I have a UIView, it is not inside UIScrollView. I would like to move up my View when the keyboard appears. Before I tried to use this solution: How can I make a UITextField move up when the keyboard is present?.
It was working fine. But after inserting the data in the textfields, it takes me to another view, and when I get back to this page, its just jumping, and I couldn't see my text fields. Is there any better solution for this problem?
Use the following code in order to show and hide the keyboard
//Declare a delegate, assign your textField to the delegate and then include these methods
-(BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyboardDidShow:) name:UIKeyboardDidShowNotification object:nil];
return YES;
}
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyboardDidHide:) name:UIKeyboardDidHideNotification object:nil];
[self.view endEditing:YES];
return YES;
}
- (void)keyboardDidShow:(NSNotification *)notification
{
// Assign new frame to your view
[self.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0,-110,320,460)]; //here taken -110 for example i.e. your view will be scrolled to -110. change its value according to your requirement.
}
-(void)keyboardDidHide:(NSNotification *)notification
{
[self.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,320,460)];
}
- (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];
}
#pragma mark - keyboard movements
- (void)keyboardWillShow:(NSNotification *)notification
{
CGSize keyboardSize = [[[notification userInfo] objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size;
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3 animations:^{
CGRect f = self.view.frame;
f.origin.y = -keyboardSize.height;
self.view.frame = f;
}];
}
-(void)keyboardWillHide:(NSNotification *)notification
{
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3 animations:^{
CGRect f = self.view.frame;
f.origin.y = 0.0f;
self.view.frame = f;
}];
}
I wrote a little category on UIView that manages temporarily scrolling things around without needing to wrap the whole thing into a UIScrollView. My use of the verb "scroll" here is perhaps not ideal, because it might make you think there's a scroll view involved, and there's not--we're just animating the position of a UIView (or UIView subclass).
There are a bunch of magic numbers embedded in this that are appropriate to my form and layout that might not be appropriate to yours, so I encourage tweaking this to fit your specific needs.
UIView+FormScroll.h:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
@interface UIView (FormScroll)
-(void)scrollToY:(float)y;
-(void)scrollToView:(UIView *)view;
-(void)scrollElement:(UIView *)view toPoint:(float)y;
@end
UIView+FormScroll.m:
#import "UIView+FormScroll.h"
@implementation UIView (FormScroll)
-(void)scrollToY:(float)y
{
[UIView beginAnimations:@"registerScroll" context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.4];
self.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(0, y);
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
-(void)scrollToView:(UIView *)view
{
CGRect theFrame = view.frame;
float y = theFrame.origin.y - 15;
y -= (y/1.7);
[self scrollToY:-y];
}
-(void)scrollElement:(UIView *)view toPoint:(float)y
{
CGRect theFrame = view.frame;
float orig_y = theFrame.origin.y;
float diff = y - orig_y;
if (diff < 0) {
[self scrollToY:diff];
}
else {
[self scrollToY:0];
}
}
@end
Import that into your UIViewController, and then you can do
- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
[self.view scrollToView:textField];
}
-(void) textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
[self.view scrollToY:0];
[textField resignFirstResponder];
}
...or whatever. That category gives you three pretty good ways to adjust the position of a view.
Bind a view to keyboard is also an option (see GIF at the bottom of the answer)
Use an extension: (Wasn't fully tested)
extension UIView{
func bindToKeyboard(){
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(UIView.keyboardWillChange(notification:)), name: Notification.Name.UIKeyboardWillChangeFrame, object: nil)
}
func unbindToKeyboard(){
NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self, name: Notification.Name.UIKeyboardWillChangeFrame, object: nil)
}
@objc
func keyboardWillChange(notification: Notification) {
let duration = notification.userInfo![UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] as! Double
let curve = notification.userInfo![UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey] as! UInt
let curFrame = (notification.userInfo![UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as! NSValue).cgRectValue
let targetFrame = (notification.userInfo![UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as! NSValue).cgRectValue
let deltaY = targetFrame.origin.y - curFrame.origin.y
UIView.animateKeyframes(withDuration: duration, delay: 0.0, options: UIViewKeyframeAnimationOptions(rawValue: curve), animations: {
self.frame.origin.y+=deltaY
},completion: nil)
}
}
Use an extension:
extension UIView{
func bindToKeyboard(){
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: #selector(UIView.keyboardWillChange(_:)), name: UIKeyboardWillChangeFrameNotification, object: nil)
}
func keyboardWillChange(notification: NSNotification) {
let duration = notification.userInfo![UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] as! Double
let curve = notification.userInfo![UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey] as! UInt
let curFrame = (notification.userInfo![UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as! NSValue).CGRectValue()
let targetFrame = (notification.userInfo![UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as! NSValue).CGRectValue()
let deltaY = targetFrame.origin.y - curFrame.origin.y
UIView.animateKeyframesWithDuration(duration, delay: 0.0, options: UIViewKeyframeAnimationOptions(rawValue: curve), animations: {
self.frame.origin.y+=deltaY
},completion: nil)
}
}
Usage:
// view did load...
textField.bindToKeyboard()
...
// view unload
textField.unbindToKeyboard()
result:
important
Don't forget to remove the observer when view is unloading
I found theDuncs answer very useful and below you can find my own (refactored) version:
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)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 {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
}
- (void)keyboardWillShow:(NSNotification *)notification {
CGSize keyboardSize = [[[notification userInfo] objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size;
float newVerticalPosition = -keyboardSize.height;
[self moveFrameToVerticalPosition:newVerticalPosition forDuration:0.3f];
}
- (void)keyboardWillHide:(NSNotification *)notification {
[self moveFrameToVerticalPosition:0.0f 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;
}];
}
Based on Daniel Krom's solution. This is version in swift 3.0. Works great with AutoLayout, and moves whole view when keyboard appears.
extension UIView {
func bindToKeyboard(){
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillChange), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillChangeFrame, object: nil)
}
func unbindFromKeyboard(){
NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self, name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillChangeFrame, object: nil)
}
@objc
func keyboardWillChange(notification: NSNotification) {
guard let userInfo = notification.userInfo else { return }
let duration = userInfo[UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] as! Double
let curve = userInfo[UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey] as! UInt
let curFrame = (userInfo[UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as! NSValue).cgRectValue
let targetFrame = (userInfo[UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as! NSValue).cgRectValue
let deltaY = targetFrame.origin.y - curFrame.origin.y
UIView.animateKeyframes(withDuration: duration, delay: 0.0, options: UIViewKeyframeAnimationOptions(rawValue: curve), animations: {
self.frame.origin.y += deltaY
})
}
}
How to use it:
Add bindToKeyboard function in viewDidLoad like:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
view.bindToKeyboard()
}
And add unbindFromKeyboard function in deinit:
deinit {
view.unbindFromKeyboard()
}
Updated version of answer by Daniel Krom above:
extension UIView {
func bindToKeyboard() {
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(
self,
selector: #selector(UIView.keyboardWillChange(notification:)),
name: UIResponder.keyboardWillChangeFrameNotification,
object: nil
)
}
func unbindToKeyboard() {
NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(
self,
name: UIResponder.keyboardWillChangeFrameNotification,
object: nil
)
}
@objc func keyboardWillChange(notification: Notification) {
let duration = notification.userInfo![UIResponder.keyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] as! Double
let curve = notification.userInfo![UIResponder.keyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey] as! UInt
let curFrame = (notification.userInfo![UIResponder.keyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as! NSValue).cgRectValue
let targetFrame = (notification.userInfo![UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as! NSValue).cgRectValue
let deltaY = targetFrame.origin.y - curFrame.origin.y
UIView.animateKeyframes(withDuration: duration, delay: 0.0, options: UIView.KeyframeAnimationOptions(rawValue: curve), animations: {
self.frame.origin.y += deltaY
})
}
}
For all the issue related to KeyBoard just use IQKeyBoardManager it's helpful. https://github.com/hackiftekhar/IQKeyboardManager.
try this one:-
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector (keyboardDidShow:)
name: UIKeyboardDidShowNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector (keyboardDidHide:)
name: UIKeyboardDidHideNotification object:nil];
-(void) keyboardDidShow: (NSNotification *)notif
{
CGSize keyboardSize = [[[notif userInfo] objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size;
UIEdgeInsets contentInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.0, 0.0, keyboardSize.height+[self getTableView].tableFooterView.frame.size.height, 0.0);
[self getTableView].contentInset = contentInsets;
[self getTableView].scrollIndicatorInsets = contentInsets;
CGRect rect = self.frame; rect.size.height -= keyboardSize.height;
if (!CGRectContainsPoint(rect, self.frame.origin))
{
CGPoint scrollPoint = CGPointMake(0.0, self.frame.origin.y - (keyboardSize.height - self.frame.size.height));
[[self getTableView] setContentOffset:scrollPoint animated:YES];
}
}
-(void) keyboardDidHide: (NSNotification *)notif
{
UIEdgeInsets contentInsets = UIEdgeInsetsZero;
[self getTableView].contentInset = contentInsets;
[self getTableView].scrollIndicatorInsets = contentInsets;
}
Based on theDunc's answer but written in Swift with Autolayout.
@IBOutlet weak var bottomConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint! // connect the bottom of the view you want to move to the bottom layout guide
override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self,
selector: #selector(ConversationViewController.keyboardWillShow(_:)),
name: UIKeyboardWillShowNotification,
object: nil)
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self,
selector: #selector(ConversationViewController.keyboardWillHide(_:)),
name: UIKeyboardWillHideNotification,
object: nil)
}
override func viewWillDisappear(animated: Bool) {
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().removeObserver(self, name: UIKeyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil)
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().removeObserver(self, name: UIKeyboardWillHideNotification, object: nil)
super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
}
// MARK: - Keyboard events
func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
if let userInfo = notification.userInfo,
keyboardFrame = userInfo[UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey]
{
let keyboardSize = keyboardFrame.CGRectValue().size
self.bottomConstraint.constant = keyboardSize.height
UIView.animateWithDuration(0.3) {
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}
}
}
func keyboardWillHide(notification: NSNotification) {
self.bottomConstraint.constant = 0
UIView.animateWithDuration(0.3) {
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}
}
I have implemented a custom controller that dynamically calculates the size of the keyboard, scrolling textFields when it appears and disappears, even during rotation of the device. Works with all iOS devices. Just simply inherit the controller to have what you need. You can find it with all the instructions at the following link: https://github.com/mikthebig/ios-textfield-scroll
Simple solution without adding observer notification
-(void)setViewMovedUp:(BOOL)movedUp
{
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.3]; // if you want to slide up the view
CGRect rect = self.view.frame;
if (movedUp)
{
// 1. move the view's origin up so that the text field that will be hidden come above the keyboard
// 2. increase the size of the view so that the area behind the keyboard is covered up.
rect.origin.y -= kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD;
rect.size.height += kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD;
}
else
{
// revert back to the normal state.
rect.origin.y += kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD;
rect.size.height -= kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD;
}
self.view.frame = rect;
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
-(void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)sender
{
if (self.view.frame.origin.y >= 0)
{
[self setViewMovedUp:NO];
}
}
-(void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)sender
{
//move the main view, so that the keyboard does not hide it.
if (self.view.frame.origin.y >= 0)
{
[self setViewMovedUp:YES];
}
}
Where
#define kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD 80.0
Swift 4
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillChange), name: .UIKeyboardWillChangeFrame, object: nil)
@objc func keyboardWillChange(notification: NSNotification) {
let duration = notification.userInfo![UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] as! Double
let curve = notification.userInfo![UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey] as! UInt
let curFrame = (notification.userInfo![UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as! NSValue).cgRectValue
let targetFrame = (notification.userInfo![UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as! NSValue).cgRectValue
let deltaY = targetFrame.origin.y - curFrame.origin.y
UIView.animateKeyframes(withDuration: duration, delay: 0.0, options: UIViewKeyframeAnimationOptions(rawValue: curve), animations: {
self.YourView.frame.origin.y+=deltaY
},completion: nil)
}
Just in case someone is looking for solution in Swift, throw this in your code:
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillShow(notification:)), name: .UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillHide(notification:)), name: .UIKeyboardWillHide, object: nil)
}
override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self, name: .UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)
NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self, name: .UIKeyboardWillHide, object: nil)
}
@objc func keyboardWillShow(notification: Notification) {
if let userInfo = notification.userInfo {
if let keyboardSize = (userInfo[UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3) {
var alteredFrame = self.view.frame
alteredFrame.origin.y = -keyboardSize.height
self.view.frame = alteredFrame
}
}
}
}
@objc func keyboardWillHide(notification: Notification) {
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3) {
var alteredFrame = self.view.frame
alteredFrame.origin.y = 0.0
self.view.frame = alteredFrame
}
}
Here you go. I have used this code with UIView, though. You should be able to make those adjustments for scrollview.
func addKeyboardNotifications() {
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self,
selector: #selector(keyboardWillShow(notification:)),
name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self,
selector: #selector(keyboardWillHide(notification:)),
name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillHide, object: nil)
}
func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
let duration = notification.userInfo![UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] as! Double
// if using constraints
// bottomViewBottomSpaceConstraint.constant = keyboardSize.height
self.view.frame.origin.y -= keyboardSize.height
UIView.animate(withDuration: duration) {
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}
}
}
func keyboardWillHide(notification: NSNotification) {
let duration = notification.userInfo![UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] as! Double
//if using constraint
// bottomViewBottomSpaceConstraint.constant = 0
self.view.frame.origin.y = 0
UIView.animate(withDuration: duration) {
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}
}
Don't forget to remove notifications at right place.
func removeKeyboardNotifications() {
NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self, name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)
NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self, name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillHide, object: nil)
}
i just created a lightweight keyboard handler to follow keyboard frame.
Usage:
self.keyboardHandler = [EDKeyboardHandler new];
[self.keyboardHandler listenWithBlock:^(KeyboardInfo *model)
{
//adjust view positions according to keyboard position here
}];
and the KeyboardInfo model has the following properties:
typedef enum : NSUInteger {
KeyboardStatusDidShow,
KeyboardStatusWillShow,
KeyboardStatusDidHide,
KeyboardStatusWillHide,
} KeyboardStatus;
@interface KeyboardInfo:NSObject
@property (nonatomic,readonly) NSTimeInterval animationDuration;
@property (nonatomic,readonly) CGRect keyboardFrame;
@property (nonatomic,readonly) NSInteger animationCurve;
@property (nonatomic,readonly) KeyboardStatus status;
@end
check GitHub project for details and cocoaPods integration.
Declare a delegate, assign your text field to the delegate and then include these methods.
Assuming you have a login form with email and password text fields, this code will fit perfectly:
-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
[self.emailTextField resignFirstResponder];
[self.passwordTextField resignFirstResponder];
}
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField {
if (self.emailTextField == textField) {
[self.passwordTextField becomeFirstResponder];
} else {
[self.emailTextField resignFirstResponder];
[self.passwordTextField resignFirstResponder];
}
return NO;
}
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)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 {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
}
#pragma mark - keyboard movements
- (void)keyboardWillShow:(NSNotification *)notification
{
CGSize keyboardSize = [[[notification userInfo] objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size;
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3 animations:^{
CGRect f = self.view.frame;
f.origin.y = -0.5f * keyboardSize.height;
self.view.frame = f;
}];
}
-(void)keyboardWillHide:(NSNotification *)notification
{
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3 animations:^{
CGRect f = self.view.frame;
f.origin.y = 0.0f;
self.view.frame = f;
}];
}
It can be done easily & automatically if that textfield is in a table's cell (even when the table.scrollable = NO).
NOTE that: the position and size of the table must be reasonable. e.g:
height = 10, and the textfield in it must be scrolled up 100 when keyboard appears in order to be visible, then that textfield will be out of the table's bound.
