Question

I have a drill-down page that fits the screen exactly, so I did not used a Scroll View. But I have an UITextField down near the bottom and when the keyboard shows up, you can’t see what you are typing.

So was wondering what is standard…Should I use a Scroll View and then will iOS scroll up?

I tried to do this as a test but I am not (yet) able to add a “Scroll View” in the right way to get it to work. I kinda think if I started over and added all the controls over from scratch, I would work…but there has to be a way to convert…

First I tried to edit “View” “custom class” class property and type “Scroll View” Would have been great if it was that easy…but xcode thought it was still a view.

Then I tried to select all of my controls in the “View” and from Editor->Embed In->Scroll View menu. This seemed to work as it recognized that it is a real “Scroll View”, but I get this error: “this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key delegate.”

Then I created a property of “IBOutlet UIScrollView *scrollView” and tried to hook it up, but at this point, I am just guessing…I did add the “UIScrollViewDelegate” to the UIViewController of my class…

There are lots of posts about this error string, but I can’t find a solution that works for storyboards and adding a scroll view to an existing (working) view.

I realize it is hard to help w/o me providing any code…but much of it seems to be how I setup the UI…

If you got any thoughts, send ’em my way!

thx!

If your view doesn’t need to scroll normally, then don’t make it a scroll view. Simply animate the frame of the views you need to get out of the way.

I have an answer for a similar question that you should check out, it has a lot of sample code in it that will hopefully get you on your way.
