I'm trying to get the UITextViewTextDidChangeNotification to work. I'm new to using the NSNotificationCenter, so I'm having a hard time understanding what's going on exactly. I have a UITextView in a storyboard, and I've created an IBOutlet for it in my ViewController class and called it textView.
This is my viewDidLoad function:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
origin = self.view.frame.origin.y
if let field = textView{
field.placeholder = placeholder
field.layer.cornerRadius = 8
field.layer.borderWidth = 0.5
field.layer.borderColor = UIColor.grayColor().CGColor
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: Selector("keyPressed:"), name:UITextFieldTextDidChangeNotification, object: nil);
}
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: Selector("keyboardWillShow:"), name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil);
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: Selector("keyboardWillHide:"), name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification, object: nil);
}
The keyboard notifications work great. To my understanding, they call a function with the same name as the selector. Is that correct? Or is there something more going on here? I made a function called keyPressed that took an NSNotification as a parameter, but that function never got called whereas when I engage the keyboard, the keyboardWillShow and keyboardWillHide functions are called. Can someone explain what's going on?
