Dismissing the keyboard in a UIScrollView
Here is the cleanest way to achieve this in iOS 7.0 and above.
scrollView.keyboardDismissMode = UIScrollViewKeyboardDismissModeOnDrag;
Or
scrollView.keyboardDismissMode = UIScrollViewKeyboardDismissModeInteractive;
In Swift:
scrollView.keyboardDismissMode = .onDrag
Or
scrollView.keyboardDismissMode = .interactive
Bit late but if anyone else is searching an answer to this problem, this is how I have gone about solving it:
1) Create a tap gesture recognizer with a target callback method to dismiss your keyboard using resignFirstResponder on all your fields.
2) Add the tap gesture to the scrollview.
Here's an example:
UITapGestureRecognizer *tapGesture = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(hideKeyboard)];
// prevents the scroll view from swallowing up the touch event of child buttons
tapGesture.cancelsTouchesInView = NO;
[pageScrollView addGestureRecognizer:tapGesture];
[tapGesture release];
...
// method to hide keyboard when user taps on a scrollview
-(void)hideKeyboard
{
[myTextFieldInScrollView resignFirstResponder];
}
