Keyboard “WillShow” and “WillHide” vs. Rotation

Question

I\'ve got a view controller listening for both UIKeyboardWillShowNotification and UIKeyboardWillHideNotification. The handlers for these notifications adjust various parts of th

Answer 1

I met the same problem. iOS gaves me incorrect width/height of the keyboard. I used the following snipped in a keyboardDidShow handler:

CGSize keyboardSize = [[info objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size;
CGSize keyboardSize2 = [[info objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size;
LogDbg(@"keyboard size: frameBegin=%@; frameEnd=%@", NSStringFromCGSize(keyboardSize), NSStringFromCGSize(keyboardSize2));

and for portrait and landscape modes of iPad I got respectively:

2012-06-14 04:09:49.734 -[LoginViewController keyboardDidShow:] 132 [DBG]:keyboard size: frameBegin={768, 264}; frameEnd={768, 264}
2012-06-14 04:10:07.971 -[LoginViewController keyboardDidShow:] 132 [DBG]:keyboard size: frameBegin={352, 1024}; frameEnd={352, 1024}

Guessing that the width of the keyboard should be greater then the height (yep, i'm so naive) I made a workaround like following:

if (keyboardSize.width < keyboardSize.height)
{
    // NOTE: fixing iOS bug: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9746417/keyboard-willshow-and-willhide-vs-rotation
    CGFloat height = keyboardSize.height;
    keyboardSize.height = keyboardSize.width;
    keyboardSize.width = height;
}
