How to make the textfield move up when keyboard covers it up

Question

I have an application in which I have 2 textfields and a textview. When I click on the first textfield my keyboard popsup and theirs is no problem but when I type in the second textfield my keyboard popsup and covers the textfield.

I want that when I click on the second text field, the textfield should move up little bit so that I can type in and I have a textview. But I have written code for textview so that when I type in textview it automatically moves.

The problem is with textfield. How can I solve this problem?

Consider using a UITableViewController. Otherwise implement UITextFieldDelegate and move your UIView to the desired position in the - (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField method.

+1 for recommending UITableViewController - I can not emphasize enough how much more convenient it is when implementing forms.

This is not the best answer since textFieldDidBeginEditing can be called if the user uses a Bluetooth keyboard, and there is no need for any scrolling. YOu should instead watch keyboard notification events to detect the presence of a keyboard.

Check out the link below - the solution is written by Micheal Tyson. It addresses UITableView and UIScrollView, can be easily changed and works just as a drop-in component. I'm using it and it works well.

Create two methods like given below , first one is for bringing the view slightly upwards, and second one is to bring the view to its original position back

First method:

 [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL]; [UIView setAnimationDuration:.3]; self.view.transform = CGAffineTransformTranslate(self.view.transform, 0, -175); [UIView commitAnimations];

Second method:

[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL]; [UIView setAnimationDuration:.3]; self.view.transform = CGAffineTransformTranslate(self.view.transform, 0, 175); [UIView commitAnimations]; [self.destext resignFirstResponder];

Call these methods on textfieldEditingDidbegin and DidEndonExit

Add the view to a UIScrollView. Then use the UITextFieldDelegate methods to set the contentOffset of the scrollView when textField is tapped. Reset the contentOffset when the user has finished entering text.

I have created a simple subclass of UIView containing UITextView and a send button that moves up when keyboard shows and moves down when keyboard hides. In addition to that, UITextView resizes according to the amount of text in it.

Have a look at here:

An obvious one that you've probably tried already, but one that took me a while to latch onto, is to change from landscape to portrait.
