Answer 1

Resigning the textField: All your textField.delegate should be set as ViewController's object. And then implement the below delegate method.

-(BOOL) textFieldShouldReturn: (UITextField *) textField {
[textField resignFirstResponder];
    return YES;
}

To dismiss Keyboard on tap of the View: Add a Tap gesture to your ViewController.view as follows:

//declare a property to store your current responder
@property (nonatomic, assign) id currentResponder;


//in viewDidLoad:

UITapGestureRecognizer *singleTap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(resignOnTap:)];
    [singleTap setNumberOfTapsRequired:1];
    [singleTap setNumberOfTouchesRequired:1];
    [self.view addGestureRecognizer:singleTap];
    [singleTap release];

//Implement the below delegate method:

- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
    self.currentResponder = textField;
}

//Implement resignOnTap:

- (void)resignOnTap:(id)iSender {
    [self.currentResponder resignFirstResponder];
}
// was missing ; after the call --> [self.currentResponder resignFirstResponder]
    // also in textFieldDidEndEditing set self.currentResponder = nil;
