I have a UITableView
with UITextField
s as cells. I would like to dismiss the keyboard when the background of the UITableView
is touched. I'm trying to do this by creating a UIButton
the size of the UITableView
and placing it behind the UITableView
. The only problem is the UIButton
is catching all the touches even when the touch is on the UITableView. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
This is easily done by creating a UITapGestureRecognizer object (by default this will detect a "gesture" on a single tap so no further customization is required), specifying a target/action for when the gesture is fired, and then attaching the gesture recognizer object to your table view.
E.g. Perhaps in your viewDidLoad
method:
UITapGestureRecognizer *gestureRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(hideKeyboard)]; [self.tableView addGestureRecognizer:gestureRecognizer];
And the hideKeyboard
method might look like this:
- (void) hideKeyboard { [textField1 resignFirstResponder]; [textField2 resignFirstResponder]; ... ... }
Note that the gesture is not fired when touching inside a UITextField
object. It is fired though on the UITableView
background, footer view, header view and on UILabels
inside cells etc.
