Question

I have quite a long form in ipad having uitextfields and uitextviews. I am able to scroll up when the keyboard hides the uitextfield using keyboard notifications. but when the uitextview becomes active and it is under the keyboard it just slides enough so that i can see the blinking cursor. Is this the normal behavior? If not how can i scroll the entire uitextview upwards so that the entire uitextview is visible at the time of editing?

Here is the code..

-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillAppear:YES];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyboardWasShown:) name: UIKeyboardDidShowNotification object:nil];

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyboardWillBeHidden:) name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
}

#pragma mark Keyboard Events

-(BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField
{
    [textField resignFirstResponder];
    return NO;
}

#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wdeprecated-declarations"
-(void)keyboardWasShown:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{

if (displayKeyboard==YES) {
    return;
}
NSDictionary* info = [aNotification userInfo];
NSValue* aValue = [info objectForKey:UIKeyboardBoundsUserInfoKey];
//NSValue* aValue = [info objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey];
CGSize keyboardSize = [aValue CGRectValue].size;


offset = _scrollView.contentOffset;

CGRect viewFrame = _scrollView.frame;

viewFrame.size.height -= keyboardSize.height-tabbarHt;
_scrollView.frame = viewFrame;

CGRect textFieldRect = [activeField frame];
textFieldRect.origin.y += 10;
[_scrollView scrollRectToVisible: textFieldRect animated:YES];
displayKeyboard = YES;

}

-(void)keyboardWillBeHidden:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{

if (!displayKeyboard) {
    return; 
}

_scrollView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 1024, 655);
_scrollView.contentOffset =offset;
displayKeyboard = NO;
}

-(BOOL) textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField*)textField {
activeField = textField;
return YES;
}

Answer 1

Give delegate to your UITextView

CGRect activeField;

- (void)textViewDidBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView
{
    activeField = textView.frame;
}

-(BOOL) textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField*)textField {
   activeField = textField.frame;
   return YES;
}

Try With this code. Every time you have given only textField rect size. when you call text view you have to pass textview frame size
