Hello.

How do I make sure that the textview is shown and the keyboard is not obscuring the textview, while in landscape.

Using UICatalog I created a TextViewController which works. In it there are two methods for calling the keyboard and making sure that textView is positioned above the keyboard. his just works great in Portrait mode.

I got the Landscape mode working, but on the textView is still being put to the top of the iPhone to compensate for the keyboard in portrait mode.

I changed the methods for showing the keyboards.

Below is the code for this methods: (I will just let see the code for show, since the hide code will be the reverse..

- (void)keyboardWillShow:(NSNotification *)aNotification 
{
 UIInterfaceOrientation orientation = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarOrientation];
 if (orientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait) {
   // the keyboard is showing so resize the table's height
  CGRect keyboardRect = [[[aNotification userInfo] objectForKey:UIKeyboardBoundsUserInfoKey] CGRectValue];
  NSTimeInterval animationDuration = [[[aNotification userInfo] objectForKey:UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] doubleValue];
  CGRect frame = self.view.frame;
  frame.size.height -= keyboardRect.size.height;
  [UIView beginAnimations:@"ResizeForKeyboard" context:nil];
  [UIView setAnimationDuration:animationDuration];
  self.view.frame = frame;
  [UIView commitAnimations];
 } else if (orientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft) {
  NSLog(@"Left"); // Verijderen later
  CGRect keyboardRect = [[[aNotification userInfo] objectForKey:UIKeyboardBoundsUserInfoKey] CGRectValue];
  NSTimeInterval animationDuration = [[[aNotification userInfo] objectForKey:UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] doubleValue];
  CGRect frame = self.view.frame;
  frame.size.width -= keyboardRect.size.height;
  [UIView beginAnimations:@"ResizeForKeyboard" context:nil];
  [UIView setAnimationDuration:animationDuration];
  self.view.frame = frame;
  [UIView commitAnimations];
 } else if (orientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight){
  NSLog(@"Right"); // verwijderen later.
  CGRect keyboardRect = [[[aNotification userInfo] objectForKey:UIKeyboardBoundsUserInfoKey] CGRectValue];
  NSTimeInterval animationDuration = [[[aNotification userInfo] objectForKey:UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] doubleValue];
  CGRect frame = self.view.frame;
  frame.size.width -= keyboardRect.size.width;
  [UIView beginAnimations:@"ResizeForKeyboard" context:nil];
  [UIView setAnimationDuration:animationDuration];
  self.view.frame = frame;
  [UIView commitAnimations];
 }

}

I know that I have to change the line frame.size.height -= keyboardRect.size.height but I do not seem to get it working.

I tried frame.size.width -= keyboardRect.size.height that did not work. Losing the keyboardRect and frame all together work, however off course the keyboard obscures the textview........
