Keyboard shows up when not needed

Question

Hello,

I've just downloaded SDK 4.0 and I wanted to tun my iPhone application developed against SDK 3.1.3. Unfortunately the app behaves in a strange way in the Simulator for iPhone 4.0.

The first thing is that I have a view with a table view with text fields in the cells. When I show the view the keyboard immediately shows up, but I cannot modify any of the text views. When I try to choose any of the text fields the focus does not change and it ends up without any possibility to modify the text fields.

There is a UITextFieldDelegateadded to each of the text views, but none of its methods is called when the view shows up (together with the keyboard). When I choose one of the text views the

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField

is called and I return YES.

This is how the view looks like:

Any ideas?

Answer 1

I haven't seen this behavior but to troubleshoot I suggest disabling the text fields and seeing if the behavior goes away. If it does, add the textfield back in a pattern until you locate the one triggering the keyboard.

You might also look through the nib/s and see if you have a hidden text field somewhere.

Answer 2

I got it working correctly. Context: I had two views: in the first I had text view, and in the second view I had a table view with some text fields. Problem: In the first view I had

- (BOOL)textViewShouldEndEditing:(UITextView *)textView 

method returning always NOfor the text view. This is why when I was showing the second view the keyboard for the text view was still shown. It worked wery well in SDK 3.1.3, so it must have been changed in SDK 4.0.
