Answer 1

1. Make your view controller conform to UITextViewDelegate protocol
2. In Interface Builder, connect the delegate on the text view to your view controller.
3. Add the following function to your view controller:

---

func textViewDidChange(textView: UITextView) {
    if textView == self.textView {
        self.doneButton.enabled = !textView.text.isEmpty
    }
}

Answer 2

Try this in textViewDidChange method:

yourBarButtonItem.isEnabled = !(yourTextField.text?.isEmpty ?? false)

Answer 3

Try to use another delegate method for you're purpose. This is example :

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var button: UIButton!
    @IBOutlet weak var textView: UITextView!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        textView.delegate = self

        if (textView.text.isEmpty) {
            button.enabled = false
        }
    }
}

extension ViewController: UITextViewDelegate {

    func textView(textView: UITextView, range: NSRange, replacementText text: String) -> Bool
    {
        if (!textView.text.isEmpty) {
            button.enabled = true
        } else {
             button.enabled = false
        }
        return true
    }
}
