how to dismiss a keyboard when there is no textfield to resignFirstResponder - ios

Question

in the following scenario clicking on the pencil turns the iz 1 text to be editable by making it becomeFirstResponder and the keyboard opens, I wish to close the keyboard when clicking on the "empty rows" or iz2.
how can i do that?
I've tried adding to the cellView
-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event{
[self dismissKeyboard];
}
but it didn't work

Answer 1

You can hide keyboard using this:
[self.view endEditing:YES];
EDIT
Add gesture in where you can call becomeFirstResponder.
- (void)showKeyboard
{
UITapGestureRecognizer *gesture = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(hide)];
[self.tableView addGestureRecognizer:gesture];
}
and remove it in hide method,
- (void)hide
{
[self.view endEditing:YES];
[self.view removeGestureRecognizer:self.view.gestureRecognizers[0]];
}

Answer 2

Just call:
-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
[self.view endEditing:YES];
}
Or:
-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
NSIndexPath *indexPathForYourCell = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:0];
YourCustomCell *cell = [self tableView:self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPathForYourCell];
[cell.iz1TextField resignFirstResponder];
}

Answer 3

my final solution was something similar to what #caglar suggested here is the code i've written inside tableviewcontroller:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UITapGestureRecognizer *tap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc]
initWithTarget:self
action:#selector(dismissKeyboard)];
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:tap];
}
-(void)dismissKeyboard
{
[self.view endEditing:YES];
}
