IQKeyboardManager interaction with UIKeyInput Protocol?

[cody1024d]

I'm looking to implement a custom UIView that will open the keyboard, and respond to the input (in my case, it's going to be a pin-entry view).

Was just curious if IQKeyboardManager interacts with this protocol in anyway? I seemingly cannot get the UIKeyInput protocol to function as the documentation says it does.

Because your custom view doesn't trigger didBeginEditing, didEngEditing callbacks. and library depends on those notifications.

@hackiftekhar Is there some way I can trigger these call backs manually? Could I just send something through the notification center, or something?

Or would it be better to perhaps disable IQKeyboardManager for the specific view controller that has the custom view? And manage the keyboard manually, and then turn it back on after?

@hackiftekhar I have created a demo project, that actually has UIKeyInput working with a very simple view. It must be something else within my application causing these issues. Closing this issue.

I customed a UIView which apply to ,can this view work with IQKeyboardManager ?

@cody1024d would you happen to remember how did you achieve that in your demo project? I'm looking at the same thing.

For any lost souls wandering for an answer to this, you have to post UITextView.textDidBeginEditingNotification and UITextView.textDidEndEditingNotification using NotificationCenter with your custom view as the object. Something like:

    override func becomeFirstResponder() -> Bool {
        NotificationCenter.default.post(
            Notification(name: UITextView.textDidBeginEditingNotification, object: self)
        )
        
        return super.becomeFirstResponder()
    }
