📱 How to Move View with Keyboard Using Swift

Are you frustrated because the keyboard is covering your text field in your Swift app? Don't worry, we've got you covered! In this guide, we'll address the common issue of the keyboard covering the text field and provide you with easy solutions to move the view upwards while typing and back down when the keyboard disappears. Let's dive in! 💪

The Problem: Keyboard Covering Text Field

The user is experiencing a common problem where the keyboard covers the text field in their app. This can be frustrating as it prevents the user from seeing what they're typing and providing a smooth user experience.

Solution: Moving the View Upward with Keyboard Appearance

To solve this problem, we need to make the view move upwards when the keyboard appears and back down when it disappears. Here's how you can achieve this in Swift:

1. Step 1: Add an observer for the keyboard notifications in your view controller's viewDidLoad method:

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

2. Step 2: Implement the keyboardWillShow and keyboardWillHide methods to handle the keyboard appearance:

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

3. Step 3: Remove the keyboard notification observers in deinit to avoid memory leaks:

   deinit { NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self) }

And that's it! 🎉 By implementing these steps, your view will smoothly move upwards when the keyboard appears, allowing the user to see what they're typing, and move back down when the keyboard disappears.
