I have a search bar in my SearchViewController, and currently, when they type into it, there's no Go button, it shows only return. I want a Go button to show in the keyboard, and I want it to be connected to the - (IBAction)nextButton:(id)sender that I have connected to the existing next UIButton under the search bar.
How do I go about enabling this and connecting it in this way? To clarify, the search bar and next button were created in storyboard, not programmatically.
[textField setReturnKeyType:UIReturnKeyGo];
or
- (void)setReturnKey {
//use condition here(not empty field)
self.searchField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyGo;
}
the other thing as Ghobs said you can find here...
- (BOOL) textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField{
[textField resignFirstResponder];//Dismiss the keyboard.
//Add action you want to call here.
return YES;
}
source for above code:Action of the "Go" button of the ios keyboard

I need to hide the IOS keyboard when i press a button on the screen.
Whatever i try, the keyboard doesn't go away when i press the button on the screen.
// This is the button
-(IBAction)showDateView:(id)sender
// hide keyboard
[self.view endEditing:YES];
}
Thanks
[self.textfield resignFirstResponder];
- resignFirstResponder
Notifies the receiver that it has been asked to relinquish its status as first responder in its window.
in general there may be more than one textfields in your screen you don't know which textField must be resigned so add all the textField objects into an array and iterate a loop to resignFirstResponder
for (uilabel *textField in labelObjArray) {
[textField/textView resignFirstResponder]
}
the key board will be resigned immediate
[self.view endEditing:YES];
This will work if the responder was initiated from the view.
[self.navigationController.navigationBar endEditing:YES]
This will work if the responder was initiated from the navigation bar.
Hi, I am not able to dismiss keyboard. I have a scroll view which have UITextFields on a it. I tried using
[self.view endEditing:YES];
And
[self.scrollView endEditing:YES];
I tried using resignFirstResponder on individual textfields but no use.
This issue only occurs when I tap a textfield which I am using as button when taped upon it I use
[textField resignFirstResponder];
but old one don't resign whatever I do like I tried using endEditing before I resigned the button like textfield. So my question is what could be the problem in my scenario and is there any way to forcefully dismiss keyboard?
If you want textField to act as button, use delegates.
textField.delegate=self;
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
return NO;
}
I have a textfield that is readonly. I have another Search View Controller(VC) also. My aim is when the user clicks on readonly textfield it should open the searchVC. I tried attaching Push seque to SearchVC but it's not working. Tried same with a button and works seamlessly.
Pls suggest whats the approach for this.
You can use gesture to your textfield
or
You can use custom button above the textfield. You have to show/hide the button on textfield disabled/enabled
try this
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
if (textField.tag==1)
{
//write alert view to check "click on this text filed alert is appearing"
return NO;
}
else if (textField.tag==2)
{
//it's behave normal uitextfiled
return YES;
}
}
I have a modal set up like this:
Despite appearances, the first two fields are UITextFields that become first responders and display the keyboard. The third 'Department' item is a table view and pushes another view.
I have implemented a scroll view so that while either of the fields is being edited, the user can scroll around and reach the department cell:
When it is selected, before the push, I would like to hide the keyboard. It's a small detail, but try adding a new event on Apple's 'Calendar' app. It opens with the first text field as first responder (so keyboard is present). If you select the start/end cell, the keyboard hides as the next view is pushed.
How do I achieve this? As a test I tried:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
NSLog(#"hiding keyboard");
if ([ingredientName isFirstResponder]) {
NSLog(#"resigning name field");
[ingredientName resignFirstResponder];
}
else if ([ingredientAmount isFirstResponder]){
NSLog(#"resigning amount field");
[ingredientAmount resignFirstResponder];
}
}
The logging confirms that these are getting called. But the keyboard does not hide. It simply stays in place as the view slides out. And on return, the previous field still has focus (and the keyboard is out).
Any ideas?
resignFrstResponder will not dismiss the keyboard when you're using a modal view.
Another dev found a workaround for this behavior here: http://viraj-workstuff.blogspot.com/2010/12/resignfirstresponder-does-not-hide.html
Not terribly elegant, but try stealing the firstresponder status with an ad-hoc, invisible UITextField:
-(void)dismissKeyboard {
UITextField *textField;
textField=[[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
[self.view addSubview:textField];
[textField becomeFirstResponder];
[textField resignFirstResponder];
[textField removeFromSuperview];
// [textField release] // uncomment if not using ARC
}
Two things:
Are you using a segue for pushing that other VC? If so, resign the keyboard in the prepareForSegue method.
If not, try using willSelectRowForIndexPath instead of didSelectRowAtIndexPath
I have an UITextView and I don't want check editable option, how can call keyboard via a button?
This code doesn't work for me!
-(IBAction) yourButtonClick
{
[myTextView becomeFirstResponder];
[self.view addSubview:myTextView];
}
From the iPhone Application Programming Guide
However, you can programmatically
display the keyboard for an editable
text view by calling that view’s
becomeFirstResponder method. Calling
this method makes the target view the
first responder and begins the editing
process just as if the user had tapped
on the view.
So to show the keyboard programmatically,
[textView becomeFirstResponder];
However, the keyboard will never show if the textView is not editable.
The purpose of showing the keyboard is to allow editing. I assume you just don't want the keyboard to appear when the user taps the text view. In this case, you can enable editable programmatically when the button is tapped.
-(IBAction) yourButtonClick
{
myText.editable = YES;
[myText becomeFirstResponder];
}
Then in the UITextViewDelegate, disable editable when the user finishes editing.
- (void)textViewDidEndEditing:(UITextView *)textView {
textView.editable = NO;
}
