Hello I have two UITextFields in my application, and want to dismiss the keyboard when I just touch anywhere except the UITextFields how can I do this?

Answer 1

You need to create a custom button at the background and then connect it to the IBAction method that calls resignFirstResponder on the your UITextField

something like this

Edit:

as you want to add the button programmatically than you can use this code

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    UIButton *button = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
    button.buttonType = UIButtonTypeCustom;
    [button addTarget:self action:(buttonPressed) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
    [self.view addSubview:button];
    [button release];

and than add your controller code after this.
