How do I dismiss the iOS keyboard?

Question

I have a UITextfield that i\'d like to dismiss the keyboard for. I can\'t seem to make the keyboard go away no matter what code i use.

Answer 1

To resign any text field in the app

UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.endEditing(true)

This approach is clean and guarantied to work because the keyWindow is, by definition, the root view of all possible views displaying a keyboard (source):

The key window receives keyboard and other non-touch related events. Only one window at a time may be the key window.

Answer 2

-(void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
    // your code

    [textField reloadInputViews];
}

Answer 3

In your view controller YourViewController.h file, make sure you implement UITextFieldDelegate protocol :

@interface YourViewController : <UITextFieldDelegate>

@end

Then, in YourViewController.m file, implement the following instance method:

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    [self.yourTextField1 resignFirstResponder];
    [self.yourTextField2 resignFirstResponder];
    ...
    [self.yourTextFieldn resignFirstResponder];
}

Answer 4

as a last resort

Answer 5

[myTextField resignFirstResponder]

Here, second paragraph in the Showing and Hiding the Keyboard section.

Answer 6

You just replace yourTextFieldName with, you guessed it! your textfield. This will close the keyboard.

[yourTextFieldName resignFirstResponder];
