How to get height of Keyboard?

The height of a keyboard on varying iOS devices is different. Does anybody know how I can get height of a device's keyboard programmatically?

Swift

You can get the keyboard height by subscribing to the UIKeyboardWillShowNotification notification. (Assuming you want to know what the height will be before it's shown).

Swift 4

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

@objc func keyboardWillShow(_ notification: Notification) {
    if let keyboardFrame: NSValue = notification.userInfo?[UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue {
        let keyboardRectangle = keyboardFrame.cgRectValue
        let keyboardHeight = keyboardRectangle.height
    }
}

Swift 3

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

@objc func keyboardWillShow(_ notification: Notification) {
    if let keyboardFrame: NSValue = notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue {
        let keyboardRectangle = keyboardFrame.cgRectValue
        let keyboardHeight = keyboardRectangle.height
    }
}

Swift 2

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

func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
        let userInfo: NSDictionary = notification.userInfo!
        let keyboardFrame: NSValue = userInfo.valueForKey(UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey) as! NSValue
        let keyboardRectangle = keyboardFrame.CGRectValue()
        let keyboardHeight = keyboardRectangle.height
    }

Swift 3.0 and Swift 4.1

1- Register the notification in the viewWillAppear method:

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

2- Method to be called:

@objc func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
    if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo?[UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
        let keyboardHeight = keyboardSize.height
        print(keyboardHeight)
    }
}
