automatic scroll - a scroll view on Touch of textField - iPhone

Question

I have many textfields in my Application which are in a scrollview.

What i need is when user touches on a textfield,

scrollview should scroll in such a way, so that that textfield should not be behind the keyboard.

i have seen these sample code site. but forgot. And right now I am not able to find it through google.

Help me.

thanks for your kind help to me.

Answer 1

Maybe you could set the text fields' delegates to self, and then adopt the UITextFielDelegate protocol for the class, and then in this method:

- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField

Make the scroll view scroll down enough so that you can see the text field.. I don't know how to make the scrollview scroll down though.

Answer 2

You can use the method - (void)setContentOffset:(CGPoint)contentOffset animated:(BOOL)animated in UIScrollView, this should scroll to the offset of the point you give it, you will need to figure out the offset through code

I've written a pretty straightforward tutorial on doing this, it mimics as much as possible the behavior of Apple own applications, if it can be of any help:
