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

UIKeyboardFrameChangedByUserInteraction key does not return 1 all the time when keyboard splits.

Below is the full user info dictionary key values on UIKeyboardDidShowNotification / UIKeyboardDidHideNotification.

    UIKeyboardBoundsUserInfoKey = "NSRect: {{0, 0}, {1024, 352}}";
    UIKeyboardCenterBeginUserInfoKey = "NSPoint: {512, 944}";
    UIKeyboardCenterEndUserInfoKey = "NSPoint: {512, 592}";
    UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey = "NSRect: {{-352, 0}, {352, 1024}}";
    UIKeyboardFrameChangedByUserInteraction = 0;
    UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey = "NSRect: {{0, 0}, {352, 1024}}";
}

2012-07-11 11:52:45.675 Project[3856:707] keyboardDidHide: {
    UIKeyboardBoundsUserInfoKey = "NSRect: {{0, 0}, {1024, 352}}";
    UIKeyboardCenterBeginUserInfoKey = "NSPoint: {512, 592}";
    UIKeyboardCenterEndUserInfoKey = "NSPoint: {512, 944}";
    UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey = "NSRect: {{0, 0}, {352, 1024}}";
    UIKeyboardFrameChangedByUserInteraction = 0;
    UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey = "NSRect: {{-352, 0}, {352, 1024}}";
}

Instead you can use UIKeyboardCenterBeginUserInfoKey or UIKeyboardCenterEndUserInfoKey keys to get notified when keyboard splits.

Hope this helps!
