resign keyboard when losing focus on uisearchbar

Question

I\'m making an UISearchBar option in the navigationbar of my app. My app consists of multiple views and subviews. I have this mainview which has 3 other views on himself. on

Answer 1

Solved it!

- (BOOL) searchBarShouldBeginEditing:(UISearchBar *)searchBar
{
    [self.myViewController1.customView1 setUserInteractionEnabled:NO];
    [self.myViewController2.customView2 setUserInteractionEnabled:NO];   
    [searchBar setShowsCancelButton:YES animated:[mySettings animation]];
    return YES;   
}

I started by shutting down the userInteraction on my 2 subviews, at the moment I start using the searchBar.

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event 
{    
    UITouch *touch = [[event allTouches] anyObject];
    if ([self.mySearchBar isFirstResponder] && [touch view] != self.mySearchBar) 
    {
        [self.mySearchBar resignFirstResponder];
        [self.myViewController1.customView1 setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];
        [self.myViewController2.customView2 setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];
    }
    [super touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];
}

Then when I click/tap/touch outside the searchBar I first resign the keyboard which is first responder still AND AFTER that I set userInteraction back on for the 2 subviews. The order of doing this is vital!

This piece of code allows u to resign the keyboard in a single mainViewController even when it is crowded with a massload of subviews.

Answer 2

Have you tried this,

UISearchBar *searchBar;

Next set the Getter and Setter Property of UISearchBar.

and call the any method

[searchBar resignFirstResponder];
