Disable iOS8 Quicktype Keyboard programmatically on UITextView

Question

I\'m trying to update an app for iOS8, which has a chat interface, but the new Quicktype keyboard hides the text view, so I would like to turn it off programmatically or in

Answer 1

You may disable the keyboard suggestions / autocomplete / QuickType for a UITextView which can block the text on smaller screens like the 4S as shown in this example

with the following line:

myTextView.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;

And further if youd like to do this only on a specific screen such as targeting the 4S

if([[UIDevice currentDevice]userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone) {
    CGFloat screenHeight = [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height;
    if (screenHeight == 568) {
        // iphone 5 screen
    }
    else if (screenHeight < 568) {
       // smaller than iphone 5 screen thus 4s
    }
}
