Answer 3

you can use scroll view for this in your app & set content offset
- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
self.scroll.contentOffset = CGPointMake(0, textField.frame.origin.y);
}
i hope this is relevent to your problem

Answer 4

This is what i have done in my apps
Add observers to UIKeyboardWillHideNotification & UIKeyboardWillShowNotification
When u review notification resize your view keyboardFrame
double duration = [[notification userInfo][UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] doubleValue];
int curve = [[notification userInfo][UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey] intValue];
NSValue *value = [notification userInfo][UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey];
CGRect rawFrame = [value CGRectValue];
CGRect keyboardFrame = [self.view convertRect:rawFrame fromView:nil];
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:duration];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:curve];
// Resize your View
[UIView commitAnimations]
