Show a view over the keyboard


I am looking for a way on the iPhone, due to a custom 'loading' subview, to have a subview cover the keyboard without dismissing the keyboard. Right now when the subview loads, the keyboard is still topmost. Any ideas?


Solution

  • add your loading view as subview on window. It will cover keyboard too. Here is a stackoverflow post for the same

    IPhone - Show Wait Indicator

    UPDATE

    My code

    #pragma mark -
    #pragma mark Waiting View
    - (void)showWaitingView {
    
        CGRect frame = CGRectMake(90, 190, 32, 32);
        UIActivityIndicatorView* progressInd = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
        [progressInd startAnimating];
        progressInd.activityIndicatorViewStyle = UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhiteLarge;
    
        frame = CGRectMake(130, 193, 140, 30);
        UILabel *waitingLable = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
        waitingLable.text = @"Processing...";
        waitingLable.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
        waitingLable.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:20];;
        waitingLable.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
        frame = [[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame];
        UIView *theView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
        theView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
        theView.alpha = 0.7;
        theView.tag = 999;
        [theView addSubview:progressInd];
        [theView addSubview:waitingLable];
    
        [progressInd release];
        [waitingLable release];
    
        [window addSubview:[theView autorelease]];
        [window bringSubviewToFront:theView];
    }
    
    - (void)removeWaitingView {
        UIView *v = [window viewWithTag:999];
        if(v) [v removeFromSuperview];
    
    }
