iOS - how to dismiss keyboard?
cocoa-touch, ios, objective-c, uikeyboard, uiview
Solution
On the iPad for any any non-fullscreen presented ViewController, you must implement `-(BOOL)disablesAutomaticKeyboardDismissal` to return `NO` to dismiss the keyboard.
- (BOOL)disablesAutomaticKeyboardDismissal
{
return NO;
}
Once that is implemented, you can call `[self.view endEditing:YES];`.
Edit: The other common cause of this problem is returning `NO` from `- (BOOL)textFieldShouldEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField`. Implement the method in the UITextFieldDelegate and have it return `YES` unconditionally to prove that it is not a factor.
Problem
In my app, I press a button and it pulls up a modal presentation sheet (for iPad). Within this modal view I have a scrollview within my main view, and 1 text field within my scroll view. ``` view controller view scrollview text field ``` Nothing I have tried resigns the keyboard and I don't know why. The only thing that happens is the blinking cursor in the textfield goes away. My class is the delegate for the scrollview and text fields. Here is what I have tried: ``` - (void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView{ [self.titleTextField resignFirstResponder]; [self.titleTextField endEditing:YES]; [self.view endEditing:YES]; [self.view resignFirstResponder]; [self.scrollView endEditing:YES]; [self.scrollView resignFirstResponder]; } ``` The method does get called, but the keyboard doesn't go away. Can anyone help me or at least tell me why? Here is how I present this modalpresentation view: (it comes from a tableviewcontroller) didSelectRowAtIndexPath ``` EditVideo *targetController = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"editVideo"]; targetController.delegate = self; UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:targetController]; navigationController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet; [self presentViewController:navigationController animated:YES completion:nil]; [self.tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES]; ```
