Dismissing the keyboard in a UIScrollView

Question

Alright, I have a couple of UITextFields and UITextViews inside a UIScrollView, and I\'d like to set the keyboard to disappear wheneve

Answer 1

Try This

[self.selectedViewController.view endEditing:YES];

Answer 2

Here is the cleanest way to achieve this in iOS 7.0 and above.

scrollView.keyboardDismissMode = UIScrollViewKeyboardDismissModeOnDrag;

Or

scrollView.keyboardDismissMode = UIScrollViewKeyboardDismissModeInteractive;

In Swift:

scrollView.keyboardDismissMode = .onDrag

Or

scrollView.keyboardDismissMode = .interactive

Answer 3

Bit late but if anyone else is searching an answer to this problem, this is how I have gone about solving it:

1) Create a tap gesture recognizer with a target callback method to dismiss your keyboard using resignFirstResponder on all your fields.

2) Add the tap gesture to the scrollview.

Here's an example:

UITapGestureRecognizer *tapGesture = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(hideKeyboard)];

// prevents the scroll view from swallowing up the touch event of child buttons
tapGesture.cancelsTouchesInView = NO;    

[pageScrollView addGestureRecognizer:tapGesture];

[tapGesture release];

...

// method to hide keyboard when user taps on a scrollview
-(void)hideKeyboard
{
    [myTextFieldInScrollView resignFirstResponder];
}

Answer 4

Try this scroll view delegate method -

link delegate in IB to scroll view and then cop this code (modify as per your need).

- (void)scrollViewDidEndDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView willDecelerate:(BOOL)decelerate
{         
//sample code    
    [challengeABallotComponent.voterNameTextField resignFirstResponder];
    [challengeABallotComponent.ballotNumberTextField resignFirstResponder];
    [locationInformation.pollingLocation resignFirstResponder];
}

This should work. You can try other delegate methods too like

   -(void)scrollViewDidScroll: (UIScrollView *)scrollView 
{
//do your stuff
}

Answer 5

Although the essence is the same, I prefer less code.

Setting the keyboard to disappear when the scrollView is scrolled in Attributes inspector:

Then disappear keyboard when scrollView is tapped:

1. Drag a Tap Gesture Recognizer onto your scrollView
2. 
3. 
4. Only one line in the action —— scrollView.endEditing(true). If you are using Objective-C, [self.scrollView endEditing: YES];

    extension UIView{
    //Set tag via storyboard 
    func keyboardDissmissInteractiveMode(_ tag:Int){
        if let scrollView = self.viewWithTag(tag) as? UIScrollView{
            scrollView.keyboardDismissMode = .interactive
        }
        if let tableview = self.viewWithTag(tag) as? UITableView{
            tableview.keyboardDismissMode = .interactive
        }
    }

    func keyboardDissmissOnDragMode(_ tag:Int){
        if let scrollView = self.viewWithTag(tag) as? UIScrollView{
            scrollView.keyboardDismissMode = .onDrag
        }
        if let tableview = self.viewWithTag(tag) as? UITableView{
            tableview.keyboardDismissMode = .onDrag
        }
    }


    func keyboardDissmissInteractiveMode(_ view:UIView){
        if let scrollView = view as? UIScrollView{
            scrollView.keyboardDismissMode = .interactive
        }
        if let tableview = view as? UITableView{
            tableview.keyboardDismissMode = .interactive
        }
    }

    func keyboardDissmissOnDragMode(_ view:UIView){
        if let scrollView = view as? UIScrollView{
            scrollView.keyboardDismissMode = .onDrag
        }
        if let tableview = view as? UITableView{
            tableview.keyboardDismissMode = .onDrag
        }
    }
