Move a View Up Only When the Keyboard Covers an Input Field

Move a view up only when the keyboard covers an input field

Your problem is well explained in this document by Apple. Example code on this page (at Listing 4-1) does exactly what you need, it will scroll your view only when the current editing should be under the keyboard. You only need to put your needed controls in a scrollViiew.
The only problem is that this is Objective-C and I think you need it in Swift..so..here it is:

Declare a variable

var activeField: UITextField?

then add these methods

 func registerForKeyboardNotifications()
{
    //Adding notifies on keyboard appearing
    NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: "keyboardWasShown:", name: UIKeyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil)
    NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: "keyboardWillBeHidden:", name: UIKeyboardWillHideNotification, object: nil)
}


func deregisterFromKeyboardNotifications()
{
    //Removing notifies on keyboard appearing
    NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().removeObserver(self, name: UIKeyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil)
    NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().removeObserver(self, name: UIKeyboardWillHideNotification, object: nil)
}

func keyboardWasShown(notification: NSNotification)
{
    //Need to calculate keyboard exact size due to Apple suggestions
    self.scrollView.scrollEnabled = true
    var info : NSDictionary = notification.userInfo!
    var keyboardSize = (info[UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.CGRectValue().size
    var contentInsets : UIEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.0, 0.0, keyboardSize!.height, 0.0)

    self.scrollView.contentInset = contentInsets
    self.scrollView.scrollIndicatorInsets = contentInsets

    var aRect : CGRect = self.view.frame
    aRect.size.height -= keyboardSize!.height
    if let activeFieldPresent = activeField
    {
        if (!CGRectContainsPoint(aRect, activeField!.frame.origin))
        {
            self.scrollView.scrollRectToVisible(activeField!.frame, animated: true)
        }
    }


}


func keyboardWillBeHidden(notification: NSNotification)
{
    //Once keyboard disappears, restore original positions
    var info : NSDictionary = notification.userInfo!
    var keyboardSize = (info[UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.CGRectValue().size
    var contentInsets : UIEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.0, 0.0, -keyboardSize!.height, 0.0)
    self.scrollView.contentInset = contentInsets
    self.scrollView.scrollIndicatorInsets = contentInsets
    self.view.endEditing(true)
    self.scrollView.scrollEnabled = false

}

func textFieldDidBeginEditing(textField: UITextField!)
{
    activeField = textField
}

func textFieldDidEndEditing(textField: UITextField!)
{
    activeField = nil
}

Be sure to declare your ViewController as UITextFieldDelegate and set correct delegates in your initialization methods:
ex:

self.you_text_field.delegate = self

And remember to call registerForKeyboardNotifications on viewInit and deregisterFromKeyboardNotifications on exit.

Edit/Update: Swift 4.2 Syntax

func registerForKeyboardNotifications(){
    //Adding notifies on keyboard appearing
    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWasShown(notification:)), name: NSNotification.Name.UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil)
    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillBeHidden(notification:)), name: NSNotification.Name.UIResponder.keyboardWillHideNotification, object: nil)
}

func deregisterFromKeyboardNotifications(){
    //Removing notifies on keyboard appearing
    NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self, name: NSNotification.Name.UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil)
    NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self, name: NSNotification.Name.UIResponder.keyboardWillHideNotification, object: nil)
}

@objc func keyboardWasShown(notification: NSNotification){
    //Need to calculate keyboard exact size due to Apple suggestions
    self.scrollView.isScrollEnabled = true
    var info = notification.userInfo!
    let keyboardSize = (info[UIResponder.keyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue.size
    let contentInsets : UIEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0.0, left: 0.0, bottom: keyboardSize!.height, right: 0.0)

    self.scrollView.contentInset = contentInsets
    self.scrollView.scrollIndicatorInsets = contentInsets

    var aRect : CGRect = self.view.frame
    aRect.size.height -= keyboardSize!.height
    if let activeField = self.activeField {
        if (!aRect.contains(activeField.frame.origin)){
            self.scrollView.scrollRectToVisible(activeField.frame, animated: true)
        }
    }
}

@objc func keyboardWillBeHidden(notification: NSNotification){
    //Once keyboard disappears, restore original positions
    var info = notification.userInfo!
    let keyboardSize = (info[UIResponder.keyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue.size
    let contentInsets : UIEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0.0, left: 0.0, bottom: -keyboardSize!.height, right: 0.0)
    self.scrollView.contentInset = contentInsets
    self.scrollView.scrollIndicatorInsets = contentInsets
    self.view.endEditing(true)
    self.scrollView.isScrollEnabled = false
}

func textFieldDidBeginEditing(_ textField: UITextField){
    activeField = textField
}

func textFieldDidEndEditing(_ textField: UITextField){
    activeField = nil
}

Keyboard covers text fields at the bottom of my view

This code will work, making your textField animating to above keyboard if its frame intersects with that of keyboard and animating back to original position on keyboard hide.

@IBOutlet weak var textField: UITextField!

  var offsetY:CGFloat = 0

  override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)
    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(ViewController.keyboardFrameChangeNotification(notification:)), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillChangeFrame, object: nil)
  }

  func keyboardFrameChangeNotification(notification: Notification) {
    if let userInfo = notification.userInfo {
      let endFrame = userInfo[UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? CGRect
      let animationDuration = userInfo[UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] as? Double ?? 0
      let animationCurveRawValue = (userInfo[UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey] as? Int) ?? Int(UIViewAnimationOptions.curveEaseInOut.rawValue)
      let animationCurve = UIViewAnimationOptions(rawValue: UInt(animationCurveRawValue))
      if let _ = endFrame, endFrame!.intersects(self.textField.frame) {
        self.offsetY = self.textField.frame.maxY - endFrame!.minY
        UIView.animate(withDuration: animationDuration, delay: TimeInterval(0), options: animationCurve, animations: {
          self.textField.frame.origin.y = self.textField.frame.origin.y - self.offsetY
        }, completion: nil)
      } else {
        if self.offsetY != 0 {
          UIView.animate(withDuration: animationDuration, delay: TimeInterval(0), options: animationCurve, animations: {
            self.textField.frame.origin.y = self.textField.frame.origin.y + self.offsetY
            self.offsetY = 0
          }, completion: nil)
        }
      }
    }
  }

How to move a UITextView when the keyboard covers it

The actual solution turned out to be very simple.

On the UITextView, set scrollingEnabled to False.

Thanks for all the assistance.

Move textfield up when keyboard covers it up

https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/StringsTextFonts/Conceptual/TextAndWebiPhoneOS/KeyboardManagement/KeyboardManagement.html

Look at "Receiving keyboard notifications".

The code samples in that document are all Obj-C so you'll have to convert it to swift on your own, but as @jtbandes said, it's not a swift question per se.

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
    }
}

Keyboard covers UITextView

For UITextView it doesn't work, so i do this with contentOffset.

Swift 5

extension SummaryViewController {
    
    private func registerKeyboardNotifications() {
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillShow(_:)), name: UIControl.keyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil)
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillHide(_:)), name: UIControl.keyboardWillHideNotification, object: nil)
    }

    @objc func keyboardWillShow(_ notification: Notification) {
        guard let keyboardFrameValue = notification.userInfo?[UIResponder.keyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue else { return }
        let keyboardFrame = view.convert(keyboardFrameValue.cgRectValue, from: nil)
        scrollView.contentOffset = CGPoint(x: 0, y: keyboardFrame.size.height)
    }

    @objc func keyboardWillHide(_ notification: Notification) {
        scrollView.contentOffset = .zero
    }
}
