Check for split keyboard

Question

As many of you know iOS 5 introduced a slick split keyboard for thumb-typing. Unfortunately, I have some UI that is dependent on the normal full-screen keyboard layout. One

Answer 1

When the keyboard is docked, UIKeyboardWillShowNotification will be raised. If the keyboard is split or undocked, no keyboard notifications are raised.

If a keyboard is docked, UIKeyboardWillShowNotification will be raised, and the following will be true:

[[[notification userInfo] valueForKey:@"UIKeyboardFrameChangedByUserInteraction"] intValue] == 1

If a keyboard is undocked, UIKeyboardWillHideNotification will be raised, and the above statement will also be true.

Using this information has been adequate for me to code my user interface.

Note: this might be a violation of Apple's guidelines, I'm not sure.
