Go to Settings > Accessibility > Keyboards, tap Full Keyboard Access, then turn on Full Keyboard Access.
Via Tap Gesture This is the quickest way to implement keyboard dismissal. Just set a Tap gesture on the main View and hook that gesture with a function which calls view. endEditing . Causes the view (or one of its embedded text fields) to resign the first responder status.
As Jacob said, you'll have to run becomeFirstResponder on a UITextView to make it the first responder, the object the user's currently working with. If you do this, the iPhone OS automatically shows the keyboard, cause that's what's needed for working with a UITextView from a user perspective.

As others have noted, you send the becomeFirstResponder message to the control that you want the keyboard to edit.
One extra thing you should be aware of is that if you plug an external keyboard into an iPad then the keyboard will not appear on screen. You need to design your view so it doesn't look silly without the on-screen keyboard.
