Hide keyboard when user touches uiview

Question

I have a UIView with multiple text boxes. Now i have used delegates to change the responder from from text field to another. In this case my key board goes away when the user comes to last text field.

but now i want to hide my key board when the user touches UIView(touches any where on screen apart from text boxes). Can some one help me with this.

Thanks

Answer 1

Use resignFirstResponder in touchesBegan, like so:

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {     UITouch * touch = [touches anyObject];     if(touch.phase == UITouchPhaseBegan) {         [self.myTextField resignFirstResponder];     } } 

You may need to call this on multiple text fields if you're not sure where the focus is currently located; I haven't tested that case.

Additionally, in Interface Builder, you'll need to enable the "User Interaction Enabled" checkbox for the view, or programatically use:

myView.userInteractionEnabled = YES;

Just call this in your view controller when you want to hide the keyboard.

[self.view endEditing:NO];
