How programmatically move a UIScrollView to focus in a control above keyboard?

Here's what worked for me. Having an instance variable that holds the value of the UIScrollView's offset before the view is adjusted for the keyboard so you can restore the previous state after the UITextField returns:

//header
@interface TheViewController : UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate> {
    CGPoint svos;
}


//implementation
- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
    svos = scrollView.contentOffset;
    CGPoint pt;
    CGRect rc = [textField bounds];
    rc = [textField convertRect:rc toView:scrollView];
    pt = rc.origin;
    pt.x = 0;
    pt.y -= 60;
    [scrollView setContentOffset:pt animated:YES];           
}

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField {
    [scrollView setContentOffset:svos animated:YES]; 
    [textField resignFirstResponder];
    return YES;
}

Finally, a simple fix:

UIScrollView* v = (UIScrollView*) self.view ;
CGRect rc = [textField bounds];
rc = [textField convertRect:rc toView:v];
rc.origin.x = 0 ;
rc.origin.y -= 60 ;

rc.size.height = 400;
[self.scroll scrollRectToVisible:rc animated:YES];

Now I think is only combine this with the link above and is set!

If you set the delegate of your text fields to a controller object in your program, you can have that object implement the textFieldDidBeginEditing: and textFieldShouldReturn: methods. The first method can then be used to scroll to your text field and the second method can be used to scroll back.

You can find code I have used for this in my blog: Sliding UITextViews around to avoid the keyboard. I didn't test this code for text views in a UIScrollView but it should work.
