iOS - UITextView dismiss keyboard in storyboard

Question

I have a UITextView in which users could type some notes and save them. I want to dismiss the keyboard when the user drags on the edge of the keyboard and pull it down (just like in Message). I see that in storyboard -> attributes inspector -> Scroll View -> Keyboard, there is a drop down menu where I can choose the way of dismissing the keyboard. I've tried both Dismiss on drag and Dismiss interactively but nothing happens. I've tried setting the view controller that manages the text view to be the delegate, but there does not seem to be a method through which I can interact with the keyboard. Any idea?

I had a similar issue. I had a UITextView located in one of the cells of a UITableView. Setting a Keyboard attribute of the TextView to "Dismiss on drag" didn't work. The solution was to set the TableView's attribute Keyboard to "Dismiss on drag".

I think that your ScrollView might be contained in some other control, e.g. TableView. Then it is the container that performs the scrolling. If that is the case you should set the container's Keyboard attribute to "Dismiss on drag".

If that doesn't work then my other suggestion is that you don't have enough content in your ScrollView to actually do the scrolling. I would make sure that you have the length of your ScrollView's content large enough so it doesn't fit the screen.

Let me know if any of these worked.
