Customize height of custom view?

[itsbmac]

Hello, I want to set the custom height of the view that sits above the SDK keyboard in iOS:

open var defaultViewMode: KeyboardAppViewMode {
.frame(barMode: .appTextField(delegate: self), height: .default)
}

There isn't any documentation on this, but it seems like the height isn't configurable: it doesn't seem to accept integer parameters, just a hard coded default. Is there a workaround?

Hello @itsbmac ,

The height is adapted to the container. For example, you can follow this example where we add the size inside the container view: custom view

@xevifar Can you point me specifically to where you are doing that? I reviewed the project you shared but haven't found the code where you are changing the height / adding size inside the container view.

In the KeyboardOpenViewCustom.swift, you have a line like this:

"var defaultViewMode: KeyboardAppViewMode {
.fullCover() // Shows the view over the keyboard, i.e. covering it.
}"

However, that line isn't customizing height, it's just setting it to the full view of the current keyboard size. Is there a way to make the views accept other height parameters? That's what I haven't figured out how to do. I'm trying to customize the height of green backgrounded area... how would I do that?

Hi @itsbmac ,

We have updated the example to make it easier to follow.

The main pieces of code:

1. Select the type of height

var defaultViewMode: KeyboardAppViewMode {
        //.fullCover(height: .automatic) // Shows the view over the keyboard, i.e. covering it.
        .frame(barMode: TopBarMode.default, height: .automatic)
    }

Instead of .fullCover change to .frame, which indicates that the view appears on top of the keyboard.

2. Change the Constraint related to the height of the view:

exampleView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 80)

The example provided is 80, but if you change this number the total height of the container view will adjust to the height.

Let me know if this works for you.

that worked, thanks @xevifar
