So I've set up a notification for the keyboard appearance event. Now let us consider a UITextView and a UITextField.
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(keyboardWillShow:)
name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification
object:nil];
The selector is:
- (void)keyboardWillShow:(NSNotification *)notification {
keyboardSize = [[[notification userInfo] objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size;
}
In case of a UITextView, the delegate method - (void)textViewDidBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView
is fired AFTER the keyboardWillShow:
method. So keyboardSize has the keyboard's actual size and I'm able to use that inside the textview delegate method.
However in case of a UITextField, the corresponding delegate method - (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
is fired BEFORE the keyboardWillShow:
method.
Why is this so? How do I get the keyboard's CGSize
in the textfield's case as now it just returns zero because the textfield delegate is called first and not the keyboard selector.
I've had this same problem. Try using:
- (BOOL)textViewShouldBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView
