How to dismiss number pad keyboard by tapping anywhere

Question

I'd like to know the simplest code to dismiss the number pad keyboard when tapping anywhere outside the number pad. It's a simple application to input a number inside a text field and then a user can dismiss the keyboard after the user finishes typing the numbers on the text field. Thanks! :)

Answer 1

Declaring the text field as instance variable or property if it isn't already and implementing a simple method like this:

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event 
{
    [textField resignFirstResponder];
}

will do just fine.
