How can i add a UIView on top of the keyboard in monotouch/Xamarin.Ios?
i have tried the following but it doesn't seem to work.
UIApplication.SharedApplication.Delegate.Window.AddSubview (myView);
UIApplication.SharedApplication.Delegate.Window.BringSubviewToFront (myView);
The UIView is added behind the keyboard.
In Objective c i was able to use the following code and it worked.
[[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows] objectAtIndex:1] addSubview:myView];
Thank You.
You'll first need to create a new UIWindow at the same level as status bar. You can put this code in your ViewDidLoad override:
newWindow = new UIWindow (UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds);
newWindow.WindowLevel = UIWindow.LevelStatusBar;
And then add your View (in this case a button) to the new UIWindow:
var uIButton = new UIButton (UIButtonType.InfoDark) {
Frame = new RectangleF (10, 400, 30, 30)
};
newWindow.AddSubview (uIButton);
In the UITextField, add an event listener for the EditingDidBegin
MyInput.EditingDidBegin += (object sender, EventArgs e) => {
newWindow.Hidden = false;
};
This Worked for me.
UIApplication.SharedApplication.Windows[1].AddSubview(myView);
