When developing iOS apps in Objective-C, it's essential to consider the user interface and user experience, including how the keyboard interacts with the app's views. One common requirement is to determine the height of the keyboard so that the app's user interface can adjust accordingly. Here's how you can achieve this in Objective-C.

1. Register for Keyboard Notifications:

To receive notifications when the keyboard is shown or hidden, you need to register for keyboard notifications in your Objective-C code. Use the following code to register for these notifications:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self

selector:@selector(keyboardWillShow:)

name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification

object:nil];

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self

selector:@selector(keyboardWillHide:)

name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification

object:nil];

2. Handle Keyboard Notifications:

Once you've registered for keyboard notifications, you need to implement the methods that will be called when the keyboard is shown or hidden. In these methods, you can extract the keyboard height from the notification object and use it as needed. Here's an example of how to implement these methods:

- (void)keyboardWillShow:(NSNotification *)notification {

NSDictionary *info = [notification userInfo];

CGSize kbSize = [[info objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size;

CGFloat kbHeight = kbSize.height;

// Use kbHeight as needed, such as adjusting your view's layout to accommodate the keyboard

}

- (void)keyboardWillHide:(NSNotification *)notification {

// Cleanup or reset any changes made when the keyboard was shown

}

3. Unregister Keyboard Notifications:

It's important to unregister for keyboard notifications when they are no longer needed, such as when the view is about to disappear. Failure to do so can lead to memory leaks or unexpected behavior. Use the following code to unregister for keyboard notifications:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self];

By following these steps, you can programmatically determine the height of the keyboard in Objective-C for your iOS app. This allows you to create a smooth and user-friendly experience by ensuring that your app's user interface adjusts appropriately when the keyboard is shown or hidden.
