MSSKeyboardManager

MSSKeyboardManager is a utility class that provides enhanced delegation for keyboard updates, and a keyboard dismissal component for UIView.

Installation

MSSKeyboardManager is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

pod 'MSSKeyboardManager'

Usage

To run the example project, clone the repo. Use pod install in your project.

###Keyboard Manager To use MSSKeyboardManager, initialise the object with a responder that implements MSSKeyboardManagerDelegate via keyboardManagerForResponder:

The following protocol methods are then available to the responder:

- (void)keyboardManager:willShowKeyboardWithUpdate:

- (void)keyboardManager:didShowKeyboardWithUpdate:

- (void)keyboardManager:willHideKeyboardWithUpdate:

- (void)keyboardManager:didHideKeyboardWithUpdate:

- (void)keyboardManager:keyboardWillUpdateFromFrame:isDocked:

- (void)keyboardManager:keyboardDidUpdateToFrame:isDocked:

The MSSKeyboardUpdate object contains all the releavent information for the active update:

• beginFrame - The frame of the keyboard at the beginning of the update.
• endFrame - The frame of the keyboard at the end of the update.
• animationDuration - The duration of the update animation.
• animationCurve - The update animation curve.
• isLocal - Whether the update was invoked by the local app (iOS 9+)
• keyboardVisible - Whether the keyboard will be visible as a result of the update.
• keyboardDocked - Whether the keyboard is docked during the update (iPad).

###Keyboard Dismisser UIView+MSSKeyboardDismiss is a category on UIView that provides keyboard dismissal on tap.

To allow a UIView to dismiss the keyboard on tap, simply call becomeKeyboardDismissalResponder on the view.

For example, in the context of a UIViewController:

[self.view becomeKeyboardDismissalResponder];

Subviews of the view can then opt out of allowing dismissal on tap with the canDismissKeyboard property (IBInspectable).

The category also provides resignFirstResponderWithCompletion: to allow the keyboard to be dismissed with a completion block.

Requirements

Supports iOS 8 and above.
