Making a UITableView scroll when text field is selected
(45 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I have an application with a UITableview and a UITextView, so sometimes the keyboard is up. Whenever the keyboard is up, I can't access the bottom 3-4 table cells because they are always stuck behind the keyboard. How can I make the UITableView only take up the space above the keyboard while the keyboard is displayed?
I normally use https://github.com/michaeltyson/TPKeyboardAvoiding
Which will automatically solve your normal problem
But if you want to do some coding manually
Use table views setContentOffset or scrollToRowAtIndexPath
CGPoint scrollPt = CGPointMake(textFieldRect.origin.x, textFieldRect.origin.y);
[_tableView setContentOffset:scrollPt animated:YES];
UITableViewCell *cell = (UITableViewCell*) [[textField superview] superview];
[_tableView scrollToRowAtIndexPath:[_tableView indexPathForCell:cell] atScrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionTop animated:YES];
I've had the same problem, and here is my solution. Hope it helps.
- (void) keyboardWillShow: (NSNotification*) aNotification
{
[UIView animateWithDuration: [self keyboardAnimationDurationForNotification: aNotification] animations:^{
CGSize kbSize = [[[aNotification userInfo] objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size;
//change the frame of your talbleiview via kbsize.height
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
}];
}
- (void) keyboardDidShow: (NSNotification*) aNotification
{
[UIView animateWithDuration: [self keyboardAnimationDurationForNotification: aNotification] animations:^{
CGSize kbSize = [[[aNotification userInfo] objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size;
//change the frame of your talbleiview via kbsize.height
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
}];
}
- (void) keyboardWillDisappear: (NSNotification*) aNotification
{
[UIView animateWithDuration: [self keyboardAnimationDurationForNotification: aNotification] animations:^{
//restore your tableview
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
}];
}
- (NSTimeInterval) keyboardAnimationDurationForNotification:(NSNotification*)notification
{
NSDictionary* info = [notification userInfo];
NSValue* value = [info objectForKey: UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey];
NSTimeInterval duration = 0;
[value getValue: &duration];
return duration;
}
Add and remove event listeners.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver: self
selector: #selector(keyboardWillShow:)
name: UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver: self
selector: #selector(keyboardDidShow:)
name: UIKeyboardDidShowNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver: self
selector: #selector(keyboardWillDisappear:)
name: UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
}
- (void) dealloc
{
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver: self name: UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object: nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver: self name: UIKeyboardDidShowNotification object: nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver: self name: UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object: nil];
}
Methion that multi events will be received during one keyboard animation.
Try this:
CGRect frame = [tableViewer frame]; //assuming tableViewer is your tableview
frame.size.height -= 200; //200 may be a bit off, should be height of keyboard
[tableViewer setFrame:frame];
And the same thing but change -= to += for when the keyboard disappears.

I have the following view hierarchy. View->container->2 UITextfields and 1 button in containerView. The container is in the center of the screen. What I want to do is to move the container up when keyboard appears and UITextfield is behind the keyboard and move back to center when keyboard disappear. Here is the screenshot for the same.
What constraints do I need to change or do I need to add constraints in code ?
Get the frame of the container while keyboard show and update the new frame size. 'setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints' is the right solution while updating frame of a view.It worked for me
#implementation ViewController
{
CGRect defaultFrame;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(keyboardWillShow:) name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(keyboardWillHide:) name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
}
#pragma mark Notifications
- (void)keyboardWillShow:(NSNotification *)notification {
CGSize keyboardSize = [[[notification userInfo] objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size;
defaultFrame = self.ContentView.frame;
[self.ContentView setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints:YES];
[self.ContentView layoutIfNeeded];
CGRect contentInsets = CGRectMake(defaultFrame.origin.x, (keyboardSize.height), defaultFrame.size.width, defaultFrame.size.height);
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5f
animations:^{
self.ContentView.frame = contentInsets;
}
completion:^(BOOL finished){
}
];
self.ContentView.frame = contentInsets;
}
- (void)keyboardWillHide:(NSNotification *)notification {
[self.ContentView setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints:NO];
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5f
animations:^{
self.ContentView.frame = defaultFrame;
}
completion:^(BOOL finished){
}
];
}
As I understand the question, you are trying to shift the entire view when the UITextField becomes the first responder (i.e. adds the keyboard to the view)? If that is the case, I would add code in the UITextField delegate method:
#define VIEW_TAG 12345
#define kKeyboardOffsetY 80.0f
- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
// get a reference to the view you want to move when editing begins
// which can be done by setting the tag of the container view to VIEW_TAG
UIView *containerView = (UIView *)[self.view viewWithTag:VIEW_TAG];
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3 animations:^{
containerView.frame = CGRectMake(0.0f, -kKeyboardOffsetY, containerView.frame.size.width, containerView.frame.size.height);
}];
}
- (void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
UIView *containerView = (UIView *)[self.view viewWithTag:VIEW_TAG];
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3 animations:^{
containerView.frame = CGRectMake(0.0f, self.view.frame.origin.y, containerView.frame.size.width, containerView.frame.size.height);
}];
}
add UITextFieldDelegate in .h file
and try the following code it will surely help you
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
if (textField == username)
{
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(keyboardWillShow:) name:UIKeyboardDidShowNotification object:nil];
}
if (textField == password)
{
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(keyboardWillShow:) name:UIKeyboardDidShowNotification object:nil];
}
return YES;
}
- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
}
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
if (textField == username)
{
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(keyboardWillHide:) name:UIKeyboardDidHideNotification object:nil];
}
if (textField == password)
{
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(keyboardWillHide:) name:UIKeyboardDidShowNotification object:nil];
}
return YES;
}
- (void)keyboardWillShow:(NSNotification *)notification
{
CGSize keyboardSize = [[[notification userInfo] objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size;
float newVerticalPosition = -keyboardSize.height + 100;
[self moveFrameToVerticalPosition:newVerticalPosition forDuration:0.3f];
}
- (void)keyboardWillHide:(NSNotification *)notification
{
CGFloat kNavBarHeight = self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame.size.height;
[self moveFrameToVerticalPosition:kNavBarHeight forDuration:0.3f];
}
- (void)moveFrameToVerticalPosition:(float)position forDuration:(float)duration
{
CGRect frame = self.view.frame;
frame.origin.y = position;
[UIView animateWithDuration:duration animations:^{
self.view.frame = frame;
}];
}
Take IBOutlet of your bottom constraint or top constraint of container view by ctrl+drag from respactive constraint.
If bottom constraint then increase the constant of constraint equal to keyboard height when keyboard appears and decrease same when keyboard disappear.
If using top constraint then decrease the constant equal to keyboard height when keyboard appears and increase same when keyboard disappear.
for example,
topConstraint.constant = topConstraint.constant + keyboardHeight;
Update :
According to your constraint you should take outlet of vertically center or center x and you should do something like,
self.verticallyCenter.constant = self.horizontalyCenter.constant - 100 //here 100 is keyboardheight for example and do it in viewdidload
By this your container view will goes up to 100 pixels.
when resign keyboard you can add 100 to it's constant to get initial position back.
Hope this will help :)
Seems like you have given correct constraints all you need to do now is to make a outlet of centre y constraint and change it's constant on keyboard show/hide events, Which you can grab with keyboardDidShow/keyboardWillShow and keyboardDidHide/keyboardWillHide notifications. that said you can also add cool animation effects for these changes. Try out let me know if you need example.
Edit:
add your viewcontroller as observer for two Notifications:
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(keyboardWasShown:)
name:UIKeyboardDidShowNotification
object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(keyboardDidHide:)
name:UIKeyboardDidHideNotification
object:nil];
Now suppose name of your constraint is "constraintForTopSpace",then add two methods for the notifications:
- (void)keyboardWasShown:(NSNotification *)notification {
// Get the size of the keyboard.
CGSize keyboardSize = [[[notification userInfo] objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size;
//Given size may not account for screen rotation
int height = MIN(keyboardSize.height,keyboardSize.width);
// Here you can set your constraint's constant to lift your container up.
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5 animations:^{
[constraintForTopSpace setConstant:constraintForTopSpace.constant - height];
[self.view layoutIfNeeded];
}];
}
- (void)keyboardDidHide:(NSNotification *)notification {
CGSize keyboardSize = [[[notification userInfo] objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size;
int height = MIN(keyboardSize.height,keyboardSize.width);
// Here you can set your constraint's constant to move your container down.
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5 animations:^{
[constraintForTopSpace setConstant:constraintForTopSpace.constant + height];
[self.view layoutIfNeeded];
}];
}
And you can also use UIKeyboardWillShowNotification/UIKeyboardWillHideNotification notification they will be triggered before the keyboard appears on screen, Its up to your requirements.
Here adding animation will give smooth look and feel. ;)
I have an application on iPhone who has much content in viewcontroller. Generally the main content is form. My problem is that I put up keyboard and want to type some value to form fields much of content is invisible. I want to scroll this content when keyboard appear. How can I do this?
My view does'n have scroll view however I tried do this but it don't works.
All hints I found so far concern how to put up used textbox, but this is not my assumption.
This is what i did, I changed the top constraint when keyboard rises up and down like this-
in viewDidLoad call this method-
[self observeKeyboard];
#pragma mark- Keyboard Listen Methods
- (void)observeKeyboard {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(keyboardWillShow:) name:UIKeyboardWillChangeFrameNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(keyboardWillHide:) name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
}
- (void)keyboardWillShow:(NSNotification *)notification {
NSDictionary *info = [notification userInfo];
NSValue *kbFrame = [info objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey];
NSTimeInterval animationDuration = [[info objectForKey:UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] doubleValue];
CGRect keyboardFrame = [kbFrame CGRectValue];
CGFloat height = keyboardFrame.size.height;
self.COnstraintTopViewVertical.constant=(value of constant)-height;
[UIView animateWithDuration:animationDuration animations:^{
[self.view layoutIfNeeded];
}];
}
- (void)keyboardWillHide:(NSNotification *)notification {
NSDictionary *info = [notification userInfo];
NSTimeInterval animationDuration = [[info objectForKey:UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] doubleValue];
self.ConstraintTopViewVertical.constant=reset value;
[UIView animateWithDuration:animationDuration animations:^{
[self.view layoutIfNeeded];
}];
}
You can programmatically change position in the view upon keyboard appearance with the following code:
func keyboardWasShown(notification: NSNotification) {
UIView.animateWithDuration(0.3, animations: { () -> Void in
self.setContentOffset(CGPoint(x: setXOffsetHere, y: setYOffsetHere), animated: true)
})
}
This code will transition the view to the coordinates you specify in .setContentOffset call after keyboard appearance. You still have to get the coordinates, but usually they are pretty straightforward to get from storyboard.
Put all your views in a scroll view
Set an auto layout constraint from the bottom of the scroll view to the bottom of the superview
In viewWillAppear
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(keyboardWillChangeFrame:)
name:UIKeyboardWillChangeFrameNotification object:nil];
Handle the KB notification
- (void)keyboardWillChangeFrame:(NSNotification*)aNotification
{
CGRect kbFrame = [aNotification.userInfo[UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] CGRectValue];
CGRect kbWindowIntersectionFrame = CGRectIntersection(self.view.window.bounds, kbFrame);
[UIView animateWithDuration:[aNotification.userInfo[UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] doubleValue] animations:^{
self.scrollVBottomConstraint.constant = kbWindowIntersectionFrame.size.height;
[self.view layoutIfNeeded];
}];
}
what i got from your question is: you are using textfield on UIView which is not on the scrollview, now you have to scroll the UIView when keyboard appears. just do following stuff.
-Give the tag to your textfield.
-suppose tag you have given is 4545646
-do not forgot to assign delegate to your textfield (it will execute below delegate method when you start to edit)
- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
if (textField.tag == 4545646) {
UIView *contanerView = [self.view viewWithTag:5556466];
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5 animations:^{
contanerView.frame = CGRectMake(self.view.frame.origin.x+1, -85, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height-9);
}];
}
}
Change the frame as per your requirement.
and
- (void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
if (textField.tag == 4545646) {
[textField resignFirstResponder];
UIView *contanerView = [self.view viewWithTag:5556466];
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5 animations:^{
contanerView.frame = CGRectMake(self.view.frame.origin.x+1, self.view.frame.origin.y, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height);
}];
}
In viewDidAppear add the following notifications
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(keyBoardShown:) name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(keyBoardDismiss:) name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
and in keyBoardShown method get the keyboard height
- (void)keyBoardShown:(NSNotification*)notification
{
if(self.view.frame.origin.y>=0)
{
NSDictionary* keyboardInfo = [notification userInfo];
NSValue* keyboardFrameBegin = [keyboardInfo valueForKey:UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey];
CGRect keyboardFrameBeginRect = [keyboardFrameBegin CGRectValue];
// NSLog(#"hihi : %f",keyboardFrameBeginRect.size.height);
keyBoardHeight = keyboardFrameBeginRect.size.height-yDeault+50;
if (keyBoardHeight>0) {
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseOut];
self.view.frame = CGRectMake(self.view.frame.origin.x, (self.view.frame.origin.y-keyBoardHeight), self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height);
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
}
}
in keyBoardDismiss setback the mainview y coordinate to previous value
-(void)keyBoardDismiss:(NSNotification*)notification{
if(self.view.frame.origin.y<0){
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseOut];
self.view.frame = CGRectMake(self.view.frame.origin.x, (self.view.frame.origin.y+keyBoardHeight), self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height);
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
}
here yDeault is textfield y coordinate value
yDeault= screenHeight-textField.frame.origin.y+textField.frame.size.height;
Once the keyboard is shown main view will be moved up and once keyboard is dismissed main view will be moved back to the original position
OK. I done this. I need to just add scroll view but in my app probably I have to reconstruct all my view.
No need to add scrollview. Directly you can do this. You can change the self.view.frame without the need of scrollview.
I have a view with 1. Navigation bar 2.UITableView 3. UITextView.
When I start to edit the textView, a keyboard comes up and I need to animate the TextView and TableView up. I've implemented: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8704371/1808179, but that animated the entire view up, covering the navigation bar.
I tried individually animating the textView like:
- (void)keyboardWillShow:(NSNotification*)notification
{
CGRect chatTextFieldFrame = CGRectMake(chatTextField.frame.origin.x,chatTextField.frame.origin.y-218,chatTextField.frame.size.width,chatTextField.frame.size.height);
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5 animations:^{ chatTextField.frame = chatTextFieldFrame;}];
}
But it doesn't animate, and it won't synchronously animate alongside the TableView.
What is the best way to animate the tableView and textView up without overlaying the navigation bar?
I generally use the follow snippet when tackling this problem.
Using a UITableView (which is just a subclass of UIScrollView) you should set contentInsets rather then just changing the frame each time. This is especially much nicer in iOS7 with a translucent keyboard.
- (void)viewDidLoad;
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(keyboardWillShow:) name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(keyboardWillHide:) name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
}
- (void)dealloc;
{
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
}
#pragma mark - Keyboard Notifications
- (void)keyboardWillShow:(NSNotification *)notification;
{
NSDictionary *userInfo = [notification userInfo];
NSValue *keyboardBoundsValue = [userInfo objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey];
CGFloat keyboardHeight = [keyboardBoundsValue CGRectValue].size.height;
CGFloat duration = [[userInfo objectForKey:UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] floatValue];
NSInteger animationCurve = [[userInfo objectForKey:UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey] integerValue];
UIEdgeInsets insets = [[self tableView] contentInset];
[UIView animateWithDuration:duration delay:0. options:animationCurve animations:^{
[[self tableView] setContentInset:UIEdgeInsetsMake(insets.top, insets.left, keyboardHeight, insets.right)];
[[self view] layoutIfNeeded];
} completion:nil];
}
- (void)keyboardWillHide:(NSNotification *)notification;
{
NSDictionary *userInfo = [notification userInfo];
CGFloat duration = [[userInfo objectForKey:UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] floatValue];
NSInteger animationCurve = [[userInfo objectForKey:UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey] integerValue];
UIEdgeInsets insets = [[self tableView] contentInset];
[UIView animateWithDuration:duration delay:0. options:animationCurve animations:^{
[[self tableView] setContentInset:UIEdgeInsetsMake(insets.top, insets.left, 0., insets.right)];
[[self view] layoutIfNeeded];
} completion:nil];
}
If any are wondering, this is how I did it:
- (void)keyboardWillShow:(NSNotification*)notification
{
CGRect chatTableViewFrame = CGRectMake(0,65,320,chatTableView.frame.size.height-180);
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3 animations:^{ chatTableView.frame = chatTableViewFrame;}];
CGRect chatTextFieldFrame = CGRectMake(chatTextField.frame.origin.x,chatTextField.frame.origin.y-170,chatTextField.frame.size.width,chatTextField.frame.size.height);
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3 animations:^{ chatTextField.frame = chatTextFieldFrame;}];
[self.chatTableView scrollToRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:self.chat.count-1 inSection:0] atScrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionBottom animated:YES];
}
And vice-versa for keyboardWillHide.
Write this line at desired events.
self.view.frame = [[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame];
On my iPhone app i have a UIWebView with toolbars above an below it. the toolbar on the bottom contains a text box for the user to input some text. but when i click on the text box, the keyboard covers the bottom half of the screen.
how do i make it so that the toolbars stay above and below the webview but the the height of the webview shrinks for the keyboard to be displayed?
any guidance on this is appreciated.
thanks in advanced.
To shrink webView you need the following:
- (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) viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillDisappear:animated];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
}
- (void)keyboardWillShow:(NSNotification *)notification
{
CGRect keyboardFrame = [notification.userInfo[UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] CGRectValue];
keyboardFrame = [self.view convertRect:keyboardFrame fromView:self.view.window];
NSTimeInterval keyboardAnimationDuration = [notification.userInfo[UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] doubleValue];
UIViewAnimationOptions keyboardAnimationCurve = [notification.userInfo[UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey] integerValue] << 16;
CGFloat keyboardHeight = keyboardFrame.size.height;
[UIView animateWithDuration:keyboardAnimationDuration delay:0 options:keyboardAnimationCurve
animations:^{
_webView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, keyboardHeight, 0)
}
completion:NULL];
}
- (void)keyboardWillHide:(NSNotification *)notification
{
NSTimeInterval keyboardAnimationDuration = [notification.userInfo[UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] doubleValue];
UIViewAnimationOptions keyboardAnimationCurve = [notification.userInfo[UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey] integerValue] << 16;
[UIView animateWithDuration:keyboardAnimationDuration delay:0 options:keyboardAnimationCurve
animations:^{
_webView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsZero;
}
completion:NULL];
}
In the case of additional subviews you should slightly change this code (add change of the frames for other subview)
You can implement UITextFieldDelegate in your UIViewController and set the UITextField delegate value to your controller and then implement textFieldDidBeginEditing and textFieldDidEndEditing methods in your controller to detect when editing starts/ends.
- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
// in case you have more than one text fields in the same view
if(textField == self.YOUR_FIELD_NAME)
// change the web view height here, you can also animate it using UIView beginAnimations
CGRect frame = self.webView.frame;
frame.size.height = 200;
self.webView.frame = frame;
}
- (void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
// do the opposite here
}
I'm trying to create a simple modal view controller that lets you edit text using a text view. However, when I present the view controller modally, it slides in from the bottom left direction instead of just sliding in from the bottom.
Here's a video of the weird effect: http://youtu.be/9M_MHA5mt1M
My controller simply watches for the keyboard to show and then resizes the text view using auto layout appropriately. Here's the code:
#import "TextPicker.h"
#interface TextPicker ()
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet NSLayoutConstraint *keyboardHeight;
#end
#implementation TextPicker
- (id)initWithText:(NSString *)text
{
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard_iPhone" bundle:nil];
self = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"textPicker"];
if (self) {
self.text = text;
}
return self;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[self observeKeyboard];
//self.textView.text = self.text;
[self.textView becomeFirstResponder];
}
- (void) viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
[self.textView resignFirstResponder];
}
- (IBAction)savePressed:(id)sender {
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
- (IBAction)cancelPressed:(id)sender {
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
}
- (void) dealloc {
[self stopObervingKeyboard];
}
- (void)observeKeyboard {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(keyboardWillShow:) name:UIKeyboardWillChangeFrameNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(keyboardWillHide:) name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
}
- (void)stopObervingKeyboard {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIKeyboardWillChangeFrameNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
}
- (void)keyboardWillShow:(NSNotification *)notification {
NSDictionary *info = [notification userInfo];
NSValue *kbFrame = [info objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey];
CGRect keyboardFrame = [kbFrame CGRectValue];
self.keyboardHeight.constant = -keyboardFrame.size.height;
NSTimeInterval animationDuration = [[info objectForKey:UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] doubleValue];
[UIView animateWithDuration:animationDuration animations:^{
[self.view layoutIfNeeded];
}];
}
- (void)keyboardWillHide:(NSNotification *)notification {
NSDictionary *info = [notification userInfo];
NSTimeInterval animationDuration = [[info objectForKey:UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] doubleValue];
self.keyboardHeight.constant = 0;
[UIView animateWithDuration:animationDuration animations:^{
[self.view layoutIfNeeded];
}];
}
- (IBAction)dismissKeyboard:(id)sender {
[self.textView resignFirstResponder];
}
#end
Your view is animating as you have asked it to by wrapping the [self.view layoutIfNeeded] call inside an animation block.
In viewDidLoad you begin observing keyboard changes, and when you detect them you animate the adjustments, this is normally correct. But then, before the view does its first layout, you show the keyboard; this results in an animation for all the views from CGRectZero to their proper sizes. And this is the effect you are seeing.
So basically you need to give the view a chance to layout before your animated layoutIfNeeded call. Probably the easiest way to do this is simply to move [self.textView becomeFirstResponder]; to either viewWillAppear: or viewDidAppear:.
*As a side note, remember to call super in appearance calls. I noticed you did not call [super viewWillDisappear];.
