Hiding the Keyboard when losing focus on a UITextView

Question

So I have a UITextView that I'm using to allow the user to submit some text.

My problem is, I can't seem to figure out how to allow the user to 'Cancel' by tapping away from the UITextView.

Answer 1

Simplifying tuzzolotron's answer: Where the following outlet is properly connected in your xib

    IBOutlet UITextView *myTextView; 

Use this in the view controller:

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {      UITouch *touch = [[event allTouches] anyObject];     if ([myTextView isFirstResponder] && [touch view] != myTextView) {         [myTextView resignFirstResponder];     }     [super touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event]; } 

A tap on the View Controller's View, outside of the Text View, will resign the first responder, closing the keyboard.
