Get UITableView to scroll to the selected UITextField and Avoid Being Hidden by Keyboard

Question

I have a UITextField in a table view on a UIViewController (not a UITableViewController). If the table view is on a UITableViewC

Answer 1

You need to resize the tableView itself so that it does not go under the keyboard.

-(void) textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {

// SUPPOSEDLY Scroll to the current text field
self.worldsTableView.frame = CGRectMake(//make the tableView smaller; to only be in the area above the keyboard);
CGRect textFieldRect = [textField frame];
[self.wordsTableView scrollRectToVisible:textFieldRect animated:YES];

}

Alternatively, you can use a keyboard notification; this works slightly better because you have more information, and is more consistent in terms of knowing when the keyboard is coming up:

//ViewDidLoad
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyboardWillShow:) name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyboardWillHide:) name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];

And then implement:

- (void)keyboardWillShow:(NSNotification *)notification {

}
- (void)keyboardWillHide:(NSNotification *)notification {

}
