iPhone: Maintain visibility of form inputs – auto-scrolling views【保持表单输入的可视性 - 自动滚动】

When you develop forms or any screens with input fields, occasionally the inputs will be obscured by the keyboard when it appears. This is bad usability for the user who now has to input data without being able to see what they have typed! One solution is to slide the whole view so that the field being edited is always visible.

1. 

   - (void) maintainVisibityOfControl:(UIControl *)control offset:(float)offset {
   static const float deviceHeight = 480;
   static const float keyboardHeight = 216;
   static const float gap = 5; //gap between the top of keyboard and the control
   
   
   //Find the controls absolute position in the 320*480 window - it could be nested in other views
   CGPoint absolute = [control.superview convertPoint:control.frame.origin toView:nil];
   
   
   //If it would be hidden behind the keyboard....
   if (absolute.y > (keyboardHeight + gap)) {
   //Shift the view
   float shiftBy = (deviceHeight - absolute.y) - (deviceHeight - keyboardHeight - gap - offset);
   [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
   [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.3f]; //this is speed of keyboard
   CGAffineTransform slideTransform = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(0.0, shiftBy);
   self.transform = slideTransform;
   [UIView commitAnimations];
   }
   }
   

   - (void) resetViewToIdentityTransform {
   [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
   [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.3f]; //this is speed of keyboard
   CGAffineTransform slideTransform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
   self.transform = slideTransform;
   [UIView commitAnimations];
   }
   

   
   

   - (void) textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
   [self.view maintainVisibityOfControl:textField offset:0.0f];
   }
   
   
   - (void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
   if (textField == currentControl) {
   //If the textfield is still the same one, we can reset the view animated
   [self.view resetViewToIdentityTransform];
   }else {
   //However, if the currentControl has changed - that indicates the user has
   //gone into another control - so don't reset view, otherwise animations jump around
   }
   }
