iphone: scroll in a view

Question

I would like to ask a basic iphone question. I have many TextFields in iPhone view, when I tap to input in a TextField, the Keyboard shows up and hide other TextField. I would like to make the parent view scrollable. Would you please show me the example code?

Thank you very much

You can listen for the keyboard up and down notification. and move your view just above height of keyboard.

In the ViewWillAppear method:

NSNotificationCenter *nc = [NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter];
[nc addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyboardWillShow:) name: UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
[nc addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyboardWillHide:) name: UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];

In the ViewWillDisAppear method:

  [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil]; 
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil]; 

And then have methods referred to above to adjust the position of the bar:

-(void) keyboardWillShow:(NSNotification *) note
{
    CGRect r  = bar.frame, t;
    [[note.userInfo valueForKey:UIKeyboardBoundsUserInfoKey] getValue: &t];
    r.origin.y -=  t.size.height;
    bar.frame = r;
}




 -(void) keyboardWillHide:(NSNotification *) note
    {
        CGRect r  = bar.frame, t;
        [[note.userInfo valueForKey:UIKeyboardBoundsUserInfoKey] getValue: &t];
        r.origin.y +=  t.size.height;
        bar.frame = r;
    }

Answer 3

If the parentview is UIScrollView then try something like in textfield delegate

- (BOOL) textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)theTextField
{   

    if (theTextField == textFieldName)  { 
        [scroll scrollRectToVisible:CGRectMake(0, 160, 280, 440) animated:YES];//choose the rect accordingly.
    }
    return YES; 

}
