How to make UITextView "Done" button resignFirstResponder? - iphone

Question

I am trying to make my editable UITextView resign the keyboard (resignFirstResponder) when the user taps "Done." Using a UITextField, I have been able to do this with the following code:
- (IBAction)doneEditing:(id)sender {
[sender resignFirstResponder];
}
... and then to attach it to the relevant UITextField in Interface Builder to the action "Did End on Exit."
However, with a UITextView, I can't seem to access the "Did End on Exit" action. Any suggestions on how to make this happen?

Answer 1

The accepted answer didn't work for me. Instead, the following delegate method should be invoked like this:
- (BOOL) textView:(UITextView *)textView shouldChangeTextInRange:(NSRange)range replacementText:(NSString *)text {
if([text isEqualToString:#"\n"]){
[textView resignFirstResponder];
return NO;
}else{
return YES;
}
}
Paste that into the class that you assign to be the UITextView delegate and it'll work.

On your View, you'd have a UIBarButton ("Done") that is connected to the IBAction below:
- (IBAction)doneEditing:(id)sender {
[textView resignFirstResponder];
}
Where textView is your textView outlet defined in your .h file and connected in Storyboard or .xib file. Like this:
#property (retain, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextView *textView;

Check the following:
Is UITextViewDelegate specified
in .h
Implement delegate method
for uitextview:
textViewShouldEndEditing, return YES
make sure your .m (controller) is the
delegate for uitextview in IB
resignFirstResponder should now
work.

Answer 3

You can implement UITextViewDelegate and wait for "\n", in Swift 4 :
myTextView.delegate = self
// ...
extension MyViewController : UITextViewDelegate {
func textView(_ textView: UITextView, shouldChangeTextIn range: NSRange, replacementText text: String) -> Bool {
if text == "\n" {
textView.resignFirstResponder()
return false
}
return true
}
}

Answer 4

To have the done button dismiss the keyboard and resignFirstResponder you have to implement a delegate method.
In your .h implement the UITextFieldDelegate
#interface YourViewController : UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate>
Then implement the textFieldShouldReturn in your .m
-(BOOL) textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField
{
[textField resignFirstResponder];
return YES;
}
Don't forget to link the delegate of UITextField to the file's Owner (very important)
