iOS Keyboard hides UITextField... Suggestions?

[Soulstorm]

I have a UIView which has a uitextField inside. When the user clicks on it, the keyboard comes up, and the text field is being hidden! That way, the user has no way of seeing what he/se writes on the text field.

Any way of bypassing this using some kind of zooming in the text field or designing it another way?

Add your text field as a subview of a UIScrollView and then scroll the scroll view (containing the text field) up programmatically when the text field begins editing (in UITextFieldDelegate's textFieldDidStartEditing method).

You can also use a UITableView instead of a UIScrollView if appropriate for your UI. (UITableView inherits from UIScrollView).

You might want to consult the iPhone Application Programming Guide, especially the section on "Moving Content That Is Located Under the Keyboard".
