Dismiss The Keyboard - Multiple UITextFields in iOS 7

Question

below you\'ll find my .h & .m files for my primary viewcontroller.

I have 3 questions.

1.) Because I have multiple uitextfields, do I have to set each with

Answer 1

When the UITextField in question calls the delegate method of - (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField*)textField it passes itself in as the argument.

So the specific textField available as an argument to this method IS the specific one you care about. Within this delegate method, you can just refer to it as "textField".

That means that you should use what Mirko Catalano advised calling resignFirstResponder on textField rather than on the individual properties like you were doing.

Mirko's suggestion to verify that the delegate is indeed assigned is critical as well. You'll want to make sure that ALL of your UITextFields in the nib or storyboard have their delegate property pointing to File's Owner. Otherwise the delegate message will go nowhere and promptly be ignored!
