Showing Keyboard

[jtomaslobo]

Hello,

I was trying to show the keyboard by acting over the LGChatController but I couln't find any way.

Could you help me with it?

Thanks

Hi @jtomaslobo

I'm not really sure what you mean by acting is that perhaps a typo? The keyboard should activate automatically when the user taps the text entry. Are you saying you want the text entry to activate automatically when it is presented?

Sorry, I meant "interacting with".

Yeah that's right, I'd love to know how to activate it (show it) automatically when the view is presented.

Thanks,

I should probably update it to make that the default behavior, but for now you can just do it manually by replacing this:

    override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
        super.viewWillAppear(animated)
        self.listenForKeyboardChanges()
    }

With this:

    override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
        super.viewWillAppear(animated)
        self.listenForKeyboardChanges()
        self.chatInput.textView.becomeFirstResponder()
    }

Let me know if this works for you.

Best,

No problem, this is probably expected behavior and I'll add it into the next update!

Best,
