UITableView reloadData causes UITextField to resignFirstResponder

Question

I have a textField that is set to change the tableView's dataSource with each letter that's entered (and call reloadData).

But for some reason, every time a letter is entered, the keyboard is dismissed.

Anyone know why?

Answer 1

Your text field is resigning because reloaded cells are sent a -resignFirstResponder message due to the fact that their survival is not guaranteed after a reload. See this related question for more.
