hide keyboard on touch of scroll view

Question

I have developed my app, after which, I discovered I need to add a Scroll view and embed all elements in it. After doing so, I noticed that the keyboard doesn't disappear on touch outside of the keyboard. I know because the IBAction is tied to the ViewController and not the scroller. the scroller can't have any IBAction though. Is there way you can help with this? I have searched a lot and kinda lost in hiding the keyboard simply after adding the Scroll view. This one shouldn't be that complicated.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Cleanest way in iOS 7:

scrollView.keyboardDismissMode = UIScrollViewKeyboardDismissModeInteractive;

Swift version:

scrollView.keyboardDismissMode = .interactive

Answer 2

Please try this:

UITapGestureRecognizer *yourTap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(scrollTap:)];
    [scrollView addGestureRecognizer:yourTap];
    [self.view addSubview:scrollView];

Then in

- (void)scrollTap:(UIGestureRecognizer*)gestureRecognizer {

    //make keyboard disappear , you can use resignFirstResponder too, it depends.
    [self.view endEditing:YES];
}

*** remarkable you said you had to embed all elements in to scrollview right?, that means you have added something like UIButton as a subview to scrollview and then when you init UIButton you should add action too, so in scrollTap just [self.view endEditting:YES] is enough cuz if you press at some point in UIScrollView and if that point is UIButton, it will activate action of UIButton cuz it stays in the most upper layer as you add it as a subview and if that point is not a button so scrollTap will be activated. Sorry I didn't look to it carefully but it should be like I said.
