Question

I have the following problem: I have a standard UITextView which I resize once the keyboard pops up. I also have another view which I animate into view (not the standard accessory view attached to the keyboard). The problem is that I do not want text to be hidden by this view. This is what happens when I reach the last line (orange view = my custom accessory view):

Ideally, I’d like to have an automatic scroll should that happen. But I have no clue how to achieve this if I am in the last line of the UITextView. Also, scrollToVisible doesn’t work in this context and I don’t know if I’d get anywhere with contentInset.

Any suggestions would be welcome! Thanks.

EDIT

I suppose I would need some kind of mechanism which would allow to

1. make the textview only expand to the line right above the accessory view if I was entering something on the LAST LINE
2. have the textview expand to the keyboard if I was not editing the LINE DIRECTLY ABOVE the KEYBOARD.

Does that make sense? What I need is the opposite of contentInset, I suppose.

I simply don’t want to resize the textView to just above the accessory view as it takes away screen space to display text.

Answer 1

I got the solution- sorry, I guess it was obvious, but it took me the whole day to figure it out:

textOfPage.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 100, 0);

This will offset my UITextView so that the last line is never hidden. The 100 is in pixels and can be adjusted accordingly.
