keyboard not responding to resignFirstResponder

Question

Instead of showing the keyboard I want to display a popover view when a textField is selected (my code is at the bottom). If the keyboard isn\'t showing then everything wor

Answer 1

You appear to be resigning the first responder of the text field; however, this isn't necessarily the first responder, which may explain why calling it has no effect.

Instead, you should use the endEditing category to recurse through all children of your view to resign the first responder from whichever view it is attached to:

[self.view endEditing:YES];

In any case, as you never want to show the keyboard, you can simply implement UITextFieldDelegate to override the default behaviour.

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
    // Your popover code.

    return NO;
}
