IPhones- Have the keyboard slide out with the view - iphone

Question

We have a view open with keyboard shown ， but when the back button clicked , the view slide out from right while the keyboard will slide only when the view disappeared.
if we call resignFirstResponder at viewwilldisappear, the view slide to the right while keyboard slide down at same time.
Is it possible to let the keyboard slide out with the view?

Answer 1

I have tested this and it works in iOS 5.1, however, I don't think this is recommended behaviour.
for (UIWindow *keyboardWindow in [[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows])
if ([[keyboardWindow description] hasPrefix:#"<UITextEffectsWindow"]) {
NSLog(#"%#", [keyboardWindow description]);
[UIWindow beginAnimations:#"fadeKeyboard" context:nil];
keyboardWindow.frame = CGRectMake(keyboardWindow.frame.origin.x + keyboardWindow.frame.size.width, keyboardWindow.frame.origin.y, keyboardWindow.frame.size.width, keyboardWindow.frame.size.height);
[UIWindow commitAnimations];
}
You can also use a notification UIKeyboardWillHideNotification to detect when the keyboard is going to hide, or just use the above code manually.

There is no standard way to do what you want, but...
Basically, keyboard is just a view, presented in it's own UIWindow on top of all your other windows.
So, theoretically, what you need to do is to find keyboard view and move it in desired direction. I think you should use transform property and don't mess up with frame.
Class keyboardClass = NSClassFromString(#"UIPeripheralHostView");
for ( UIWindow *window in [[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows] ) {
for ( UIView *subview in window.subviews ) {
if ( [subview isKindOfClass:keyboardClass] ) {
// that's keyboard
}
}
}
Edited:
If you're talking about UINavigationController and it's default slide animations during push / pop, then, you just need to invoke resignFirstResponder in viewDidDisappear and becomeFirstResponder in viewWillAppear on your text view. That way your keyboard will slide along with your view.

Answer 3

Try sticking resignFirstresponder in the viewDidDisappear method instead.

**Set notificatins and use these methods.....Hope it solve problem:
First of all set your whole view in scrollView**
-(void)keyboardDidHide:(NSNotification *)notif
{
NSTimeInterval duration = 0.4;
[UIView animateWithDuration:duration animations:
^{
scrollView.contentSize=CGSizeMake(320,scrollOriginalFrame.size.height);
}];
keyboardVisible=NO;
}
-(void)keyboardDidShow:(NSNotification *)notif
{
scrollView.contentSize=CGSizeMake(self.view.frame.size.width, scrollOriginalFrame.size.height+235);
NSTimeInterval duration = 0.4;
[UIView animateWithDuration:duration animations:
^{
[scrollView setContentOffset:CGPointMake(0,162) animated:YES];
}];
keyboardVisible=YES;
}
**In viewDidLoad() add this**
//keyboard
scrollOriginalFrame=self.view.frame;
scrollOriginalFrame.size.height-=103;
scrollView.contentSize=scrollOriginalFrame.size;
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(keyboardDidShow:) name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]addObserver:self selector:#selector(keyboardDidHide:) name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
keyboardVisible=NO;
