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

Question

I am trying to build an input screen for the iPhone  The screen has a number of input fields  Most of them on the top of the screen  but two fields are at the bottom   When the user tries to edit the text on the bottom of the screen  the keyboard will pop up and it will cover the screen   I found a simple solution to move the screen up when this happens  but the result is that the screen always moves up and the fields on top of the screen move out of reach when the user tries to edit those    Is there a way to have the screen only move when the bottom fields are edited   I have used this code I found here    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 sender  NSNotification        self view frame origin y -  150    func keyboardWillHide sender  NSNotification        self view frame origin y    150

I use SwiftLint  which had a few issues with the formatting of the accepted answer  Specifically   no space before the colon  no force casting  prefer UIEdgeInset top  etc    instead of UIEdgeInsetMake    so here are those updates for Swift 3  func registerForKeyboardNotifications           Adding notifies on keyboard appearing     NotificationCenter default addObserver self  selector   selector keyboardWasShown notification     name  NSNotification Name UIKeyboardWillShow  object  nil      NotificationCenter default addObserver self  selector   selector keyboardWillBeHidden notification     name  NSNotification Name UIKeyboardWillHide  object  nil     func deregisterFromKeyboardNotifications           Removing notifies on keyboard appearing     NotificationCenter default removeObserver self  name  NSNotification Name UIKeyboardWillShow  object  nil      NotificationCenter default removeObserver self  name  NSNotification Name UIKeyboardWillHide  object  nil     func keyboardWasShown notification  NSNotification          Need to calculate keyboard exact size due to Apple suggestions     scrollView  isScrollEnabled   true     var info   notification userInfo      if let keyboardSize    info UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey  as  NSValue   cgRectValue size           let contentInsets  UIEdgeInsets   UIEdgeInsets top  0 0  left  0 0  bottom  keyboardSize height  right  0 0           scrollView  contentInset   contentInsets         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                                   func keyboardWillBeHidden notification  NSNotification          Once keyboard disappears  restore original positions     var info   notification userInfo      if let keyboardSize    info UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey  as  NSValue   cgRectValue size           let contentInsets  UIEdgeInsets   UIEdgeInsets top  0 0  left  0 0  bottom  -keyboardSize height  right  0 0          scrollView  contentInset   contentInsets         scrollView  scrollIndicatorInsets   contentInsets            view endEditing true      scrollView  isScrollEnabled   false    func textFieldDidBeginEditing   textField  UITextField        activeField   textField    func textFieldDidEndEditing   textField  UITextField        activeField   nil

I think this clause is wrong   if   CGRectContainsPoint aRect  activeField  frame origin     While the activeField s origin may well be above the keyboard  the maxY might not     I would create a  max  point for the activeField and check if that is in the keyboard Rect

Why not implement this in a UITableViewController instead  The keyboard won t hide any text fields when its shown

Is there a way to have the screen only move when the bottom fields are edited    I had a similar problem and found a pretty straightforward solution without using a scrollView  and instead using if statements within the keyboardWillShow Hide methods   func keyboardWillShow notification  NSNotification        if bottomText editing          self view window  frame origin y   -1   getKeyboardHeight notification           func keyboardWillHide notification  NSNotification        if self view window  frame origin y    0           self view window  frame origin y    getKeyboardHeight notification            This was a good solution for me because I only had two text fields   Shifts whole view up  only when certain text fields  bottomText  are edited  Shifts whole view down  only when the view is not at the original location

Awesome answers are already given but this is a different way to deal with this situation  using Swift 3x    First of all call the following method in viewWillAppear    func registerForKeyboardNotifications      NotificationCenter default addObserver self  selector   selector self keyboardWasShown   name  NSNotification Name UIKeyboardDidShow  object  nil  NotificationCenter default addObserver self  selector   selector self keyboardWillBeHidden   name  NSNotification Name UIKeyboardWillHide  object  nil       Now take one IBOutlet of UIView s top constraints of your UIViewcontroller like this   here the UIView is the subview of UIScrollView that means you should have a UIScrollView for all your subViews    IBOutlet weak var loginViewTopConstraint  NSLayoutConstraint    And an another variable like following and add a delegate i e  UITextFieldDelegate   var activeTextField   UITextField     This is to keep the reference of UITextField currently active   After that here is the magical part just paste this below snippet   func keyboardWasShown   notification  Notification     let keyboardInfo    notification userInfo as NSDictionary     print keyboardInfo    let keyboardFrameEnd  NSValue     keyboardInfo  value forKey  UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey  as  NSValue   let keyboardFrameEndRect  CGRect    keyboardFrameEnd  cgRectValue   if activeTextField frame origin y   activeTextField frame size height   10  gt   keyboardFrameEndRect  origin y          UIView animate withDuration  0 3  delay  0  options   transitionFlipFromTop  animations      - gt  Void in            code with animation            Print some stuff to know what is actually happening           print self activeTextField frame origin y            print self activeTextField frame size height            print self activeTextField frame size height           self loginViewTopConstraint constant   - self activeTextField frame origin y   self activeTextField frame size height -  keyboardFrameEndRect  origin y    - 30 0          self view layoutIfNeeded           completion      finished  Bool  - gt  Void in           code for completion              func keyboardWillBeHidden   notification  Notification     UIView animate withDuration  0 3  animations      - gt  Void in      self loginViewTopConstraint constant   self view frame origin y     self view layoutIfNeeded            MARK  textfield delegates func textFieldShouldBeginEditing   textField  UITextField  - gt  Bool       activeTextField   textField     return true    func textFieldShouldReturn   textField  UITextField  - gt  Bool               switch textField       case YOUR TEXTFIELD ONE          YOUR TEXTFIELD TWO becomeFirstResponder           break     case YOUR TEXTFIELD TWO          YOUR TEXTFIELD THREE becomeFirstResponder           break     default          textField resignFirstResponder           break           return true     Now the last snippet     Remove Keyboard Observers override func viewWillDisappear   animated  Bool     NotificationCenter default removeObserver self  name  NSNotification Name UIKeyboardDidShow  object  nil   NotificationCenter default removeObserver self  name  NSNotification Name UIKeyboardWillHide  object  nil      Don t forget to assign delegates to all your UITextFields  in UIStoryboard  Good luck

Swift  You can do this by checking which textField is being presented    objc func keyboardWillShow notification  NSNotification        if self textField isFirstResponder    true           self view frame origin y -  150            objc func keyboardWillHide notification  NSNotification       if self textField isFirstResponder    true          self view frame origin y    150

Just use this extension to move any UIView when keyboard is presented   extension UIView       func bindToKeyboard            NotificationCenter default addObserver self  selector   selector self keyboardWillChange       name  NSNotification Name UIKeyboardWillChangeFrame  object  nil              objc func keyboardWillChange   notification  NSNotification           let duration   notification userInfo  UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey  as  Double         let curve   notification userInfo  UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey  as  UInt         let beginningFrame    notification userInfo  UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey  as  NSValue  cgRectValue         let endFrame    notification userInfo  UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey  as  NSValue  cgRectValue          let deltaY   endFrame origin y - beginningFrame origin y          UIView animateKeyframes withDuration  duration  delay  0 0  options  UIViewKeyframeAnimationOptions rawValue  curve   animations                self frame origin y    deltaY            completion  nil            Then in your viewdidload bind your view to the keyboard   UiView bindToKeyboard

Since there were no answer on how to do this in Combine  here is the approach i used   We create a publisher to listen to both Notifications  show and hide  For show we get the frame of the keyboard from the notifications userInfo and check if the current active responder is contained in it  If it s covered return keyboard frame height  If it is not covered return 0  we don t want to move the frame  For the hide notification we simply return 0   private var keyboardHeightPublisher  AnyPublisher lt CGFloat  Never gt        Publishers Merge          NotificationCenter default              publisher for  UIResponder keyboardWillShowNotification               compactMap    0 userInfo  UIResponder keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey  as  CGRect                map    0 intersects self view firstResponder  frame     0 height   0                map    0   -1            NotificationCenter default              publisher for  UIResponder keyboardWillHideNotification               map     in CGFloat 0          eraseToAnyPublisher      In the viewDidLoad we simply subscribe to the publisher changing the views frame accordingly  override func viewDidLoad         super viewDidLoad        keyboardHeightPublisher sink   weak self  height in         self  view frame origin y   height       store in   amp cancelables     EDIT Be careful  If the firstResponder is in a subview  you have to calculate the frame corresponding to the whole screen to check if they actually intersect  Example  let myViewGlobalFrame   myView convert myView frame  to  parentView

First of all declare a variable to identify your active UITextField   Step 1 -  Like as var activeTextField  UITextField   Step 2 -  After this add these two lines in viewDidLoad   NotificationCenter default addObserver self  selector   selector self keyboardWillShow       name  NSNotification Name UIKeyboardWillShow  object  nil   NotificationCenter default addObserver self  selector   selector self keyboardWillHide       name  NSNotification Name UIKeyboardWillHide  object  nil    Step 3 -   Now define these two methods in your controller class   func keyboardWillShow   notification  NSNotification         self scrollView isScrollEnabled   true     var info   notification userInfo      let keyboardSize    info UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey  as  NSValue   cgRectValue size     let 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 activeField   self activeField           if   aRect contains activeField frame origin                self scrollView scrollRectToVisible activeField frame  animated  true                      func keyboardWillHide   notification  NSNotification         let contentInsets   UIEdgeInsets   UIEdgeInsetsMake 0 0  0 0  0 0  0 0      self scrollView contentInset   contentInsets     self scrollView scrollIndicatorInsets   contentInsets     self view endEditing true      self scrollView isScrollEnabled   true     func textFieldDidBeginEditing   textField  UITextField        activeField   textField    func textFieldDidEndEditing   textField  UITextField        activeField   nil

I forgot to mention that I am new to Swift    What would be the correct syntax to check this   how do I get the field name in this function      Ok   First confirm to the UITextFieldDelegate protocol  class YourClass UITextFieldDelegate   Then implement the function  func textFieldDidBeginEditing textField  UITextField          if textField    txtOne               println  TextOne             if textField    txtTwo               println  TextTwo             You should note that the proper approach is to use a scrollview and place the view that should be shifted up down inside the scroll view and handle keyboard events accordingly

Here is My 2 cents   Have you tried  https   github com hackiftekhar IQKeyboardManager  Extremely easy to install Swift or Objective-C     Here how it works   IQKeyboardManager  Swift  - IQKeyboardManagerSwift is available through CocoaPods  to install it simply add the following line to your Podfile    236   pod  IQKeyboardManagerSwift    In AppDelegate swift  just import IQKeyboardManagerSwift framework and enable IQKeyboardManager   import IQKeyboardManagerSwift   UIApplicationMain class AppDelegate  UIResponder  UIApplicationDelegate        var window  UIWindow       func application application  UIApplication  didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions   NSObject  AnyObject    - gt  Bool        IQKeyboardManager sharedManager   enable   true        For Swift 4  use this instead        IQKeyboardManager shared enable   true       return true           And that is all  Easy

Here s my version after reading the documentation provided by Apple and the previous posts  One thing I noticed is that the textView was not handled when covered by the keyboard  Unfortunately  Apple s documentation won t work because  for whatever reason  the keyboard is called AFTER the textViewDidBeginEditing is called  I handled this by calling a central method that checks if the keyboard is displayed AND if a textView or textField is being edited  This way  the process is only fired when BOTH conditions exists   Another point with textViews is that their height may be such that the keyboard clips the bottom of the textView and would not adjust if the Top-Left point of the was in view  So  the code I wrote actually takes the screen-referenced Bottom-Left point of any textView or textField and sees if it falls in the screen-referenced coordinates of the presented keyboard implying that the keyboard covers some portion of it   let aRect   CGRect   scrollView convertRect activeFieldRect   toView  nil      if  CGRectContainsPoint keyboardRect   CGPointMake aRect origin x  aRect maxY                 scroll textView textField into view         If you re using a navigation controller  the subclass also sets the scroll view automatic adjustment for insets to false   self automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets   false   It walks through each textView and textField to set delegates for handling      for view in self view subviews           if view is UITextView               let tv   view as  UITextView             tv delegate   self           else if

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 -

The accepted anwser is nearly perfect   But I need to use UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey instead of UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey  because the latter return keyborad height 0  And change the hittest point to the bottom not origin        var aRect   CGRect   self view frame     aRect size height -  keyboardSize  height     if let activeField   self activeField           var point   activeField frame origin         point y    activeField frame size height         if   aRect contains point                self scrollView scrollRectToVisible activeField frame  animated  true
