TiKeyboardEvents Module for Titanium

This module exposes some useful keyboard events available in iOS, used to notify the application when the keyboard is shown and hidden.

The module catches the UIKit keyboard notifications UIKeyboardWillShowNotification and UIKeyboardWillHideNotification, and fires these as the Titanium events keyboardWillShow and keyboardWillHide. For the keyboardWillShow event, the height of the keyboard is also passed along to allow apps to adjust the view to account for the visible keyboard.

More information about the iOS keyboard notifications can be found in Apple's UIKit documentation.

General information about developing and using Titanium modules is found in the Titanium docs.

Building

1. Open the Xcode project and build as normal.
2. Execute ./build.py to package the module as an archive.
3. Copy the archive to the Titanium directory to make it available:

cp no.funkbit.keyboardevents-iphone-0.1.zip /Library/Application\ Support/Titanium/

Usage

Copy the module to your Titanium directory (e.g. /Library/Application Support/Titanium).

Add the module to your projects tiapp.xml:

<modules>
    <module version="0.1">no.funkbit.keyboardevents</module>
</modules>

Load the module in your application's app.js:

KeyboardEvents = require("no.funkbit.keyboardevents");

Bind to the events you are interested in:

KeyboardEvents.addEventListener("keyboardWillShow", function(e) {
    alert("Keyboard will show, with height=" + e.keyboardHeight);
});

KeyboardEvents.addEventListener("keyboardWillHide", function() {
    alert("Keyboard will hide");
});
