Question

I am performing an animation to correctly keep the UITextView at the bottom of the screen if I expand the view. For some reason if I perform the animation, the UITextView stop responding to touch events, so there is no keyboard that will show up.

All I am doing is:

CGRect newSendTextView = self.commTextView.frame;
newSendTextView.origin.y = (newSendTextView.origin.y + (height - self.defaultSize.size.height));

[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:.5];
self.commTextView.frame = newSendTextView;
[UIView commitAnimations];

I know the UITextView is still on the screen after I do the transformation since I colored the UITextView background a bright blue, but it doesn’t want to respond to any touch events.

If I comment out self.commTextView.frame = newSendTextView; so that it doesn’t move, the touch events register.

I have no idea why this happens, I tried

[self.commTextView becomeFirstRespond];

and I have checked if isEditable and isUserInteractionEnabled is set to 1 and it is.

I guess, new position of TextView might be getting overlayed by other view. Check any other View is having same frame on your TextView new position. Use clipsToBounds property to find it.
