Make UITextView parent be its own inputAccessoryView

Question

I\'m trying to achieve a similar keyboard interaction that Messages has in iOS 7. I have a UIView which contains a UITextView, and when the user select

Answer 1

A much easier solution is to make your input field the input accessory view of your view controller:

- (BOOL)canBecomeFirstResponder
{
    return YES;
}

- (UIView *)inputAccessoryView
{
    return self.yourInputField;
}

The view will be on screen at the bottom of the screen and when it becomes first responder in response to a user tapping it, the keyboard will be presented. The view will be animated such that it remains immediately above the keyboard.
