How to write Keyboard notifications in Swift 3

Question

I'm trying to update this code to swift 3:

NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: Selector("keyboardWillShow:"), name: UIKeyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil)

NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: Selector("keyboardWillHide:"), name: UIKeyboardWillHideNotification, object: nil)`

So far, I've just tried the auto corrections given by the compiler. This results in code like this:

let notificationCenter = NotificationCenter.default()
notificationCenter.addObserver(self, selector: Selector(("keyboardWillShow:")), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)

notificationCenter.addObserver(self, selector: Selector(("keyboardWillHide:")), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillHide, object: nil)`

Unfortunately, that doesn't take me far, resulting in additional errors.

Has anyone solved this please?

Please note that I'm just trying how to write the notifications. I'm not (yet) trying to fix the notification functions.. Thanks

Swift 4.2 Xcode 10 (10L213o)

The main changes compared with Swift 3 are in the UIWindow.keyboardWillShowNotification and UIWindow.keyboardWillHideNotification

let notifier = NotificationCenter.default
notifier.addObserver(self,
                     selector: #selector(KeyboardLayoutConstraint.keyboardWillShowNotification(_:)),
                     name: UIWindow.keyboardWillShowNotification,
                     object: nil)
notifier.addObserver(self,
                     selector: #selector(KeyboardLayoutConstraint.keyboardWillHideNotification(_:)),
                     name: UIWindow.keyboardWillHideNotification,
                     object: nil)


@objc
func keyboardWillShowNotification(_ notification: NSNotification) {}

@objc
func keyboardWillHideNotification(_ notification: NSNotification) {}

Swift 4

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()   
    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillShow), name: .UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)
    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.keyboardWillHide), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillHide, object: nil)
}

func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
     print("keyboardWillShow")
}

func keyboardWillHide(notification: NSNotification){
     print("keyboardWillHide")
}

deinit {
     NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self)
}

You can also get keyboard info using below code inside these methods.

NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillChange), name: .UIKeyboardWillChangeFrame, object: nil) .      

@objc func keyboardWillChange(notification: NSNotification) {
     let duration = notification.userInfo![UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] as! Double
     let curve = notification.userInfo![UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey] as! UInt
     let curFrame = (notification.userInfo![UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] as! NSValue).cgRectValue
     let targetFrame = (notification.userInfo![UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as! NSValue).cgRectValue
     let deltaY = targetFrame.origin.y - curFrame.origin.y
 }

I fixed this issue by writing the code like this

NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillShow), name: .UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)

For Swift 4.2 .UIKeyboardWillShow is renamed to UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification and .UIKeyboardWillHide is renamed to UIResponder.keyboardWillHideNotification

 NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(NameOfSelector), name: UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification , object: nil)
 NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(NameOfSelector), name: UIResponder.keyboardWillHideNotification , object: nil)

   @objc func NameOfSelector() {
       //Actions when notification is received
    }
