iOS 7.1 Uitextview Still Not Scrolling to Cursor/Caret After New Line

iOS 7.1 UITextView still not scrolling to cursor/caret after new line

Improved solution's code for UITextView descendant class:

#define SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(v) ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] compare:v options:NSNumericSearch] != NSOrderedAscending)
#define is_iOS7 SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(@"7.0")
#define is_iOS8 SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(@"8.0")

@implementation MyTextView {
    BOOL settingText;
}

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame {
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self) {
        [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(handleTextViewDidChangeNotification:) name:UITextViewTextDidChangeNotification object:self];
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)scrollToCaretInTextView:(UITextView *)textView animated:(BOOL)animated {
    CGRect rect = [textView caretRectForPosition:textView.selectedTextRange.end];
    rect.size.height += textView.textContainerInset.bottom;
    [textView scrollRectToVisible:rect animated:animated];
}

- (void)handleTextViewDidChangeNotification:(NSNotification *)notification {
    if (notification.object == self && is_iOS7 && !is_iOS8 && !settingText) {
        UITextView *textView = self;
        if ([textView.text hasSuffix:@"\n"]) {
            [CATransaction setCompletionBlock:^{
                [self scrollToCaretInTextView:textView animated:NO];
            }];
        } else {
            [self scrollToCaretInTextView:textView animated:NO];
        }
    }
}

- (void)setText:(NSString *)text {
    settingText = YES;
    [super setText:text];
    settingText = NO;
}

Note it doesn't work when Down key is pressed on Bluetooth keyboard.

UITextView in iOS7 clips the last line of text string

The problem is due to iOS 7. In the text view delegate, add this code:

- (void)textViewDidChange:(UITextView *)textView {
    CGRect line = [textView caretRectForPosition:
        textView.selectedTextRange.start];
    CGFloat overflow = line.origin.y + line.size.height
        - ( textView.contentOffset.y + textView.bounds.size.height
        - textView.contentInset.bottom - textView.contentInset.top );
    if ( overflow > 0 ) {
        // We are at the bottom of the visible text and introduced a line feed, scroll down (iOS 7 does not do it)
        // Scroll caret to visible area
        CGPoint offset = textView.contentOffset;
        offset.y += overflow + 7; // leave 7 pixels margin
        // Cannot animate with setContentOffset:animated: or caret will not appear
        [UIView animateWithDuration:.2 animations:^{
            [textView setContentOffset:offset];
        }];
    }
}

UITableView in iOS 7 not scrolling to correct location when editing UITextView in cell

Try to adjust UITableView frame when keyboard appears. Call [self attachKeyboardHelper] in viewWillAppear and [self detachKeyboardHelper] in viewWillDisappear.

- (void)attachKeyboardHelper{
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                             selector:@selector(keyboardWillAppear:)
                                                 name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification
                                               object:nil];
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                             selector:@selector(keyboardWillHide:)
                                                 name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification
                                               object:nil];
}

- (void)detachKeyboardHelper{
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self];
}

- (void)keyboardWillAppear:(NSNotification *)notification{
    NSDictionary* userInfo = [notification userInfo];

    NSTimeInterval animationDuration;
    UIViewAnimationCurve animationCurve;
    CGRect keyboardEndFrame;

    [[userInfo objectForKey:UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey] getValue:&animationCurve];
    [[userInfo objectForKey:UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] getValue:&animationDuration];
    [[userInfo objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] getValue:&keyboardEndFrame];

    // Animate up or down
    [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration:animationDuration];

    CGRect keyboardFrame = [self.view convertRect:keyboardEndFrame toView:nil];
    if(self.view==self.tableView){
        CGRect newTableFrame = CGRectMake(self.tableView.frame.origin.x, self.tableView.frame.origin.y, self.tableView.frame.size.width, self.view.bounds.size.height-keyboardFrame.size.height);
        self.tableView.frame = newTableFrame;
    }else{
        CGRect newTableFrame = CGRectMake(self.tableView.frame.origin.x, self.tableView.frame.origin.y, self.tableView.frame.size.width, self.view.bounds.size.height-self.tableView.frame.origin.y-keyboardFrame.size.height);
        self.tableView.frame = newTableFrame;
    }

    [UIView commitAnimations];
}

- (void)keyboardWillHide:(NSNotification *)notification{
    NSDictionary* userInfo = [notification userInfo];

    NSTimeInterval animationDuration;
    UIViewAnimationCurve animationCurve;
    CGRect keyboardEndFrame;

    [[userInfo objectForKey:UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey] getValue:&animationCurve];
    [[userInfo objectForKey:UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] getValue:&animationDuration];
    [[userInfo objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] getValue:&keyboardEndFrame];

    CGRect newTableFrame = CGRectMake(self.tableView.frame.origin.x, self.tableView.frame.origin.y, self.tableView.frame.size.width, self.view.superview.bounds.size.height-self.tableView.frame.origin.y);
    self.tableView.frame = newTableFrame;
    if(newTableFrame.size.height>self.tableView.contentSize.height-self.tableView.contentOffset.y){
        float newOffset=MAX(self.tableView.contentSize.height-newTableFrame.size.height, 0);
        [self.tableView setContentOffset:CGPointMake(0, newOffset) animated:YES];
    }

}

iOS: Scrolling text view to bottom programmatically creates a large white space after the text

This minor change, resolved my issue:

let bottom = CGPoint(x: 0, y: textView.contentSize.height - textView.frame.size.height)
textView.setContentOffset(bottom, animated: false)

Posting my answer, so that someone else find this helpful.
Thanku all for the support.
