resignFirstResponder is not working as expected - iphone

Question

I am having the uitextfield to input country value inside the uitableview. When tapping on that field I am showing the tableview with country values loaded.
When tapping on any cell, it comes back to the same form and adds the selected value inside the country field. I mean I assign the selected value to the textfield inside the viewwillappear method. After setting the text inside the country field. I want to resign the keyboard, so I added resignFirstResponder, but it is not resigning the keyboard.
Below is my code:
- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField;
{
if( textField == self.myCountryField ){
aCountryListView =
[[LCCountryListViewController alloc]init];
UINavigationController *navigationController =
[[UINavigationController alloc]
initWithRootViewController:aCountryListView];
[self presentModalViewController:navigationController animated:YES];
}
}
-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated{
//-----------------------------------
self.myCountryField.text = aCountryListView.mySelectedCountry;
[self.myCountryField resignFirstResponder];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(keyboardWillShow:)
name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(keyboardWillHide:) name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];
}
// Customize the appearance of table view cells.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:
(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"PoetNameCell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
if( indexPath.row == 0 ){
UILabel *aLblTitle = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(5, 5, 220, 30)];
aLblTitle.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
aLblTitle.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Palatino-Bold" size:16.0];
aLblTitle.text = NSLocalizedString(#"Country","Country");
aLblTitle.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[cell.contentView addSubview:aLblTitle];
myCountryField = [[UITextField alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(133,5,150,30)];
myCountryField.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
myCountryField.delegate = self;
myCountryField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;
[cell.contentView addSubview:myCountryField];
}
return cell;
}

Answer 1

use the below code, hope it will help you out.
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField
{
[self.view endEditing:YES];
return YES;
}
ensure that you will connect your delegate to fileowner in xib-file. or in viewDidload use the following code.
yourtextfield.delegate=self;
and in your .h file use <UITextfielddelegate>

Answer 2

Hope the following code will work when add UITextField delegate
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField
{
[self.myCountryField resignFirstResponder];
return YES;
}

Answer 3

How about using this instead:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] sendAction:#selector(resignFirstResponder)
to:nil
from:nil
forEvent:nil];
