Keyboard height observer gives inacurate height - swift

I'm using the observer below to determine my keyboard height.
I then use this keyboardHeight to adjust the bottom constraint for a UIView (image attached):
#IBOutlet weak var postViewBottomContraint: NSLayoutConstraint!
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillShow), name: .UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)
}
and the method:
#objc func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
keyboardHeight = keyboardSize.height
print("Keyboard Height is:",keyboardHeight)
}
}
, and here is where I change the height:
func startEditing() {
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5) {
self.postViewBottomContraint.constant = self.keyboardHeight
print ("Bottom constraint is:",self.postViewBottomContraint.constant.description)
self.postTextView.textColor = UIColor.lightGray
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}
}
It adds a space between the keyboard and the UIView even though the keyboardHeight and the bottomConstraint are identical (in my case it is 253.0), is it adding something extra that is not visible or is there something else going on?

Text view up when keyboard appears swift

I have textField and textView in the table. When editing textFiled, this code works and all text fields rise above the keyboard. When I edit a textView, nothing happens. It will help to edit the code so that for textView this code also works. Please do not offer third-party libraries. Thanks
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(
self,
selector: #selector(keyboardWillShow(_:)),
name: UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification,
object: nil)
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(
self,
selector: #selector(keyboardWillHide(_:)),
name: UIResponder.keyboardWillHideNotification,
object: nil)
}
override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self)
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
#objc
fileprivate func keyboardWillShow(_ notification: Notification) {
let keyboardFrame = ((notification as NSNotification).userInfo?[UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue ?? CGRect.zero
let contentInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0.0, left: 0.0, bottom: keyboardFrame.height, right: 0.0)
self.tableView.contentInset = contentInsets
self.tableView.scrollIndicatorInsets = contentInsets
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.25) {
self.tableView.layoutIfNeeded()
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}
}
#objc
fileprivate func keyboardWillHide(_ notification: Notification) {
tableView.contentInset = .zero
}
yes you can!
all you need to do is knowing where you textfield position,
then set your scroll Offset
write this :
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(yourMethod(_:)), name: UITextField.textDidBeginEditingNotification, object: nil)
and your function
#objc func yourMethod(_ sender: NSNotification) {
if let tfActive = sender.object as? UITextField {
let frameRelatedToSuper = tfActive.convert(yourScrollView.contentOffset, to: nil)
//[mockTF convertPoint:self.parentScrollView.contentOffset toView:nil];
yourScrollView.setContentOffset(frameRelatedToSuper, animated: true)
}
}
the rest is your logic.
good luck
note: without adding additional height it might stopped on the top of your textfield
you can declare this
var padding: CGFloat = 10
padding = yourTF.bounds.height + padding
frameRelatedToSuper += padding
edit : the rest is your logic what i meant was ,because you need to calculate your keyboard height and add to framerelatedtosuper

iOS keyboard hides a UITextField

When I press on a UITextField that is on the lower part of the screen, it is hidden by the keyboard.
What I wanted to do is moving up the view, with the standard iOS animation, reaching the UITextField that in which I am inserting some text.
I am developing the app in Swift 5 (Xcode 10.2)
The result that I have reached is that now I can move the view (a little earlier than desired) but the view moves every time I press on a UITextField, not only the one that will be hided by the keyboard.
class ViewController: UIViewController {
deinit {
NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self)
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillShow(notification:)), name: UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil)
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillHide(notification:)), name: UIResponder.keyboardWillHideNotification, object: nil)
}
#objc func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
guard let userInfo = notification.userInfo else {
return
}
guard let keyboardSize = userInfo[UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue else {
return
}
let keyboardFrame = keyboardSize.cgRectValue
if self.view.frame.origin.y == 0 {
self.view.frame.origin.y -= keyboardFrame.height
}
}
#objc func keyboardWillHide(notification: NSNotification) {
guard let userInfo = notification.userInfo else {
return
}
guard let keyboardSize = userInfo[UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue else {
return
}
let keyboardFrame = keyboardSize.cgRectValue
if self.view.frame.origin.y != 0 {
self.view.frame.origin.y += keyboardFrame.height
}
}
}
The result that I want to obtain is that if the user presses on a UITextField that will be hided by the keyboard, then, a little bit after the keyboard appeared, the view is moved up until the user can see the UITextField that has pressed.
I've searched a long for a solution to this problem but all others that I've seen seems outdated or not doing what I'm trying to achieve.
you can try by taking scrollview :
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet var scrollView: UIScrollView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self,selector:#selector(self.keyboardWillShow),name:UIResponder.keyboardDidShowNotification, object: nil)
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self,selector: #selector(self.keyboardWillHide),name:UIResponder.keyboardDidHideNotification, object: nil)
}
#objc func keyboardWillShow(notification: Notification) {
guard let userInfo = notification.userInfo,
let frame = (userInfo[UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue
else{
return
}
let contentInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: 0, bottom: frame.height, right: 0)
scrollView.contentInset = contentInset
}
#objc func keyboardWillHide(notification: Notification)
{
scrollView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsets.zero
}
}

Does keyboard textfield depends from textfield constraint?

I'm having a problem with keyboard textfield. I'm working on swift 4 in iOS 9.2
I have a login screen which does have a lot of constraints (to be adaptable for every screen). In my login screen, I have a username and password textfield.
The problem is that when I launch the application on my IPad, the keyboard appears in center of the associated textField. Moreover, the observer won't work : When I use debugger, I never get inside the observers
But when I launch on simulator, everything works perfectly.
#My object life cycle
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.keyboardWillHide(_:)), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillHide, object: nil)
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.keyboardWillShow(_:)), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)
}
override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self, name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillHide, object: nil)
NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self, name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)
}
# My textfield delegates and observers
extension LoginViewController {
func textFieldShouldReturn(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
textField.resignFirstResponder()
return true
}
#objc func keyboardWillShow(_ notification: NSNotification) {
if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
if self.view.frame.origin.y == 0{
self.view.frame.origin.y -= keyboardSize.height
}
}
}
#objc func keyboardWillHide(_ notification: NSNotification) {
if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
if self.view.frame.origin.y != 0{
self.view.frame.origin.y += keyboardSize.height
}
}
}
}
And for my textfield storyboard configuration, here is it
So what didn't I understood ?
Is the keyboard also dependants to textfield constraints ?
Why the observers aren't working on iPad but works in simulation ?
how can I move the keyboard programatically ?
Make sure your iPad/iPhone have the keyboard dock..
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5430957
You're not inheriting from UITextFieldDelegate in your extension. Also, make sure you set your textfields as self delegate in viewDidLoad method.
#IBOutlet weak var yourViewName: UIView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
loginTextField.delegate = self
passwordTextField.delegate = self
super.viewDidLoad()
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector:#selector(LoginViewController.keyboardWillShow(notification:)), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardDidShow, object: nil)
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector:#selector(LoginViewController.keyboardWillHide(notification:)), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardDidHide, object: nil)
}
extension LoginViewController : UITextFieldDelegate {
func textFieldShouldReturn(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
textField.resignFirstResponder()
return true
}
#objc func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3) {
self.usernameField.frame.origin.y -= 43
self.usernameLine.frame.origin.y -= 43
self.passwordField.frame.origin.y -= 43
self.passwordLine.frame.origin.y -= 43
self.loginBtn.frame.origin.y -= 65
}
}
#objc func keyboardWillHide(notification: NSNotification) {
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3) {
self.usernameField.frame.origin.y += 33
self.usernameLine.frame.origin.y += 33
self.passwordField.frame.origin.y += 33
self.passwordLine.frame.origin.y += 33
self.loginBtn.frame.origin.y += 55
}
}
easies way , you first take one scroll view and add top , bottom , leading , trailing contains of all 4 with value 0 and than take one view and add 4 constrain for view to top,bottom,leading,traling to scrollview and put your textfield inside that view and add constrains as per your design concept relative to view which you added in this scrollview ,
now , whenever your keyboard will open your view will move toward upside and textfield and keyboard both will be look properly

Move subview up when keyboard displayed over textfields in subview

I have two textfields inside a subview and i am trying to move subview up when any of textfield clicked inside subview and keyboard appears. The problem is subview moves down when subview is up and i clicked on second textfield. It should hide when I touch any of the view except textfields.
The definition of my two textfield and subview;
#IBOutlet weak var emailTextField: UITextField!
#IBOutlet weak var passwordTextField: UITextField!
#IBOutlet weak var loginView: UIView!
The code in viewDidLoad
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector:#selector(keyboardWillShow), name: .UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector:#selector(keyboardWillHide), name: .UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)
And two other functions which show and hide keyboard
func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
if loginView.frame.origin.y == 0{
let height = keyboardSize.height
self.loginView.frame.origin.y += height
}
}
}
func keyboardWillHide(notification: NSNotification) {
if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
if loginView.frame.origin.y != 0 {
let height = keyboardSize.height
self.loginView.frame.origin.y -= height
}
}
}
I would like to know how can I avoid subview down when I click textfield while subview is up.
Just make the y-origin of view to zero when keyboard is down.
When you tap the other textField while keyboard is open this is .
func keyboardWillHide(notification: NSNotification) {
func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
if loginView.frame.origin.y == 0{
let height = keyboardSize.height
self.loginView.frame.origin.y = -height
}
}
}
if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
if loginView.frame.origin.y != 0 {
let height = keyboardSize.height
self.loginView.frame.origin.y = 0
}
}
}

Move button when keyboard appears swift

In a UIViewController I have several text fields and a button is on the bottom of the UIViewController.
For the button, I have set a bottom constraint with a constant of 0.
Then I made an outlet from the bottom constraint to the UIViewController.
When I run my code, the button does not move upwards. I have seen suggestions on stackoverflow that I should add UIScrollView, but that means, I would have to delete all the objects on the UIViewController, put the UIScrollView and then put my objects on the UIVIewController again.
#IBOutlet weak var bottomConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint!
// When tapping outside of the keyboard, close the keyboard down
override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
self.view.endEditing(true)
}
// Stop Editing on Return Key Tap. textField parameter refers to any textfield within the view
func textFieldShouldReturn(textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
textField.resignFirstResponder()
return true
}
// When keyboard is about to show assign the height of the keyboard to bottomConstraint.constant of our button so that it will move up
func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
if let userInfo = notification.userInfo {
if let keyboardSize: CGRect = (userInfo[UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.CGRectValue() {
bottomConstraint.constant = keyboardSize.size.height
view.setNeedsLayout()
}
}
}
// When keyboard is hidden, move the button to the bottom of the view
func keyboardWillHide(notification: NSNotification) {
bottomConstraint.constant = 0.0
view.setNeedsLayout()
}
The typical way to address this would be to move the keyboard with code like this:
in ViewController class:
func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.CGRectValue() {
if view.frame.origin.y == 0{
let height = keyboardSize.height
self.view.frame.origin.y += height
}
}
}
func keyboardWillHide(notification: NSNotification) {
if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.CGRectValue() {
if view.frame.origin.y != 0 {
let height = keyboardSize.height
self.view.frame.origin.y -= height
}
}
}
in ViewDidLoad method:
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: Selector("keyboardWillShow:"), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: Selector("keyboardWillHide:"), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillHide, object: nil)
Please Read This:
The way you are trying to solve your problem is not allowed. In the code above, if you change view to your button variable name, the button will shoot up and then fall back down. This is because Auto Layout and Programmatic layout do not work together, it is one or the other. The way you fix this is by programmatically creating that button (with CGRect), then using the code above to move only that button on keyboard press. (Do that by changing view to your button variable name.
func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
if view.frame.origin.y == 0{
let height = keyboardSize.height
self.yourBtn.frame.origin.y += height
}
}
}
func keyboardWillHide(notification: NSNotification) {
if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
if view.frame.origin.y != 0 {
let height = keyboardSize.height
self.yourBtn.frame.origin.y -= height
}
}
}
To programmatically create the button you would use code similar to this:
myButton.frame = CGRect(...)
Complimentary to Ryan's answer above, this can be done all with auto-layout and no need for frames and CGRect.
Swift 5
In your view, constrain your button as you normally would but add a reference to the constraint for modification when the keyboard hides/shows:
var bottomButtonConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint()
bottomButtonConstraint = yourButton.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: safeAreaLayoutGuide.bottomAnchor, constant: -12)
bottomButtonConstraint.isActive = true
In your ViewController's viewDidLoad():
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillShow(notification:)), name: UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil)
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillHide(notification:)), name: UIResponder.keyboardWillHideNotification, object: nil)
Also in your ViewController:
#objc private func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIResponder.keyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
self.yourCustomView.bottomButtonConstraint.constant -= keyboardSize.height
}
}
#objc private func keyboardWillHide(notification: NSNotification) {
self.yourCustomView.bottomButtonConstraint.constant = -12
}
You need add(viewDidLoad) observers to call your functions:
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillShow), name: UIKeyboardDidShowNotification, object: nil)
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillHide), name: UIKeyboardDidHideNotification, object: nil)
Consider using this pod: https://cocoapods.org/pods/IQKeyboardManager
In AppDelegate.swift, just import IQKeyboardManagerSwift framework and enable IQKeyboardManager.
import IQKeyboardManagerSwift
#UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
IQKeyboardManager.shared.enable = true
return true
}
}
