resignFirstResponder on UITextView - slowing down the disappearance of the keyboard

Question

I wonder is there any way to slow down the disappearance of a native keyboard in an iOS app when using resignFirstResponder on a TextView. The keyboard is going down too fast and I want it to go slower. Is that possible?

EDIT: My context is this: I add a new view on top of the current view and because of this, my keyboard disappears momentarily. That's how my code looks:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    UIButton *tmpButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
    [tmpButton setTitle:@"Tap me" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    [tmpButton sizeToFit];
    [tmpButton addTarget:self action:@selector(btnTestClicked) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

    [self.view addSubview:tmpButton];
}


- (void) btnTestClicked{
    [tmpText resignFirstResponder];
}

I also have the view hierarchy like that:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    // Override point for customization after application launch.
    self.window.windowLevel = UIWindowLevelStatusBar + 1;
    return YES;
}

The app is real simple but the keyboards disappears very fast, not like when I don't have any other views.

Simple, I think:

- (void)btnTestClicked {
        [UIView animateWithDuration:2.0 animations:^(void){
            [tmpText resignFirstResponder];
        } completion:^(BOOL finished) {
              //Do something
        }];    
    }

Interestingly enough, it slows down the **appearance** of the keyboard, not it's **disappearance**. The keyboard still just fades away, not roll down slowly like it should. Do you know why it's like that? – Sergey Grischyov Dec 25 '12 at 14:01
I've test, resignFirstResponder mean disappearance. – LE SANG Dec 25 '12 at 14:04
I know what it does, but the disappearance isn't slow. Maybe the reason is I have this thing in appDelegate? Check out my new edit, please – Sergey Grischyov Dec 25 '12 at 14:08
Sorry, I don't know what's the purpose of "self.window.windowLevel = UIWindowLevelStatusBar + 1"; But I delete it, it work OK. – LE SANG Dec 25 '12 at 14:27
It creates a new view on top of the StatusBar and unfortunately I can't delete it. – Sergey Grischyov Dec 25 '12 at 14:36
Without tha line of code it works, so I've accepted your answer! – Sergey Grischyov Dec 25 '12 at 15:11

I also check,self.window.windowLevel just work in range [-1:10]. I still not understand.Sorry,I don't have any new investigation. – LE SANG Dec 25 '12 at 15:57

[UIView animateWithDuration:1 delay:0 options:UIViewAnimationOptionBeginFromCurrentState animations:^{
    [self.view endEditing:YES];
}completion:nil];

Sure, I tried everything. The problem is with the `self.window.windowLevel = UIWindowLevelStatusBar + 1;` – Sergey Grischyov Dec 25 '12 at 14:57
can you please explain me what the mean of this line? – Rajneesh071 Dec 25 '12 at 15:28
It's creating a view controller on top of the status bar to display something on it – Sergey Grischyov Dec 25 '12 at 15:31
now i tried your window line and with this line my code is not working... but without this line its working fine...... – Rajneesh071 Dec 25 '12 at 15:36
