I want to hide (resignFirstResponder
) the virtual keyboard of UITextView
when 'Done' presses. Theres no 'Did End on Exit' in UITextView
. In UITextField
i connect the 'Did End on Exit' with an IBAction
and call resignFirstResponder
method. How can i do this with UITextView
?
The correct way to handle this is to add a done button in an inputAccessoryView
to the UITextView
. The inputAccessoryView
is the bar that sometimes appears above the keyboard.
In order to implement the inputAccessoryView
simply add this method (or a variation thereof) and call it in viewDidLoad
.
- (void)addInputAccessoryViewForTextView:(UITextView *)textView{
//Create the toolbar for the inputAccessoryView
UIToolbar* toolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 50)];
[toolbar sizeToFit];
toolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent;
//Add the done button and set its target:action: to call the method returnTextView:
toolbar.items = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:nil action:nil],
[[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:@"Done" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:@selector(returnTextView:)],
nil];
//Set the inputAccessoryView
[textView setInputAccessoryView:toolbar];
}
Then handel the button being pressed by implementing the action method you called with resignFirstResponder
.
- (void) returnBreakdown:(UIButton *)sender{
[self.textView resignFirstResponder];
}
This should result in a working "Done" button appearing in a standard toolbar above the keyboard.
