iOS - Dismiss keyboard when touching outside of UITextField
You'll need to add an UITapGestureRecogniser
and assign it to the view, and then call resign first responder on the UITextField
on it's selector.
The code:
In viewDidLoad
UITapGestureRecognizer *tap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(dismissKeyboard)];
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:tap];
In dismissKeyboard:
-(void)dismissKeyboard
{
[aTextField resignFirstResponder];
}
(Where aTextField
is the textfield that is responsible for the keyboard)
Swift 3 version looks like that
let tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.dismissKeyboard (_:)))
self.view.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture)
For dismissKeyboard
@objc func dismissKeyboard (_ sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
aTextField.resignFirstResponder()
}
I mashed up a few answers.
Use an ivar that gets initialized during viewDidLoad:
UIGestureRecognizer *tapper;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
tapper = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc]
initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleSingleTap:)];
tapper.cancelsTouchesInView = NO;
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:tapper];
}
Dismiss what ever is currently editing:
- (void)handleSingleTap:(UITapGestureRecognizer *) sender
{
[self.view endEditing:YES];
}
Check this, this would be the easiest way to do that,
-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event{
[self.view endEditing:YES];// this will do the trick
}
Or
This library will handle including scrollbar auto scrolling, tap space to hide the keyboard, etc...
