How to make keyboard display?

Hi,

ok so i had the same problem as you so i went to tinker around a bit. i realised the keyboard didnt appear for me for two reasons: 1) For my iOS simulator, under hardware > keyboard, the option Connect Hardware Keyboard was selected. This means that it will use your mac's keyboard instead of the simulator's keyboard. so i unchecked it.

2) When i clicked on the textField, it pulled up the keyboard but the text field disappeared. I think this is because it disappeared behind the image view whenever the method keyboardWillShow method is called. so i added the textfield as an outlet in viewcontroller and added self.view.addSubview(self.textField) after changing the textFieldBottomConstraint when the keyboard pops up under the keyboardWillShow method.

func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
    if let userInfoDict = notification.userInfo, keyboardFrameValue = userInfoDict[UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue {
        let keyboardFrame = keyboardFrameValue.CGRectValue()

        UIView.animateWithDuration(0.8) {
            self.textFieldBottomConstraint.constant = keyboardFrame.size.height + 10
            self.view.addSubview(self.textField)
            self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
        }
    }
}

let me know if this helps!

Hi Dexter, this helped me a lot!!

I was facing the same problems with previous video. (keyboard does not show up) And I unchecked the iOS simulator 's "Connect Hardware Keyboard" and it worked.

Thanks!!
