Tap Anywhere to Dismiss the iOS Keyboard
This is something so common I feel like it should be a built-in feature. It isn't though, so here's how to implement it yourself. If your app uses a UINavigationController
a custom subclass of that is a good place to use this.
@interface RootNavigationController ()
{
UIGestureRecognizer *tapRecognizer;
}
@end
@implementation RootNavigationController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
tapRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc]
initWithTarget:self
action:@selector(dismissInputViews)];
[tapRecognizer setCancelsTouchesInView:FALSE];
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:tapRecognizer];
}
-(void)dismissInputViews
{
[self.view endEditing:YES];
}
@end
That's it.
