Dismissing the First Responder/Keyboard with multiple Textfields

xTHENKx picture xTHENKx · Jul 19, 2011 · Viewed 9.9k times · Source

Like seriously after going through this...

Easy way to dismiss keyboard?

... I have multiple TextFields and a few TextViews. Is there not a way to a have a batch or group Dismiss First Responder for all text fields? Will I need to make method for each field? Maybe I overlooked something in that link?

Maybe I can follow something like this:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3282837/problem-with-multiple-textfields-to-make-the-keyboard-dissapear

Would the latter make sense? Thanks in advance.

I figured it out....

Controller.h

@interface Controller : UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate> {
    IBOutlet UITextField *clickedDone;
}
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITextField *clickedDone;

Controller.m

#import "Controller.h"
@implementation Controller
@synthesize clickedDone;

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    [clickedDone setDelegate:self];
}

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField {
    [textField resignFirstResponder];
    return YES;    
}

The view has an endEditing: method you can use. The docs say

Causes the view (or one of its embedded text fields) to resign the first responder status.

In your view controller you can just call:

[[self view] endEditing:YES];
