How to stop iOS keyboard interfering with UITextField position - ios

Question

I have a problem where the keyboard dismissal, I think interferes with the animation code I have. What I would like to happen is if the user clicks the search button while the keyboard is up, the keyboard drops and the text field will animate to the top of the screen.
Like in this image.

However, what actually happens if the search button is pressed while the keyboard is up, is this.

Here is the code for the Search button:
- (IBAction)searchButton:(id)sender {
[self.view endEditing:YES];
[UIView transitionWithView:_enterRoomLabel
duration:0.4
options:UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionCrossDissolve
animations:NULL
completion:NULL];
_enterRoomLabel.hidden = YES;
[_srcButton setHidden:YES];
[_srcAgainButton setHidden:NO];
[UITextField beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UITextField setAnimationBeginsFromCurrentState:YES];
[UITextField setAnimationDelegate:self];
[UITextField setAnimationDuration:0.3];
_roomCodeInput.frame = CGRectMake(_roomCodeInput.frame.origin.x - 0.0, (_roomCodeInput.frame.origin.y - 105.0), _roomCodeInput.frame.size.width + 0.0, _roomCodeInput.frame.size.height);
[UITextField commitAnimations];
}
Search Again button
- (IBAction)searchAgainButton:(id)sender {
[self.view endEditing:YES];
[UIView transitionWithView:_enterRoomLabel
duration:0.6
options:UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionCrossDissolve
animations:NULL
completion:NULL];
_enterRoomLabel.hidden = NO;
[_srcButton setHidden:NO];
[_srcAgainButton setHidden:YES];
[UITextField beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UITextField setAnimationBeginsFromCurrentState:YES];
[UITextField setAnimationDelegate:self];
[UITextField setAnimationDuration:0.3];
_roomCodeInput.frame = CGRectMake(_roomCodeInput.frame.origin.x + 0.0, (_roomCodeInput.frame.origin.y + 105.0), _roomCodeInput.frame.size.width - 0.0, _roomCodeInput.frame.size.height + 0.0);
[UITextField commitAnimations];
}
And here are the methods I'm using to dismiss the keyboard
UITapGestureRecognizer* tapGesture = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc]initWithTarget:self action:#selector(dismissKeyboard)];
tapGesture.cancelsTouchesInView = NO;
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:tapGesture];
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField {
[_roomCodeInput resignFirstResponder];
return NO;
}
-(void)dismissKeyboard{
[_roomCodeInput resignFirstResponder];
}
I'm just trying to find the best solution to solve this problem or perhaps re-design to something similar.
Any Help would be greatly appreciated! :)

Answer 1

Replace your code as follows:
Hope it will work now
Search button:
- (IBAction)searchButton:(id)sender {
//[UITextField commitAnimations];
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5 animations:^{
_enterRoomLabel.hidden = YES;
[_srcButton setHidden:YES];
[_srcAgainButton setHidden:NO];
_roomCodeInput.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(0.0, -100.0);
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
// when animation
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5 animations:^{
}];
}];
}
Search Again button
- (IBAction)searchAgainButton:(id)sender {
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5 animations:^{
_enterRoomLabel.hidden = NO;
[_srcAgainButton setHidden:YES];
_roomCodeInput.text=Nil;
_roomCodeInput.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(0.0, 0.0);
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
// when animation
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5 animations:^{
[_srcButton setHidden:NO];
}];
}];

NSArray * vertConstraint;
UIButton * button;
UITextField * textField;
-(void)search{
[self.view removeConstraints:vertConstraint];
NSDictionary * viewsDictionary = NSDictionaryOfVariableBindings(button, textField);
NSArray * newVertConstraint = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:#"V:|-5-[textField(==30)]-(>=10)-[button]-10-|" options:0 metrics: 0 views:viewsDictionary];
[self.view addConstraints:newVertConstraint];
[textField resignFirstResponder];
[self.view setNeedsUpdateConstraints];
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5 animations:^{
[self.view layoutIfNeeded];
}];
vertConstraint = newVertConstraint;
}
self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = NO;
button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
[button addTarget:self action:#selector(search) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[button setTitle:#"Search" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
button.frame = CGRectMake(80.0, 210.0, 160.0, 40.0);
[self.view addSubview:button];
textField = [[UITextField alloc] init];
textField.layer.borderWidth = 5;
textField.layer.borderColor = [UIColor redColor].CGColor;
[self.view addSubview:textField];
[textField setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints: NO];
[button setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints: NO];
NSDictionary * viewsDictionary = NSDictionaryOfVariableBindings(button, textField);
[self.view addConstraints:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:#"H:|-20-[textField]-20-|" options:0 metrics: 0 views:viewsDictionary]];
[self.view addConstraints:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:#"H:|-20-[button]-20-|" options:0 metrics: 0 views:viewsDictionary]];
vertConstraint = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:#"V:|-100-[textField(==30)]-10-[button]" options:0 metrics: 0 views:viewsDictionary];
[self.view addConstraints:vertConstraint];
[textField becomeFirstResponder];
