Detect if UIKeyBoard is Showing

Question

I'd like to detect whether or not the keyboard is showing. I've found a few other posts that traverse the subviews of UIWindow to find the keyboard, but if that is the only way then I'll figure out something else. I suppose I could also observe the UIKeyboard notifications, but I'm guessing there is a cleaner solution out there.

Answer 1

I am not sure what's "dirty" in observing UIKeyboard notifications but it definitely beats traversing UIWindow hierarchy.

Answer 2

You should be observing the notifications, it is simple to do and there is nothing wrong with that approach.
