A sample project illustrating UIKeyboard behavior after dismissing a styled UIAlertView.
In this sample app, the primary view contains a single UITextArea with a custom view for its inputAccessoryView. Tapping on the UITextArea invokes the UIKeyboard. Tapping on the "Alert" button on the accessory view above the keyboard invokes a UIAlertView with the UIAlertViewStyleLoginAndPasswordInput style.
When dismissing the UIAlertView, the desired behavior is for the UITextView to become the first responder without dismissing the keyboard. In practice the keyboard hides then shows. Logging shows the following order of execution:
ResponderTest[1228:11303] handleKeyboardWillShow:
ResponderTest[1228:11303] handleKeyboardDidShow:
ResponderTest[1228:11303] handleAlertButtonTapped:
ResponderTest[1228:11303] handleKeyboardWillShow:
ResponderTest[1228:11303] handleKeyboardDidShow:
ResponderTest[1228:11303] alertView:clickedButtonAtIndex:
ResponderTest[1228:11303] alertView:willDismissWithButtonIndex:
ResponderTest[1228:11303] handleKeyboardWillHide:
ResponderTest[1228:11303] handleKeyboardDidHide:
ResponderTest[1228:11303] handleKeyboardWillShow:
ResponderTest[1228:11303] handleKeyboardDidShow:
ResponderTest[1228:11303] handleKeyboardWillHide:
ResponderTest[1228:11303] handleKeyboardDidHide:
ResponderTest[1228:11303] handleKeyboardWillShow:
ResponderTest[1228:11303] alertView:didDismissWithButtonIndex:
ResponderTest[1228:11303] handleKeyboardDidShow:
Looking for a solution that prevents the keyboard from dismissing.
