[ios] Move textfield when keyboard appears swift

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)
        }
    }
