RBKeyboardManager

A keyboard manager designed to be sensible.

RBKeyboardManager is designed to be used with one scroll view. It does not only manages the keyboard, but it also manages a text input accessory. This text input accessory includes a previous, next and done button and is provided by DMFormInputAccessoryView. The only thing you really need to do is give RBKeyboardManager is a UIScrollView and an array of UITextFields and UITexViews, and RBKeyboardManager will do the rest.

Features:

• The next and previous button will only show views that are a subview of a UIWindow. That is, they are on screen.
• The done button will close the keyboard.
• Allows you to define a return key behaviour.

Works in portrait and landscape.

Installing

CocoaPods

Since RBKeyboardManager is still under testing and the fact I am really lazy, you cannot just add it to the pod file like so

pod 'RBKeyboardManager', '~> 0.5.0'

instead, you have to

pod 'RBKeyboardManager', {:git => 'https://github.com/NebulaFox/RBKeyboardManager.git'}

Usage

Basic Usage

Here you have an array of text fields and text views

NSArray * textFieldsAndTextViews = @[ self.textField1, self.textField2, self.textView, self.textField31, self.textField32];

Start off by creating your keyboard manager by

RBKeyboardManager * keyboardManager = [[RBKeyboardManager alloc] initWithScrollView:self.scrollView textFieldsAndTextViews:textFieldsAndTextViews];

Store it for later use

self.keyboardManager = keyboardManager;

Then tell the keyboard manager to register for the keyboard notifications.

[self.keyboardManager registerForKeyboardNotifications];

In great hierarchy of things, I recommended putting the registration for keyboard notifications goes in viewDidAppear: and the deregistration of keyboard notifications in viewWillDisappear:

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];
    
    [self.keyboardManager registerForKeyboardNotifications];
}

- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillDisappear:animated];
    
    [self.keyboard deregisterForKeyboardNotifications];
}

Build and Run.

Return Key Usage

TODO : Mention delegate

- (UIReturnKeyType)returnKeyTypeForTextField:(UITextField *)textField
{
    UIReturnKeyType key = UIReturnKeyNext;
    if ( textField == self.loginPasswordField )
    {
        return UIReturnKeyDONE;
    }

    return key;
}

- (BOOL)keyboardManager:(RBKeyboardManager *)keyboardManager shouldReturnForTextField:(UITextField *)textField
{
    if ( textField == self.loginEmailField )
    {
        [self.keyboardManager nextVisibleView];
    }
    else if ( textField == self.loginPasswordField )
    {
        [self _logIn];
    }

    return NO;
}

You may find these methods useful.

- (void)nextVisibleView;

Finds the next visible view to the active text field or text view and sets it as the first responder

- (void)previousVisibleView;

Finds the previous visible view to the text field or text view and sets it as the first responder.

- (void)dismissKeyboard;

Resigns as first responder for the active text field or text view, thus dismissing the keyboard.
