Find out when UIKeyboard.frame intersects with other frame?
- listen to size changes of the keyboard
- CONVERT the coordinates
working sample:
@IBOutlet weak var textView: UITextView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
//keyboard observers
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillChange), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillChangeFrame, object: nil)
}
func keyboardWillChange(notification:NSNotification)
{
print("Keyboard size changed")
if let keyboardSize = notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? CGRect {
//convert gotten rect
let r = self.view.convert(keyboardSize, from: nil)
//test it
if r.intersects(textView.frame) {
print("intersects!!!")
}
}
}
Using only UIKeyboardWillChangeFrameNotification notification
Updated for Swift 5 on 2021-05-17
It is definitely possible and can cut your code just about in half. The following example uses Auto Layout for a lot of the heavy lifting.
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(
forName: UIResponder.keyboardWillChangeFrameNotification,
object: nil,
queue: nil
) { (notification) in
guard let userInfo = notification.userInfo,
let frameEnd = userInfo[UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? CGRect,
let curveRaw = userInfo[UIResponder.keyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey] as? Int,
let curve = UIView.AnimationCurve(rawValue: curveRaw),
let duration = userInfo[UIResponder.keyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] as? TimeInterval
else { return }
// Convert the frame rects you're interested in to a common coordinate space
let keyboardRect = self.view.convert(frameEnd, from: nil)
let formContainerRect = self.view.convert(self.formContainerView.frame, from: nil)
// Calculate their intersection and adjust your constraints accordingly
let intersection = keyboardRect.intersection(formContainerRect)
if !intersection.isNull {
// Some overlap; adjust the bottom of your views (what you do here will vary)
self.formContainerBottomConstraint?.constant = intersection.size.height
} else {
// No overlap; reset your views to its default position
self.formContainerBottomConstraint?.constant = 0
}
let animator = UIViewPropertyAnimator.init(duration: duration, curve: curve) {
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}
animator.startAnimation()
}
self.formContainerBottomConstraint
is a NSLayoutConstraint
that binds the bottom of my (imaginary) form to the bottom of my view. This code animates the field up when the keyboard appears and down when it disappears.
All of that was possible in iOS < 8 by using a combination of UIKeyboardWillShowNotification
and UIKeyboardWillHideNotification
. But! As you say, iOS 8 introduced the QuickType section which can be collapsed or expanded by the user. This solution is super versatile and will let your app respond to whatever keyboard changes the OS throws your way.
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
}
Move textfield when keyboard appears swift
There are a couple of improvements to be made on the existing answers.
Firstly the UIKeyboardWillChangeFrameNotification is probably the best notification as it handles changes that aren't just show/hide but changes due to keyboard changes (language, using 3rd party keyboards etc.) and rotations too (but note comment below indicating the keyboard will hide should also be handled to support hardware keyboard connection).
Secondly the animation parameters can be pulled from the notification to ensure that animations are properly together.
There are probably options to clean up this code a bit more especially if you are comfortable with force unwrapping the dictionary code.
class MyViewController: UIViewController {
// This constraint ties an element at zero points from the bottom layout guide
@IBOutlet var keyboardHeightLayoutConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint?
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self,
selector: #selector(self.keyboardNotification(notification:)),
name: UIResponder.keyboardWillChangeFrameNotification,
object: nil)
}
deinit {
NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self)
}
@objc func keyboardNotification(notification: NSNotification) {
guard let userInfo = notification.userInfo else { return }
let endFrame = (userInfo[UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue
let endFrameY = endFrame?.origin.y ?? 0
let duration:TimeInterval = (userInfo[UIResponder.keyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] as? NSNumber)?.doubleValue ?? 0
let animationCurveRawNSN = userInfo[UIResponder.keyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey] as? NSNumber
let animationCurveRaw = animationCurveRawNSN?.uintValue ?? UIView.AnimationOptions.curveEaseInOut.rawValue
let animationCurve:UIView.AnimationOptions = UIView.AnimationOptions(rawValue: animationCurveRaw)
if endFrameY >= UIScreen.main.bounds.size.height {
self.keyboardHeightLayoutConstraint?.constant = 0.0
} else {
self.keyboardHeightLayoutConstraint?.constant = endFrame?.size.height ?? 0.0
}
UIView.animate(
withDuration: duration,
delay: TimeInterval(0),
options: animationCurve,
animations: { self.view.layoutIfNeeded() },
completion: nil)
}
}
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 can I make a UITextField move up when the keyboard is present - on starting to edit?
You will only need a
ScrollView
if the contents you have now do not fit in the iPhone screen. (If you are adding theScrollView
as the superview of the components just to make theTextField
scroll up when keyboard comes up, then it's not needed.)The standard way to prevent the
TextField
s 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)
name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification
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
object:nil];
}
