I just made a simple app where you type things in four boxes and can randomly select one. After typing in the boxes I need the keyboard to go away so people can see what the result is, but the on-screen keyboard just stays. Is this something I need to change in the files of the app?
You have to use resignFirstResponder() property of the text field.
If you want to hide the keyboard when a tap occurred outside the text field,
you can use an UITapGestureRecognizer.
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let tapRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(backgroundTapped(_:)))
view.addGestureRecognizer(tapRecognizer)
}
func backgroundTapped(sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
view.endEditing(true)
}

I need keyboard to be with CapsLock on (please don't answer how to make text in textField uppercased):
You need to specify .autocapitalizationType for your textField in viewDidLoad or somewhere else during setup of the view like so:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
textField.autocapitalizationType = .allCharacters
}
Now when your textField becomes active, your keyboard will be on caps.
Here are all the possible options for autocapitalizationType.

I am new in swift and I am doing a tic tac toe, with some improvements in the gaming, so I need to put some condicionals, but my real problem is when I am playing I need to do double click to change a button with no image to a button with image and this is anoying to the player.
I put somes Outlet because I need to desable some buttons (this depend of the players) but I think this no has relation with my mistake because one day I errased all my Outlets to found my mistake and I still needed to do double click, thanks for helping and have a nice day.
You can specify the number of taps required for a UITapGestureRecognizer. Instead of the view, you could set to the button/image.
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(doubleTapped))
tap.numberOfTapsRequired = 2
view.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
}
#objc func doubleTapped() {
// do something here
}
I have two textFields and a Done button in my VC but I'm having some problems with the ending of editing.
My textFieldDidEndEditing method is called when I tap on one textField after being inside the other one, or when I tap outside the textField (because I added a tap recognizer to the parent view) but not when I tap the Done button.
And, most important (especially when I run on an actual device), the keyboard won't disappear under any of these circumstances, even though my textFieldDidEndEditing method calls resignFirstResponder().
Why isn't the keyboard dismissing? Also, is there a way to have textFieldDidEndEditing get called when I tap outside the field just automatically (without having it come from the tap recognizer)? It just seems like this should be how it works, but if I'm wrong, I'm wrong.
Here's some pertinent parts of my code.
1.Trying to dismiss the keyboard. The first part of this method works, and the value is stored (when the method is called at all, that is). At no point does the cursor disappear from the textField, nor does the keyboard get dismissed.
func textFieldDidEndEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
if let playerName = textField.text, let playerNum = nameFields.index(of: textField) {
playerNames[playerNum] = playerName
}
resignFirstResponder()
}
func textFieldShouldReturn(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
textFieldDidEndEditing(textField)
return true
}
Also, here's a curious thing: when I set a breakpoint in textFieldDidEndEditing and debug, enter a value in one field and hit Done, it segues to the next scene, and then stops at textFieldDidEndEditing, which at this point has no effect (the values may be stored but they aren't reflected in the new scene).
2.Trying to add the tap recognizer to the done button. I don't have an outlet to the done button in my code, just out of laziness, so that's probably the best solution. But, I'm still interested in why this doesn't work. This is identical to the code that defines the tap recognizer that's working in the parent view.
func dismiss(_ sender:UITapGestureRecognizer) {
nameFields.forEach { textFieldDidEndEditing($0) }
}
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
for view in view.subviews where view is UIButton {
let dismissTextField = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(dismiss(_:)))
dismissTextField.numberOfTapsRequired = 1
view.addGestureRecognizer(dismissTextField)
}
}
You need to call resignFirstResponder inside textFieldShouldReturn method instead of calling textFieldDidEndEditing.
func textFieldShouldReturn(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
textField.resignFirstResponder()
return true
}
Also in your TapGesture method simply call endEditing(_:) with your view instead of looping through the array of textFields.
func dismiss(_ sender:UITapGestureRecognizer) {
self.view.endEditing(true)
}
Swift 5: This solution below is much easier actually.
Simply subclass your ViewController with the text fields to UITextFieldDelegate like this:
class CreateGroupViewController: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate {
then if you named your UITextFields: nameTextField & occupationTextField then add the following delegations to your viewDidLoad() method:
self.nameTextField.delegate = self
self.occupationTextField.delegate = self
Then simply add the generic function to your file:
func textFieldShouldReturn(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
textField.resignFirstResponder()
return true
}
If you do it this way, then for every textField reference outlet you create, all of them will hide the keyboard after the user hits the return button no matter which textField he's typing. For each textField you add to your view, add another self.nextTextField.delegate = self line to your viewDidLoad.
Remember to test this with your iPhone/iDevice plugged into your developer computer bc XCode's simulator doesn't bring up the keyboard (bc you're normally testing using a full keyboard). Or if you've set up your testing hardware (iPhone) via WiFi you can do it that way also. Otherwise, your users will be "testing" this on TestFlight.
How to remove focus on NSTextField if I'm not focus in the textField?
I have a NSTextField and I set the Action: Sent On End Editing. After clicking the textField, the FOCUS will always in my NSTextField when I click other places on the view.
Furthermore, I use makeFirstResponder and resignFirstResponder but all in vain. Any idea?
#IBAction func endOfEditing(sender: NSTextField) {
view.window?.makeFirstResponder(nil)
view.window?.resignFirstResponder()
}
For illustration, the FOCUS will always be in textField no matter where I pressed. (Even when I pressed the button)
How can I remove the focus when I click outside the textField?
Just try this: change "view.window?" to "sender"
#IBAction func endOfEditing(sender: NSTextField) {
sender.makeFirstResponder(nil)
sender.resignFirstResponder()
}
Swift 4
For those still troubling with focus and unfocus: I don't know if it was the case back in 2016, but in Swift 4 my NSTextField loses focus except if I click in another "selectable" outlet.
For instance if I click on a NSButton right after NSTextField it won't lost focus. I suspect the NSButton catches the event, preventing the textfield to know it has to unfocus.
Here is a much radical solution which will definitely defocus an NSTextField
#IBAction func clickMyButton(_ sender: NSButton) { // or anywhere else
self.quantityTextField.isEnabled = false
self.quantityTextField.isEnabled = true
}
Not very sexy but it is reliable
Edit: Just saw it, it solves #Lee's issue
try add this function to your viewController
override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
// I assume your textField call myText
myText. resignFirstResponder()
}
I'm trying to let the user move a text view around the screen as he presses down on it. The issue I'm getting is my gesture recognizer isn't getting called and instead the text is being selected when I press down on it. How can I disable this? I can't just disable user interaction because a tap should still let the user edit the text. My code is below
let longPressRecognizer = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "longPressed:")
text.addGestureRecognizer(longPressRecognizer)
func longPressed(sender : UITextView) {
println("long press")
}
Try adding this tiny piece of code. Sometimes it makes magic happen ;)
text.userInteractionEnabled = true
