[Tutorial] Moving An Object Into View

[Steaps]

Ever had the keyboard cover up your UITextField, or other object that you must see when typing in your application? Well i suspect most of the beginners (Like me) have had this before and are not sure what to do. Well this is my take on how to get around this. Its pretty straight forward and easy to learn and do. Enjoy!

The tutorial is posted on my blog, located here:
Steaps’ Blog! :: iPhone SDK Help iPhone SDK Tutorials :: Tutorial: Scrolling An Object Into View

Please post comments on how the tutorial was etc. What could be improved.
Side Note: I believe the source code might have some things missing, but its not meant to be used, just set as an example. It works for what I'm trying to show how to do.

Just curious....how would you do it if you had more than 1. When one was pressed none are moved and when the other is pressed it moves.

Not sure if that's spam or not?

Hey. Here's a code snippet from one of my apps. I basically have 4 text fields and I keep them on their own view pane. When the didStartEditing is called it slides the whole view pane the propper distance so each text field gets put in the same place for editing. If you do not want to make a separate view pane for your text fields, you could just slide whichever view is their superview.

- (IBAction)didStartEditing:(UITextField *)textField { 	//move the text fields into view
	[UIView beginAnimations: @"center text" context: nil];
	[UIView setAnimationDelegate: self];
	[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.35];
	[UIView setAnimationCurve: UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut];
	float newY =  textContainer.frame.origin.y - (textField.frame.origin.y - 75);
	[textContainer setFrame:CGRectMake(textContainer.frame.origin.x, newY, 349, 231)];	
	[UIView commitAnimations];
}

textContainer is just a UIView holding 4 UITextField's.
