I'm working with storyboards on iOS 5 and have a simple screen that has a UITextField on it. I want to dismiss the keyboard when the user hits "Return". I followed other suggestions such as having my controller implements the UITextFieldDelegate protocol and implements textFieldShouldReturn: as follows:
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField {
[questionField resignFirstResponder];
return YES;
}
However I see that this method is never called. I have set the controller of my view in storyboarding to my custom UIViewController.
I also tried a different implementation where I create an IBAction called dismissKeyboard but oddly I can't connect the Did Exit action to my UITextField.
Any ideas?
Update : So the problem seems to be that I'm using a UITextView and not a UITextField. I wanted a large area for the text to be entered. When I change the entry field to a UITextField it works fine. Any ideas on how to make it work with a UITextView?
You should connect the dismiss method to the text field's Did End Editing action.
So the solution to resign the keyboard for a UITextView is to implement shouldChangeTextInRange.
If you want the keyboard to dismiss when tap the return key for the textview use this delegate function,
- (BOOL)textView:(UITextView *)textView shouldChangeTextInRange:(NSRange)range replacementText:(NSString *)text {
if([text isEqualToString:#"\n"]) {
[textView resignFirstResponder];
return NO;
}
return YES;
}

in my uitableview in each cell I'm having uitextfield when user edits the textfield and after pressing any other button on the screen the Keyboard is not resigning. I did the following in textfield delegates
- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
textfieldInCell = textField;
}
-(BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField
{
[textField resignFirstResponder];
textfieldInCell=nil;// this is the ivar i am using for each textfield in cell.
return YES;
}
-(void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
textfieldInCell=textField;
// do the process...
textfieldInCell=nil
}
I am also calling the shouldReturn delegate function once the user tapping on any other button but the keyboard is not resigning. Where am I going wrong?
Confirm that you bind the delegate of each textfield that you create with the view controller and add one line of code in textfield did end editing :-
-(void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
// add the following line
[textField resignFirstResponder];
textfieldInCell=textField;
// do the process...
textfieldInCell=nil
}
have you bind delegate of textfield with your controller? or did you check textFieldShouldReturn calling or not?
i think, binding is missing wit view controller in your case.
thanks
add a line in your tableview where you are adding textfield.
<YOUR_TEXTFIELD>.delegate = YES;
Enjoy Programming
first check that you give the delegate or not and give the delegate to UITextField after that when you call the method of button at that time resign this textfield like bellow...
-(IBAction)yourButton_Clicked(id)sender{
[yourTextField resignFirstResponder];
////your code write here
}
you must try to assign tag value to textfield then in should return method you used that tag to hide the keyboard like this (if you assign the tag -1 then)
-(void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
if(textField.tag==-1){
[textField resignFirstResponder];
}
}
I'm using a UITextView and want to keep the normal usage of Return key, i.e. to insert a new line. But how do I dismiss the keyboard when I can't use the Return key for that?
A lot of people add a UIToolbar with a Done button on it above the keyboard. This is how the Safari app does it as well and in my opinion it is the best way to handle this situation. See a pic here.
To dismiss the keyboard, you just have to do [textField resignFirstResponder];.
Here is an okay example of how to add the UIToolbar when the keyboard shows/hides.
How the user triggers it is a design decision: another button, a swipe gesture?
When it's triggered, call:
[self.textView resignFirstResponder];
You could just use a background tap to hide the keyboard.
A good way to Dismiss keyboard.
- (BOOL)textViewShouldBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView
{
//NSLog(#"ShouldBeginEditing");
if(textView == indexOneTW)
{
here use uibutton and set its target to a method which contains
[urTextView resignFirstResponder]
}
return TRUE;
}
Make sure you declare support for the UITextViewDelegate protocol.
-(BOOL)textView:(UITextView *)textView shouldChangeTextInRange:(NSRange)range replacementText: (NSString *)text
{
if([text isEqualToString:#"\n"])
{
[textView resignFirstResponder];
return NO;
}
return YES;
}
Enjoy Buddy with this code....
I am using a UIPickerView and I want my keyboard to never show up for some of my UITextFields. When I call resignFirstResponder on the UITextField after it is touched it doesn't make the keyboard go down.
- (IBAction) txtFieldClicked:(id)sender {
[txtField resignFirstResponder];
}
For each text field where you don't want to be able to show the keyboard, do:
[textField setUserInteractionEnabled:NO];
You can also check a corresponding block in the Interface Builder UI. This prevents the text field from receiving the touch event that would otherwise trigger it to display the keyboard.
Set text field delegate and implement its delegate methods
See UItextFieldDelegate
If you dont want the keyboard to pop up, return NO for all those text fields here
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
if([textField isEqualTo:self.myTextField]) {
return NO;
}
return YES;
}
hi i am working on UITextview
how to Resign Keyboard, after keyboard "Done button" click Action, which XIB
Thank you
hi if you want answer for, Resign the keyboard of UITextview with default "Done" button on keyboard, then this is answer for that
- (BOOL)textView:(UITextView *)textView shouldChangeTextInRange:(NSRange)range
replacementText:(NSString *)text {
// Any new character added is passed in as the "text" parameter
if([text isEqualToString:#"\n"]) {
// Be sure to test for equality using the "isEqualToString" message
[textView resignFirstResponder];
// Return FALSE so that the final '\n' character doesn't get added
return NO;
}
// For any other character return TRUE so that the text gets added to the view
return YES;
}
i followed this to resign keyboard of UITextview, if there is any concern inform me
Thank You
Create an IBAction and in IB hook it up to the UITextfield's DidEndOnExit event. Then call the [textViewName resignFirstResponder] to make the keyboard go away.
Alternatively, try using [self.view endEditing:YES] in the IBAction.
To assign the action to the Done button of a keyboard:
In these examples, myTextView is a UITextView that is defined in the header and connected in Interface Builder.
-(BOOL)textViewShouldReturn:(UITextView*)textView {
if (textView == myTextView) {
[textView resignFirstResponder];
}
return YES;
}
To assign it to an external button:
Be sure to define an IBAction in your header, then in Interface Builder, connect the button to this action for touchUpInside:
.h
-(IBAction)dismissKeyboard:(id)sender;
.m
-(IBAction)dismissKeyboard:(id)sender {
[myTextView resignFirstResponder];
}
Call resignFirstResponder on the textview that has focus in order to dismiss the keyboard.
How to Hide Keyboard by pressing Returnkey
There is a couple of things you need to remember. The number #1 part developers forget to set is the delegate of the textField.
If you are using the Interface Builder, you must remember that you need to set the delegate of the textField to the file Owner.
alt text http://www.thoughtblog.com/imgs/delegate.png
If you are not using Interface Builder then make sure you set the delegate of the textfield to self. I also include the returnType. For Example if the textField was called gameField:
gameField.delegate = self;
gameField.returnType = UIReturnKeyDone;
You must also implement the UITextFieldDelegate for your ViewController.
#interface YourViewController : UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate>
Finally you need to use the textFieldShouldReturn method and call [textField resignFirstResponder]
-(BOOL) textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField*) textField {
[textField resignFirstResponder];
return YES;
}
All your textFields will use this same method so you only need to have this setup once. As long as the delegate is set for the textField, the UITextFieldDelegate is implemented for the interface, you add the textFieldShouldReturn method and call the
resignFirstResponder your set.
The keyboard only shows up when something editable (usually a UITextField) has become the first responder. Therefore, to make the keyboard go away, you have to make the textField not be the firstResponder anymore. Fortunately, it's one line of code:
[myTextField resignFirstResponder];
You really need to include more information with your question, but I think this might be what you are looking for:
First, make your view controller implement the UITextFieldDelegate:
#interface MainViewController : UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate> {
Then add this method to the controller:
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField {
[textField resignFirstResponder];
return YES;
}
Read the UITextFieldDelegate documentation to see what else you can do.
Use these two methods:
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
activeTextField = textField;
return YES;
}
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField {
activeTextField = nil;
[txtPassword resignFirstResponder];
[txtUserName resignFirstResponder];
return YES;
}
Please make sure you have given delegates to each textfields. For that you should go to the view. Right click . set the delegate to view.
