Move a view up so textfield does not disappear behind keyboard

Please try to use this one ...I hope it may help you. And you can put your value on 200 in this line where you wanna your textfield.

 CGFloat avaliableHeight = applicationFrame.size.height - 200; - (void)scrollViewToCenterOfScreen:(UIView *)theView { CGFloat viewCenterY = theView.center.y; CGRect applicationFrame = [[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame]; CGFloat avaliableHeight = applicationFrame.size.height - 200; CGFloat y = viewCenterY - avaliableHeight / 2.0f; if (y < 0) { y = 0; } [scrollView setContentOffset:CGPointMake(0, y) animated:YES]; } -(BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField { [self scrollViewToCenterOfScreen:textField]; return YES; } 

i would suggest , use a dropin replacement library TPKeyboardAvoiding which handles all the work for moving the views, when Keyboard is shown, Its a Very easy way of achieving that

I actually came across this problem yesterday. Here's my code:

#define kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD 80.0 //This decides how many pixels to move the view -(void)keyboardWillShow { // Animate the current view out of the way if (self.view.frame.origin.y >= 0) { [self setViewMovedUp:YES]; } else if (self.view.frame.origin.y < 0) { [self setViewMovedUp:NO]; } } -(void)keyboardWillHide { if (self.view.frame.origin.y >= 0) { [self setViewMovedUp:YES]; } else if (self.view.frame.origin.y < 0) { [self setViewMovedUp:NO]; } } -(void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)sender { if ([sender isEqual:doNotCover]) { //move the main view, so that the keyboard does not hide it. if (self.view.frame.origin.y >= 0) { [self setViewMovedUp:YES]; } } } //method to move the view up/down whenever the keyboard is shown/dismissed -(void)setViewMovedUp:(BOOL)movedUp { [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL]; [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.3]; // if you want to slide up the view CGRect rect = self.view.frame; if (movedUp) { // 1. move the view's origin up so that the text field that will be hidden come above the keyboard // 2. increase the size of the view so that the area behind the keyboard is covered up. rect.origin.y -= kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD; rect.size.height += kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD; } else { // revert back to the normal state. rect.origin.y += kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD; rect.size.height -= kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD; } self.view.frame = rect; [UIView commitAnimations]; } -(void)setViewMovedUp:(BOOL)movedUp { [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL]; [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.3]; // if you want to slide up the view CGRect rect = self.view.frame; if (movedUp) { // 1. move the view's origin up so that the text field that will be hidden come above the keyboard // 2. increase the size of the view so that the area behind the keyboard is covered up. rect.origin.y -= kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD; rect.size.height += kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD; } else { // revert back to the normal state. rect.origin.y += kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD; rect.size.height -= kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD; } } self.view.frame = rect; [UIView commitAnimations]; - (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated { // register for keyboard notifications [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyboardWillShow) name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil]; [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyboardWillHide) name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil]; } - (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated { // unregister for keyboard notifications while not visible. [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil]; [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil]; }
