I'm wondering how to make the keyboard disappear when the user touches outside of a 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()
}
