Move textfield when keyboard appears swift

Question

I m using Swift for programing with iOS and I m using this code to move the UITextField  but it does not work  I call the function keyboardWillShow correctly  but the textfield doesn t move  I m using autolayout   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      deinit       NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter   removeObserver self      func keyboardWillShow notification  NSNotification        if let keyboardSize    notification userInfo  UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey  as  NSValue   CGRectValue               let contentInsets   UIEdgeInsets top  0  left  0  bottom  keyboardSize height  right  0           var frame   self ChatField frame         frame origin y   frame origin y - keyboardSize height   167         self chatField frame   frame         println  asdasd

None of them worked for and I ended up using content insets to move my view up when the keyboard appears.

Note: I was using a UITableView

Referenced solution @ keyboard-content-offset which was entirely written in objective C, the below solution is clean Swift.

Add the notification observer @ viewDidLoad()

NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: #selector(yourClass.keyboardWillBeShown), name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil);
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: #selector(yourClass.keyboardWillBeHidden), name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification, object: nil);

To get the keyboard size, we first get the userInfo dictionary from the notification object, which stores any additional objects that our receiver might use.

From that dictionary we can get the CGRect object describing the keyboard’s frame by using the key UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey.

Apply the content inset for the table view @ keyboardWillBeShown method,

func keyboardWillBeShown(sender: NSNotification)
{        
    // Move the table view

    if let keyboardSize = (sender.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.CGRectValue()
    {
        let contentInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.0, 0.0, (keyboardSize.height), 0.0);

        yourTableView.contentInset = contentInsets;

        yourTableView.scrollIndicatorInsets = contentInsets;
    }
}

Restore the view @ keyboardWillBeHidden method

func keyboardWillBeHidden(sender: NSNotification)
{
    // Moving back the table view back to the default position

    yourTableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsZero;

    yourTableView.scrollIndicatorInsets = UIEdgeInsetsZero;
}

If you want to keep the device orientation also into consideration, use conditional statements to tailor the code to your needs.

// Portrait
UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.0, 0.0, (keyboardSize.height), 0.0);

// Landscape
UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.0, 0.0, (keyboardSize.width), 0.0);

This is an improved version of  JosephLord and  Hlung s answer   It can apply whether you have tabbar or not   And it would perfectly restore view that is moved by keyboard to original position         You have to set this up in storyboard first       It s a vertical spacing constraint between view and bottom of superview   IBOutlet weak var bottomSpacingConstraint  NSLayoutConstraint    override func viewDidLoad             super viewDidLoad                              Receive Get  Notification         NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter   addObserver self  selector   keyboardNotification    name  UIKeyboardWillShowNotification  object  nil          NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter   addObserver self  selector   keyboardNotification    name  UIKeyboardWillHideNotification  object  nil            self originalConstraint   self keyboardHeightLayoutConstraint  constant   for original coordinate     func keyboardNotification notification  NSNotification            let isShowing   notification name    UIKeyboardWillShowNotification          var tabbarHeight  CGFloat   0         if self tabBarController     nil               tabbarHeight   self tabBarController  tabBar frame height                   if let userInfo   notification userInfo               let endFrame    userInfo UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey  as  NSValue   CGRectValue               let duration NSTimeInterval    userInfo UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey  as  NSNumber   doubleValue    0             let animationCurveRawNSN   userInfo UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey  as  NSNumber             let animationCurveRaw   animationCurveRawNSN  unsignedLongValue    UIViewAnimationOptions CurveEaseInOut rawValue             let animationCurve UIViewAnimationOptions   UIViewAnimationOptions rawValue  animationCurveRaw              self keyboardHeightLayoutConstraint  constant   isShowing    endFrame  size height - tabbarHeight    self originalConstraint              UIView animateWithDuration duration                  delay  NSTimeInterval 0                   options  animationCurve                  animations    self view layoutIfNeeded                      completion  nil

The following is a simple solution  whereby the text field has a constraint tying it to the bottom layout guide  It simply adds the keyboard height to the constraint s constant      This constraint ties the text field to the bottom layout guide  IBOutlet var textFieldToBottomLayoutGuideConstraint  NSLayoutConstraint   override func viewDidLoad         super viewDidLoad        NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter   addObserver self  selector   keyboardWillShow    name UIKeyboardWillShowNotification  object  nil       NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter   addObserver self  selector   keyboardWillHide    name UIKeyboardWillHideNotification  object  nil      func keyboardWillShow sender  NSNotification        if let keyboardSize    sender userInfo  UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey  as  NSValue   CGRectValue             self textFieldToBottomLayoutGuideConstraint  constant    keyboardSize height          func keyboardWillHide sender  NSNotification        if let keyboardSize    sender userInfo  UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey  as  NSValue   CGRectValue             self textFieldToBottomLayoutGuideConstraint  constant -  keyboardSize height

If you re using Auto Layout  I assume you ve set the Bottom Space to Superview constraint  If that s the case  you simply have to update the constraint s value  Here s how you do it with a little bit of animation   func keyboardWasShown notification  NSNotification        let info   notification userInfo      let keyboardFrame  CGRect    info UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey  as  NSValue  CGRectValue        UIView animateWithDuration 0 1  animations       - gt  Void in         self bottomConstraint constant   keyboardFrame size height   20            The hardcoded 20 is added only to pop the textfield above the keyboard just a bit  Otherwise the keyboard s top margin and textfield s bottom margin would be touching   When the keyboard is dismissed  reset the constraint s value to its original one

Edit  I recommend an easier and cleaner solution  Just change the class of bottom spacing constraint to KeyboardLayoutConstraint  It will automatically expand to the keyboard height     This is an improved version of  JosephLord  s answer    As tested on iOS 8 3 iPad Simulator  Portrait  Xcode6 3 beta4  I found his answer doesn t work when keyboard is hiding because UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey is  NSRect    0  1024    768  264      The height is never 0   This goes back to use the traditional UIKeyboardWillShowNotification and UIKeyboardWillHideNotification to better tell when keyboard is hiding rather than relying on the end frame s height  UIKeyboardWillShowNotification is also sent when keyboard frame is changed so it should cover all use cases          You have to set this up in storyboard first           It s a vertical spacing constraint between view and bottom of superview       IBOutlet weak var bottomSpacingConstraint  NSLayoutConstraint        override func viewDidLoad             super viewDidLoad            NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter   addObserver self  selector  Selector  keyboardNotification     name UIKeyboardWillShowNotification  object  nil           NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter   addObserver self  selector  Selector  keyboardNotification     name UIKeyboardWillHideNotification  object  nil              deinit           NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter   removeObserver self             func keyboardNotification notification  NSNotification             let isShowing   notification name    UIKeyboardWillShowNotification          if let userInfo   notification userInfo               let endFrame    userInfo UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey  as  NSValue   CGRectValue               let endFrameHeight   endFrame  size height    0 0             let duration NSTimeInterval    userInfo UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey  as  NSNumber   doubleValue    0             let animationCurveRawNSN   userInfo UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey  as  NSNumber             let animationCurveRaw   animationCurveRawNSN  unsignedLongValue    UIViewAnimationOptions CurveEaseInOut rawValue             let animationCurve UIViewAnimationOptions   UIViewAnimationOptions rawValue  animationCurveRaw              self bottomSpacingConstraint  constant   isShowing   endFrameHeight   0 0             UIView animateWithDuration duration                  delay  NSTimeInterval 0                   options  animationCurve                  animations    self view layoutIfNeeded                      completion  nil

Easiest way that doesn t require any code    Download KeyboardLayoutConstraint swift and add  drag  amp  drop  the file into your project  if you re not using the Spring animation framework already  In your storyboard  create a bottom constraint for the object view textfield  select the constraint  double-click it  and in the Identity Inspector  change its class from NSLayoutConstraint to KeyboardLayoutConstraint  Done     The object will auto-move up with the keyboard  in sync

Just enclose your textbox inside a view and then override inputAccessoryView returning the view   Important  Your view should be created programmatically  Do not use  IBOutlets    override var inputAccessoryView  UIView        get           return newlyProgramaticallyCreatedView

For anyone not using storyboards to set the layout constraint  This is a pure programmatic way to get it working on Swift 5   Define an empty constraint in your viewController  In this case  I am building a chat app that has a UIView containing text view at the very bottom of the screen   var discussionsMessageBoxBottomAnchor  NSLayoutConstraint   NSLayoutConstraint     In viewDidLoad add the constraints for the bottom-most view  In this case discussionsMessageBox  Also  add the listener for keyboard events   For correctly initializing the constraint  you need to first add the subview and then define the constraint  NotificationCenter default addObserver self                                         selector   selector self keyboardNotification notification                                            name  NSNotification Name UIKeyboardWillChangeFrame                                         object  nil   view addSubview discussionsMessageBox   if  available iOS 11 0           discussionsMessageBoxBottomAnchor   discussionsMessageBox bottomAnchor constraint equalTo  view safeAreaLayoutGuide bottomAnchor  constant  0    else          Fallback on earlier versions     discussionsMessageBoxBottomAnchor   discussionsMessageBox bottomAnchor constraint equalTo  view bottomAnchor  constant  0     NSLayoutConstraint activate   discussionsMessageBoxBottomAnchor       Define deinit   deinit           NotificationCenter default removeObserver self          Next add the code that  JosephLord defined  with one correction to fix offset math   extension DiscussionsViewController        objc func keyboardNotification notification  NSNotification            guard let userInfo   notification userInfo else   return                    let endFrame    userInfo UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey  as  NSValue   cgRectValue         let endFrameY   endFrame  origin y    0         let duration TimeInterval    userInfo UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey  as  NSNumber   doubleValue    0         let animationCurveRawNSN   userInfo UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey  as  NSNumber         let animationCurveRaw   animationCurveRawNSN  uintValue    UIView AnimationOptions curveEaseInOut rawValue         let animationCurve UIView AnimationOptions   UIView AnimationOptions rawValue  animationCurveRaw                   if endFrameY  gt   UIScreen main bounds size height               self discussionsMessageBoxBottomAnchor constant   0 0           else                 Changed line             self discussionsMessageBoxBottomAnchor constant   -1    endFrame  size height    0 0                             UIView animate              withDuration  duration              delay  TimeInterval 0               options  animationCurve              animations    self view layoutIfNeeded                  completion  nil

Swift 4 1   Use TPKeyBoardAvoiding class for achieving this  This works fine with UIScrollView  UICollectionView  UITableView   Just assign this class to your scrollview  collectionview or tableview in storyboard or create its object programmatically  All textfield or textviews inside TPKeyboardAvoiding scrollview will adjust automatically when the keyboard appears and disappears   Here is the link for TPKeyboardAvoiding   TPKeyboardAvoiding for Swift 4 1   import Foundation import UIKit     MARK  -

The Swift 4 solution I use  takes in keyboard size  Replace serverStatusStackView with whatever view you care about  e g   self view   deinit       NotificationCenter default removeObserver self      objc func keyboardWillShow notification  NSNotification        if let keyboardSize    notification userInfo  UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey  as  NSValue   cgRectValue           serverStatusStackView frame origin y   keyboardSize height   2 - serverStatusStackView frame height           objc func keyboardWillHide notification  NSNotification        if let keyboardSize    notification userInfo  UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey  as  NSValue   cgRectValue           serverStatusStackView frame origin y    keyboardSize height          override func viewDidLoad         super viewDidLoad       NotificationCenter default addObserver self  selector   selector keyboardWillShow notification     name  NSNotification Name UIKeyboardWillShow  object  nil       NotificationCenter default addObserver self  selector   selector keyboardWillHide notification     name  NSNotification Name UIKeyboardWillHide  object  nil

If you re like me  using Autolayout and not getting the keyboard when running the App on a simulator  This might be because Apple make you use the keyboard of you re computer as first Keyboard   To make the keyboard from the device appear     shift   cmd   K  Sounds stupid but I would have loved to find this answer 3 hours ago

If you are like me who has tried all the above solutions and still your problem is not solved  I have a got a great solution for you that works like a charm  First I want clarify few things about some of solutions mentioned above    In my case IQkeyboardmanager was working only when there is no auto layout applied on the elements  if it is applied then IQkeyboard manager will not work the way we think  Same thing with upward movement of self view  i have wriiten a objective c header with a swift support for pushing UITexfield upward when user clicks on it  solving the problem of keyboard covering the UITextfield   https   github com coolvasanth smart keyboard  One who has An intermediate or higher level in iOS app development can easily understand the repository and implement it  All the best

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  gt   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

I love clean Swift code  So here s the tightest code I could come up with to move a text view up down with the keyboard  It s currently working in an iOS8 9 Swift 2 production app   UPDATE  March 2016   I just tightened up my previous code as much as possible  Also  there are a bunch of popular answers here that hardcode the keyboard height and animation parameters  There s no need for that  not to mention that the numbers in these answers don t always line up with the actual values I m seeing on my 6s  iOS9  keyboard height of 226  duration of 0 25  and animation curve of 7   In any case  it s almost no extra code to get those values straight from the system  See below   override func viewDidLoad         super viewDidLoad        NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter   addObserver self  selector   animateWithKeyboard    name  UIKeyboardWillShowNotification  object  nil      NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter   addObserver self  selector   animateWithKeyboard    name  UIKeyboardWillHideNotification  object  nil     func animateWithKeyboard notification  NSNotification            Based on both Apple s docs and personal experience          I assume userInfo and its documented keys are available         If you d like  you can remove the forced unwrapping and add your own default values       let userInfo   notification userInfo      let keyboardHeight    userInfo UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey  as  NSValue  CGRectValue   height     let duration   userInfo UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey  as  Double     let curve   userInfo UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey  as  UInt     let moveUp    notification name    UIKeyboardWillShowNotification          baseContraint is your Auto Layout constraint that pins the        text view to the bottom of the superview       baseConstraint constant   moveUp   -keyboardHeight   0      let options   UIViewAnimationOptions rawValue  curve  lt  lt  16      UIView animateWithDuration duration  delay  0  options  options          animations                self view layoutIfNeeded                      completion  nil            NOTE  This code covers the most comment general case  However  more code may be needed to handle different orientations and or custom keyboards Here s an in-depth article on working with the iOS keyboard  If you need to handle every scenario  this may help

Well  I think i might be too late but i found another simple version of Saqib s answer  I m using Autolayout with constraints  I have a small view inside of another main view with username and password fields  Instead of changing the y coordinate of the view i m saving the original constraint value in a variable and changing the constraint s constant to some value and again after the keyboard dismisses  i m setting up the constraint to original one  This way it avoids the problem Saqib s answer has   The view keeps on moving up and does not stop   Below is my code      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       self originalConstraint   self centerYConstraint constant        func keyboardWillShow sender  NSNotification        self centerYConstraint constant    30        func keyboardWillHide sender  NSNotification        self centerYConstraint constant   self originalConstraint

I created a Swift 3 protocol to handle the keyboard appearance   disappearance  import UIKit  protocol KeyboardHandler  class    var bottomConstraint  NSLayoutConstraint    get set        func keyboardWillShow   notification  Notification      func keyboardWillHide   notification  Notification      func startObservingKeyboardChanges       func stopObservingKeyboardChanges       extension KeyboardHandler where Self  UIViewController        func startObservingKeyboardChanges                 NotificationCenter observers         NotificationCenter default addObserver forName  NSNotification Name UIKeyboardWillShow  object  nil  queue  nil     weak self  notification in           self  keyboardWillShow notification                        Deal with rotations         NotificationCenter default addObserver forName  NSNotification Name UIKeyboardWillChangeFrame  object  nil  queue  nil     weak self  notification in           self  keyboardWillShow notification                        Deal with keyboard change  emoji  numerical  etc           NotificationCenter default addObserver forName  NSNotification Name UITextInputCurrentInputModeDidChange  object  nil  queue  nil     weak self  notification in           self  keyboardWillShow notification                     NotificationCenter default addObserver forName  NSNotification Name UIKeyboardWillHide  object  nil  queue  nil     weak self  notification in           self  keyboardWillHide notification                        func keyboardWillShow   notification  Notification           let verticalPadding  CGFloat   20    Padding between the bottom of the view and the top of the keyboard        guard let value   notification userInfo  UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey  as  NSValue else   return         let keyboardHeight   value cgRectValue height           Here you could have more complex rules  like checking if the textField currently selected is actually covered by the keyboard  but that s out of this scope        self bottomConstraint constant   keyboardHeight   verticalPadding        UIView animate withDuration  0 1  animations       - gt  Void in           self view layoutIfNeeded                    func keyboardWillHide   notification  Notification          self bottomConstraint constant   0        UIView animate withDuration  0 1  animations       - gt  Void in           self view layoutIfNeeded                    func stopObservingKeyboardChanges           NotificationCenter default removeObserver self           Then  to implement it in a UIViewController  do the following    let the viewController conform to this protocol    class FormMailVC  UIViewControlle  KeyboardHandler    start observing keyboard changes in viewWillAppear      MARK  - View controller life cycle override func viewWillAppear   animated  Bool      super viewWillAppear animated    startObservingKeyboardChanges      stop observing keyboard changes in viewWillDisappear   override func viewWillDisappear   animated  Bool      super viewWillDisappear animated    stopObservingKeyboardChanges      create an IBOutlet for the bottom constraint from the storyboard      NSLayoutConstraints  IBOutlet weak var bottomConstraint  NSLayoutConstraint     I recommend having all of your UI embedded inside a  contentView   and linking to this property the bottom constraint from this contentView to the bottom layout guide   change the constraint priority of the top constraint to 250  low      This is to let the whole content view slide upwards when the keyboard appears  The priority must be lower than any other constraint priority in the subviews  including content hugging priorities   content compression resistance priorities    Make sure that your Autolayout has enough constraints to determine how the contentView should slide up    You may have to add a  greater than equal  constraint for this    And here you go

Another solution that doesn t depend on autolayout  constraints or any outlets  What you do need is your field s  in a scrollview   override func viewDidLoad         super viewDidLoad        NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter   addObserver self  selector   makeSpaceForKeyboard    name  UIKeyboardWillShowNotification  object  nil      NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter   addObserver self  selector   makeSpaceForKeyboard    name  UIKeyboardWillHideNotification  object  nil     func makeSpaceForKeyboard notification  NSNotification        let info   notification userInfo      let keyboardHeight CGFloat    info UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey  as  NSValue  CGRectValue   size height     let duration Double   info UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey  as  Double      if notification name    UIKeyboardWillShowNotification           UIView animateWithDuration duration  animations       - gt  Void in             var frame   self view frame             frame size height   frame size height - keyboardHeight             self view frame   frame                  else           UIView animateWithDuration duration  animations       - gt  Void in             var frame   self view frame             frame size height   frame size height   keyboardHeight             self view frame   frame
