How to make UITextField move up when keyboard is present?

I assume this is happening on a UIViewController. If so, you can setup the following two functions to be called when the keyboard will show/hide, and respond appropriately in their blocks.

Setting up the UIViewController:

class ViewController: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate... {

    var frameView: UIView!

First, in viewDidLoad():

override func viewDidLoad() {

    self.frameView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: self.view.bounds.width, height: self.view.bounds.height))

    // Keyboard stuff.
    let center: NotificationCenter = NotificationCenter.default
    center.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillShow(notification:)), name: UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil)
    center.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillHide(notification:)), name: UIResponder.keyboardWillHideNotification, object: nil)

}

Then implement the following two functions to respond to your NotificationCenter functions defined in viewDidLoad() above. I give you an example of moving the entire view, but you can also animate just the UITextFields.

@objc func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
    let info:NSDictionary = notification.userInfo! as NSDictionary
    let keyboardSize = (info[UIResponder.keyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as! NSValue).cgRectValue

    let keyboardHeight: CGFloat = keyboardSize.height

    let _: CGFloat = info[UIResponder.keyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] as! NSNumber as! CGFloat


    UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.25, delay: 0.25, options: .curveEaseInOut, animations: {
        self.frameView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: (self.frameView.frame.origin.y - keyboardHeight), width: self.view.bounds.width, height: self.view.bounds.height)
    }, completion: nil)
}

@objc func keyboardWillHide(notification: NSNotification) {
    let info: NSDictionary = notification.userInfo! as NSDictionary
    let keyboardSize = (info[UIResponder.keyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as! NSValue).cgRectValue

    let keyboardHeight: CGFloat = keyboardSize.height

    let _: CGFloat = info[UIResponder.keyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] as! NSNumber as! CGFloat

    UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.25, delay: 0.25, options: .curveEaseInOut, animations: {
        self.frameView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: (self.frameView.frame.origin.y + keyboardHeight), width: self.view.bounds.width, height: self.view.bounds.height)
    }, completion: nil)

}

Don't forget to remove the notifications when leaving your view

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
    NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self, name: UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil)
    NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self, name: UIResponder.keyboardWillHideNotification, object: nil)
}

How can I make a UITextField move up when the keyboard is present - on starting to edit?

  1. You will only need a ScrollView if the contents you have now do not fit in the iPhone screen. (If you are adding the ScrollView as the superview of the components just to make the TextField scroll up when keyboard comes up, then it's not needed.)

  2. The standard way to prevent the TextFields from being covered by the keyboard is to move the view up/down whenever the keyboard is shown.

Here is some sample code:

#define kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD 80.0

-(void)keyboardWillShow {
    // Animate the current view out of the way
    if (self.view.frame.origin.y >= 0)
    {
        [self setViewMovedUp:YES];
    }
    else if (self.view.frame.origin.y < 0)
    {
        [self setViewMovedUp:NO];
    }
}

-(void)keyboardWillHide {
    if (self.view.frame.origin.y >= 0)
    {
        [self setViewMovedUp:YES];
    }
    else if (self.view.frame.origin.y < 0)
    {
        [self setViewMovedUp:NO];
    }
}

-(void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)sender
{
    if ([sender isEqual:mailTf])
    {
        //move the main view, so that the keyboard does not hide it.
        if  (self.view.frame.origin.y >= 0)
        {
            [self setViewMovedUp:YES];
        }
    }
}

//method to move the view up/down whenever the keyboard is shown/dismissed
-(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)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
    // register for keyboard notifications
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                         selector:@selector(keyboardWillShow)
                                             name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification
                                           object:nil];

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                         selector:@selector(keyboardWillHide)

                                           object:nil];
}

- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillDisappear:animated];
    // unregister for keyboard notifications while not visible.
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
                                             name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification
                                           object:nil];

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
                                             name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification

How to make a UITextView move up when keyboard is present

While editing complete View will move up and after done editing will move down...

- (void)textViewDidBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView
{
   [self animateTextView: YES];
 }

- (void)textViewDidEndEditing:(UITextView *)textView
 {
   [self animateTextView:NO];
  }

- (void) animateTextView:(BOOL) up
    {
        const int movementDistance =heightKeyboard; // tweak as needed
        const float movementDuration = 0.3f; // tweak as needed
        int movement= movement = (up ? -movementDistance : movementDistance);
        NSLog(@"%d",movement);

        [UIView beginAnimations: @"anim" context: nil];
        [UIView setAnimationBeginsFromCurrentState: YES];
        [UIView setAnimationDuration: movementDuration];
        self.view.frame = CGRectOffset(self.inputView.frame, 0, movement);
        [UIView commitAnimations];
    }

I hope this will help you...

Move UITextField up when keyboard appears

Try this code 

func textFieldDidBeginEditing(textField: UITextField!)
{
     self.scrollView.setContentOffset(CGPoint.init(x: 0, y: scrollBy), animated: true)
  // scrollBy - pass the height you want your scrollview to be scrolled when keyboard appears
 }

func textFieldDidEndEditing(textField: UITextField!)
{
    self.scrollView.setContentOffset(CGPoint.init(x: 0, y: 0), animated: true)

    self.view.endEditing(true);
}

Move view with keyboard using Swift

Here is a solution, without handling the switch from one textField to another:

override func 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)            
    }   

func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {            
    if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.CGRectValue() {
        self.view.frame.origin.y -= keyboardSize.height
    }            
}

func keyboardWillHide(notification: NSNotification) {
    self.view.frame.origin.y = 0
}

To solve this, replace the two functions keyboardWillShow/Hide with these:

func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {        
    if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.CGRectValue() {
        if view.frame.origin.y == 0 {
            self.view.frame.origin.y -= keyboardSize.height
        }
    }        
}

func keyboardWillHide(notification: NSNotification) {
    if view.frame.origin.y != 0 {
        self.view.frame.origin.y = 0
    }
}

Swift 3.0:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()            
    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(ViewController.keyboardWillShow), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)
    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(ViewController.keyboardWillHide), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillHide, object: nil)    
}

@objc func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {        
    if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
        if self.view.frame.origin.y == 0 {
            self.view.frame.origin.y -= keyboardSize.height
        }
    }        
}

@objc func keyboardWillHide(notification: NSNotification) {
    if self.view.frame.origin.y != 0 {
        self.view.frame.origin.y = 0
    }
}

Swift 4.0:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()            
    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(ViewController.keyboardWillShow), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)
    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(ViewController.keyboardWillHide), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillHide, object: nil)    
}

@objc func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {        
    if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
        if self.view.frame.origin.y == 0 {
            self.view.frame.origin.y -= keyboardSize.height
        }
    }        
}

@objc func keyboardWillHide(notification: NSNotification) {
    if self.view.frame.origin.y != 0 {
        self.view.frame.origin.y = 0
    }
}

Swift 4.2:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()            
    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillShow), name: UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil)
    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillHide), name: UIResponder.keyboardWillHideNotification, object: nil)
}

@objc func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
    if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
        if self.view.frame.origin.y == 0 {
            self.view.frame.origin.y -= keyboardSize.height
        }
    }
}

@objc func keyboardWillHide(notification: NSNotification) {
    if self.view.frame.origin.y != 0 {
        self.view.frame.origin.y = 0
    }
}

How do I display the keyboard and move up the UIView at the same time when the view appears?

Make a reference (IBOutlet) of your view's bottom constraint, name it as bottomConstraint or whatever you prefer.

Then as what you're doing in your keyboardWillShow selector, extract the keyboard height, and assign that height to the constant property of your bottomConstraint. Add animations if you want.

import UIKit

class SecondViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet var textField: UITextField!
    @IBOutlet weak var bottomConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint!
    
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        view.backgroundColor = .darkGray
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillShow), name: UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil)
        
        //The line below will display the keyboard over the UIView, thus obscuring it.
        textField.becomeFirstResponder()
    }

    @objc func keyboardWillShow(_ notification: Notification) {
        let info = notification.userInfo!
        let kbHeight = (info[UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as! NSValue).cgRectValue.height
        
        bottomConstraint.constant = -kbHeight
        
        let duration: TimeInterval = (info[UIResponder.keyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] as! NSNumber).doubleValue
        
        UIView.animate(withDuration: duration) { self.view.layoutIfNeeded() }
    }
}
