I have a few text inputs and I can hide the keyboard whenever I touch the background, but only when I have been entering into the first text box name textField1. now this code should be simple but I just can't seem to get it.

-(IBAction)backgroundTouched:(id)sender {
    [textField1 resignFirstResponder];
    [buildLength resignFirstResponder];
    [buildWidth resignFirstResponder];
    [ridgeWidth resignFirstResponder];
    [rafterWidth resignFirstResponder];
    [hipWidth resignFirstResponder];
    [eaveOverhang resignFirstResponder];
    [spacing resignFirstResponder];
}

If you want to hide the keyboard when you tap a button and you have more than one UITextFields in your view, then you should use:

[self.view endEditing:YES];

Tap anywhere on the view, and the keyboard will disappear.
