I'm making an html editor component for an app (using UIWebView with contentEditable in iOS 5.0), and got stuck at how to handle UIWebView first responder status
[webView isFirstResponder], [webView becomeFirstResponder] and [webView resignFirstResponder] don't seem to work, and i've no idea how to make the webView become or resign it by code
If anyone knows how to work this out i would be very grateful, thanks in advance!
I met the same problem recently, but solved it using pure JavaScript. Actually it doesn't need any Objective-C First Responder related methods. I just used the JavaScript to change the UIWebView's content - the targeting HTML element's contentEditable attribute value according to the requirement.
For example, using the following code to hide the Keyboard that called by the UIWebView's editable content:
Hope this is helpful. :)
Here is how I overwrite these methods in a UIWebView subclass (content is the id of the editable element):
But Focus go to 1st point not last point
Call the following lines of code when you want to hide the keyboard.
[webView loadHTMLString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", htmlString] baseURL:nil]; This works in iOS > 4
Here is how I overwrite these methods in a
UIWebView
subclass (content
is the id of the editable element):isFirstResponder
will only return true after the keyboard is shown (e.g, it will return false at UIKeyboardWillShowNotification)In case this is an issue, another way to check if the
UIWebView
is the first responder is as follows:This way, the returned value will be
YES
even before/after the keyboard animation finishes (showing or hiding).
