DAKeyboardControl allows you to easily add keyboard awareness and scrolling dismissal (a receding keyboard ala iMessages app) to any UIView, UIScrollView or UITableView with only 1 line of code. DAKeyboardControl automatically extends UIView and provides a block callback with the keyboard's current origin.
DAKeyboardControl now fully supports orientation changes, iPhone & iPad, and is even aware of keyboard undocking or splitting on the iPad.
No hacks, fully App Store safe.
Video demonstration on YouTube
- Copy over the
DAKeyboardControlfolder to your project folder. #import "DAKeyboardControl.h"
Example project included (DAKeyboardControlExample)
[self.view addKeyboardPanningWithActionHandler:^(CGRect keyboardFrameInView) {
// Move interface objects accordingly
// Animation block is handled for you
}];[self.view addKeyboardNonpanningWithActionHander:^(CGRect keyboardFrameInView) {
// Move interface objects accordingly
// Animation block is handled for you
}];The keyboardTriggerOffset property allows you to choose at what point the user's finger "engages" the keyboard.
self.view.keyboardTriggerOffset = 44.0f; // Input view frame height
[self.view addKeyboardPanningWithActionHandler:^(CGRect keyboardFrameInView) {
// Move input view accordingly
// Animation block is handled for you
}];All code is iOS 4.0+ safe and well documented, and is already in production apps on the App Store.
Make sure to call addKeyboardPanningWithActionHandler: on the UITextView itself if you wish for it to allow panning inside itself.
Standard issue. Use Brandon William's UIResponder category to cache the keyboard before first use.
DAKeyboardControl was made with ARC enabled by default.
