How to adjust a view's height with Auto Layout when a keyboard appears or disappears in iOS 7.

This gist outlines how to resize a view when a keyboard appears using Auto Layout (there are a bunch of code samples out there that manually adjust the view's frame, but that's just so 2013). The method I outline below works universally on both iPhone and iPad, portrait and landscape, and is pretty darn simple.

Setting Up

The first thing to do is to define our containing view controller, the view, and the bottom constraint that we'll use to adjust its size.

Here's HeightAdjustingViewController.h. We don't need to expose any public properties, so it's pretty bare.

Git Submodules basic explanation

Why submodules?

In Git you can add a submodule to a repository. This is basically a repository embedded in your main repository. This can be very useful. A couple of usecases of submodules:

  • Separate big codebases into multiple repositories.
