can autoresizemask be applied on popovers - ipad

Again caught up in this orientation issue. I have a search screen where when a user taps on textfields a popover is displayed below that just like a dropdown menu but when the orienattion is changed to ladscape popovers appear a bit to the left .
Can this be handled(apart from managing coordinates)
Thanks in advance
tried this piece of code
- (void)willRotateFromInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)fromInterfaceOrientation{
if (isPopOverNeedToBeManaged) {
NSLog(#"Popover need to be managed");
if (popOverSender) {
NSLog(#"yes text field is there");
if (popoverController) {
[popoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:NO];
}
}
}
}
(void)didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)fromInterfaceOrientation{
if (isPopOverNeedToBeManaged) {
NSLog(#"Popover need to be managed");
if (popOverSender) {
NSLog(#"yes text field is there");
if (popoverController) {
[popoverController presentPopoverFromRect:txtDDDeliveryCenter.frame inView:subview permittedArrowDirections:0 animated:YES];
}
}
}

Watch popover behavior in any Apples native application. You'll see that in response to device rotation popover should disappear before rotation animation and appear again on new appropriate place after it ends. So you should dismiss your popover and then popup it on new place with new coordinates.
Hope that'll help

UIPopoverController isPopoverVisible returns wrong value

if([messageNotification isPopoverVisible])
[messageNotification dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
I have the above two lines of code in my project where message_Notification is a UIPopovercontroller's object.
The problem is isPopoverVisible returns false when my Popover actually presented on the main viewController. Any idea about this??
Check that message_Notification is available or not and then check for visiblity
And I think there is some inconsistency because messageNotification and message_Notification should be same as I have done in my code
if(messageNotification)
{
if([messageNotification isPopoverVisible])
{
[messageNotification dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
}
}
else
{
NSLog(#"Not availble");
}

How do I detect if keyboard is currently shown, if I transitioned from another view controller that was already showing the keyboard?

I have a view controller that makes a UITextField firstResponder on ViewWillAppear. Normally I could just rely on a UIKeyboardWillShow notification to detect if the keyboard has shown, but this won't trigger if I came into the current view controller while the keyboard was already showing.
Anyone have any ideas?
I noticed while debugging view hierarchy that when keyboard is presented there's UIRemoteKeyboardWindow in hierarchy.
First we can add extension to UIApplication to check window hierarchy for UIRemoteKeyboardWindow:
extension UIApplication {
var isKeyboardPresented: Bool {
if let keyboardWindowClass = NSClassFromString("UIRemoteKeyboardWindow"), self.windows.contains(where: { $0.isKind(of: keyboardWindowClass) }) {
return true
} else {
return false
}
}
}
Then in viewDidLoad, or where needed we can check:
if UIApplication.shared.isKeyboardPresented {
print("Keyboard is presented")
}
Although this method is not fully tested and UIRemoteKeyboardWindow is in private headers that's why NSClassFromString is needed for check. Use it with concern!
When you enter in a textField, it becomes first responder and then the keyboard will appears on your view. You can check the status of the keyboard in your viewWillAppear method [textField isFirstResponder]. If it returns YES, means your keyboard is visible.
-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated{
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
if([textField isFirstResponder]){
//visible keyboard
}
}
Edited
If you want the height than you can store the keyboard height in some class variable when it appears first time and use in viewWillAppear method
#implementation YourClass{
CGFloat keyboardSize;
}
-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated{
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
if([textField isFirstResponder]){
//user keyboardSize here
}
}

UIAlertView displaying keyboard, not able to dismiss it

I have an application that uses UIAlertView in its login Window normally:
self.customAlert = [[IFCustomAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Save Password"
message:#"¿Do you want the app to remember your password?"
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK"
otherButtonTitles:#"Cancel", nil];
The problem is... Since I updated my devices to iOS8 whenever this alertView comes up it shows the keyboard and I can't dismiss it. On iOS7 this doesn't happen.
I am resigning the responders of user and password when the send button is tapped:
-(IBAction)btnSendTapped:(id)sender{
[self.tfpass resignFirstResponder];
[self.tfuser resignFirstResponder];
}
I have tried:
[self.view endEditing:YES];
and in some alertViews it does work but in others it doesn't. My AlertViews never have text fields so I think there's no reason for this keyboard to appear.
Also the intro button on the keyboard doesn't hide it, so sometimes the OK and Cancel buttons are obstructed by the keyboard and I can't do nothing on the screen.
I think this may have something to to with the UIAlertView deprecation, but I don't know.
I also have these methods implemented:
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField{
[textField resignFirstResponder];
return true;
}
-(BOOL)textFieldShouldEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
return YES;
}
Any help would be appreciated.
I borrow solution from this blog
For me the keyboard always show up when the alertView.show() has been called.
My solution is using the didPresentALertView method for make sure this will called after the alert view popup. Then we can loop through all UIWindows and it's subviews. I detect it by description name (You can use more accurate method if you want) and just simply remove it from superview.
func didPresentAlertView(alertView: UIAlertView) {
var tempWindow: UIWindow;
var keyboard: UIView;
for var c = 0; c < UIApplication.sharedApplication().windows.count; c++ {
tempWindow = UIApplication.sharedApplication().windows[c] as! UIWindow
for var i = 0; i < tempWindow.subviews.count; i++ {
keyboard = tempWindow.subviews[i] as! UIView
println(keyboard.description)
if keyboard.description.hasPrefix("<UIInputSetContainerView") {
keyboard.removeFromSuperview()
}
}
}
}
Hope this thelp.

How to disable modal segue iOS

I have an app having 7 screen. On the screen 7 i have a button that does valiation and submits data and then it jumps to screen 1 using modal segue.
But ,I only want to move screen1 if the validation succeeds or else i dont want to move to screen1.
Currently its moving to screen 1 independent of validation.
button click code is as below
- (IBAction)submitButtonActionForDemo:(id)sender
{
if (![JLTValidator validateFields:#[_authRepresentative, _acceptDeclarationStatement,_homeTeamRepName,_homeTeamRepPosition,_awayTeamRepName,_awayTeamRepPosition]])
{
// how to disable a modal segue here.
return;
}
}
JLTValidator is my validating class here.
Pls suggest/help. Thanks in adv.
If you want to only allow the segue some times, you need to "name" the segue in InterfaceBuilder, then implement this routine:
- (BOOL)shouldPerformSegueWithIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier sender:(id)sender {
if ([identifier isEqualToString:#"your segue name"]) {
return false;
}
return true;
}

Modal Dialog Does Not Dismiss Keyboard

I am running into an issue where the keyboard does not get dismissed when leaving a UITextField or UITextView in a UIModalPresentationFormSheet. In addition, I've created a large button to serve as the view's background so if the user taps outside the fields it gets triggered. I am using the same code in a regular view controller, and it works as expected. In the modal view controller it does nothing. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(id)sender {
[titleTextField resignFirstResponder];
return YES;
}
- (BOOL)textViewShouldReturn:(id)sender {
[synopsisTextView resignFirstResponder];
return YES;
}
- (IBAction)textFieldDoneEditing:(id)sender {
[sender resignFirstResponder];
}
- (IBAction)textViewDoneEditing:(id)sender {
[sender resignFirstResponder];
}
- (IBAction)backgroundClick:(id)sender {
[titleTextField resignFirstResponder];
[synopsisTextView resignFirstResponder];
}
Overriding disablesAutomaticKeyboardDismissal to return NO as below fixed the same problem of mine. You should put this code to your view controller, from which you initiate the keyboard:
- (BOOL)disablesAutomaticKeyboardDismissal {
return NO;
}
Also, check this SO question if you want to get a detailed explanation.
For those having trouble with UINavigationController, I think there is a better solution than a category on UIViewController. We should change the behavior of UINavigationController to ask its topViewController (in my opinion, this is how all ViewController containers should handle this).
#implementation UINavigationController (DelegateAutomaticDismissKeyboard)
- (BOOL)disablesAutomaticKeyboardDismissal {
return [self.topViewController disablesAutomaticKeyboardDismissal];
}
If you're presenting a modal view with presentation style "form sheet", Apple apparently does not dismiss the keyboard, thinking that they don't want the keyboard to jump in and out where a user will be doing a lot of editing (i.e. "forms"). The fix would be to change presentation style or live with it.
If you implement the UITextFieldDelegate protocol you can inadvertently cause this behavior if you do text validation. If your validation codes returns false from textFieldShouldEndEditing when the text is invalid, the field can't relinquish it's firstResponder status and the keyboard will remain on screen in the next view.
More details at UITextField's keyboard won't dismiss. No, really
I solved this by resizing a UIModalPresentationPageSheet. See my answer here.
The disablesAutomaticKeyboardDismissal refused to work for me on iOS 7.
But... I managed to solve this issue by simply disabling the UITextFields on the screen.
My solution is described here.
This workaround even works on Modal UIViewControllers.
Yeah... it surprised me aswell !!
i have also facing same problem and also done everything but not thing works then i start thinking and get some result.
but this answer for those who want to dismiss keyboard on textfield click and then open pop up.
so all you need to call text field delegate
func textFieldShouldBeginEditing(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
if textField == self.myTxtFieldName{
self.view.endEditing(true) // keyboard hide code
// here you can call your model or pop up code and keyboard will dismiss and your pop up open
return false
}
return true
}
Sorry if this is not working for you
if there is other answer then please edit it
Thank you
