In my iOS keyboard app, I currently have a text suggestions bar much like the default iOS 8 Keyboard's suggestion bar. I would like to clear all text on the suggestion bar whenever the user does something that clears the text field (for example, when someone hits "Send" on iMessage or Whatsapp,).
As hitting "Send" is not a keystroke, I was wondering if there is way to detect from the keyboard when a textfield is cleared.
I have tried detecting empty text ""
or new line "\n"
, but so far this has not worked.
Edit: I do know that this is possible through 3rd party iOS Keyboard, as seen the case here (this is from Themeboard)
Before hitting send, note the text in the suggestion bar.
Immediately after hitting "send". The suggestion bar is cleared.
When the send button is pressed in Messages, the textDidChange:
callback will be called on your UIInputViewController
subclass. At that point, both the documentContextAfterInput
and documentContextBeforeInput
properties of your UIInputViewController
subclass's textDocumentProxy
property will be nil or the empty string. While you don't know why the textfield was cleared, you can probably infer for most cases where this occurs that you should clear your current next word prediction.
- (void)textDidChange:(id<UITextInput>)textInput
{
if ((!self.textDocumentProxy.documentContextBeforeInput && !self.textDocumentProxy.documentContextAfterInput) || ([self.textDocumentProxy.documentContextBeforeInput isEqualToString:@""] && [self.textDocumentProxy.documentContextAfterInput isEqualToString:@""])){
//Implement code to clear the banner
[self.keyboard.lblBanner setText: @""];
}
}
