Answer 1

Updated for swift:

// MARK:- Kyeboard hide/show methods

func keyboardWasShown(_ notification: Notification) {
    if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
        if self.view.frame.origin.y == 0{
            self.view.frame.origin.y -= keyboardSize.height
        }
    }
}

func keyboardWillBeHidden(_ notification: Notification) {
    if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
        if self.view.frame.origin.y != 0{
            self.view.frame.origin.y += keyboardSize.height
        }
    }
}

func registerForKeyboardNotifications(){
    //Adding notifies on keyboard appearing
    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWasShown(_:)), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)

    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillBeHidden(_:)), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillHide, object: nil)
}

func deregisterFromKeyboardNotifications(){
    //Removing notifies on keyboard appearing
    NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self, name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)
    NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self, name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillHide, object: nil)
}

func textFieldDidBeginEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
    if textField == mEnterPasswordTextField || textField == mEnterConfirmPassword  {
            animateViewMoving(up: true, moveValue: 120)
    }
}

func textFieldDidEndEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
    if textField == mEnterPasswordTextField || textField == mEnterConfirmPassword  {
            animateViewMoving(up: false, moveValue: 120)
    }
}

func animateViewMoving (up:Bool, moveValue :CGFloat){
    let movementDuration:TimeInterval = 0.3
    let movement:CGFloat = ( up ? -moveValue : moveValue)
    UIView.beginAnimations( "animateView", context: nil)
    UIView.setAnimationBeginsFromCurrentState(true)
    UIView.setAnimationDuration(movementDuration )
    self.view.frame = self.view.frame.offsetBy(dx: 0,  dy: movement)
    UIView.commitAnimations()
}

// In viewDidLoad()

self.registerForKeyboardNotifications()
self.deregisterFromKeyboardNotifications()

Try this

 override func viewDidLoad()
    {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.keyboardWillShow(notification:)), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardDidShow, object: nil)
    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.keyboardWillHide(notification:)), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardDidHide, object: nil)
}

 @objc func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
      if(messageCount > 0)
      {
        tableView.scrollToRow(at: IndexPath(item:messageCount - 1, section: 0), at: .bottom, animated: true)
      }
}

@objc func keyboardWillHide(notification: NSNotification) {
    if(messageCount > 0)
    {
        tableView.scrollToRow(at: IndexPath(item:0, section: 0), at: .top, animated: true)
    }
}

Swift 4.2+

@vandana's answer updated to reflect changes to native Notifications in Swift 4.2.

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(ViewController.keyboardWillShow), name: UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil)
    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(ViewController.keyboardWillHide), name: UIResponder.keyboardWillHideNotification, object: nil)

}

@objc func keyboardWillShow(notification: Notification) {
    if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
        print("notification: Keyboard will show")
        if self.view.frame.origin.y == 0{
            self.view.frame.origin.y -= keyboardSize.height
        }
    }

}

@objc func keyboardWillHide(notification: Notification) {
    if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
        if self.view.frame.origin.y != 0 {
            self.view.frame.origin.y += keyboardSize.height
        }
    }
}

Also, you need to use UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey to account for safeAreaInset changes introduced with iOS 11.

Answer 4

Swift 4.2

This version works both on the iPhone 5 and the iPhone X. It works very well if you respect the safe area during your constraints settings.

override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillShow), name: UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil)
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillHide), name: UIResponder.keyboardWillHideNotification, object: nil)
}

@objc func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
        if let _ = (notification.userInfo?[UIResponder.keyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
            self.view.frame.origin.y = self.navigationController!.navigationBar.frame.size.height + UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame.size.height
            if self.emailTextField.isFirstResponder {
                self.view.frame.origin.y -= 100
            } else if self.passwordTextField.isFirstResponder {
                self.view.frame.origin.y -= 150
            } else if self.passwordConfirmTextField.isFirstResponder {
                self.view.frame.origin.y -= 200
            }
        }
}

@objc func keyboardWillHide(notification: NSNotification) {
        if self.view.frame.origin.y != 0 {
           self.view.frame.origin.y = self.navigationController!.navigationBar.frame.size.height + UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame.size.height
        }
}

Answer 5

Swift 4.X / 5

I like the inline, block-based approach which is available for a long time already! You can read more about the parameters of addObserver(...) here.

Some advantages of this approach are:

• you don't need to use the @objc keyword
• you write your callback code at the same location where you setup your observer

Important: Call NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(observer) in the deinit of the object where you set register the observer (often a view controller).

let center = NotificationCenter.default

let keyboardWillShowObserver: NSObjectProtocol = center.addObserver(forName: UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil, queue: nil) { (notification) in
    guard let value = notification.userInfo?[UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue else { return }
    let height = value.cgRectValue.height

    // use the height of the keyboard to layout your UI so the prt currently in
    // foxus remains visible
}

let keyboardWillHideObserver: NSObjectProtocol = center.addObserver(forName: UIResponder.keyboardWillHideNotification, object: nil, queue: nil) { (notification) in

    // restore the layout of your UI before the keyboard has been shown
}

Swift 3:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(ViewController.keyboardWillShow), name: Notification.Name.UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)
    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(ViewController.keyboardWillHide), name: Notification.Name.UIKeyboardWillHide, object: nil)

}

func keyboardWillShow(notification: Notification) {
    if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
        print("notification: Keyboard will show")
        if self.view.frame.origin.y == 0{
            self.view.frame.origin.y -= keyboardSize.height
        }
    }

}

func keyboardWillHide(notification: Notification) {
    if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
        if self.view.frame.origin.y != 0 {
            self.view.frame.origin.y += keyboardSize.height
        }
    }
}

Swift 4.2.1:

NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillShow), name: UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil)
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillHide), name: UIResponder.keyboardWillHideNotification, object: nil)

@objc fileprivate func keyboardWillShow(notification: Notification) {
    if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIResponder.keyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
        // Do something with size
    }
}

@objc fileprivate func keyboardWillHide(notification: Notification) {
    if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIResponder.keyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
        // Do something with size
    }
}

Swift 4.2+

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(ViewController.keyboardWillShow), name: UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil)
    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(ViewController.keyboardWillHide), name: UIResponder.keyboardWillHideNotification, object: nil)

}

@objc func keyboardWillShow(notification: Notification) {
    if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
        if self.view.frame.origin.y == 0{
            self.view.frame.origin.y -= keyboardSize.height
        }
    }

}

@objc func keyboardWillHide(notification: Notification) {
    if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
        if self.view.frame.origin.y != 0 {
            self.view.frame.origin.y += keyboardSize.height
        }
    }
}
