When a UITextField is selected and has a keyboard shown, if I tap other parts of the view the keyboard disappears.
If I tap another UITextField, the keyboard stays up, the first textfield is deselected, and nothing happens. Then I need to tap on the other UITextFIeld again for selection to happen and a keyboard to appear.
Is there a way to make a second UITextField immediately accessible when a first UITextField is selected?
If you reload the tableview in textFieldDidEndEditing, you'll break selection in this way. Don't do that.
try it, press another view should call below fn.
-(void)disappearKey{
[self.view endEditing:YES];
}
after keyboard disappear, Tap any textfield, will appear keyboard.
First of all I think its a bug that the keyboard is not dismissed and opened again when tapping on another UITextField or UITextView. It should be reported and Apple should fix it.
Using the textfield delegate methods and registering for keyboard notification it should be possible to manually keep track if the user tapped on another textfield and the keyboard did not close and reopen. At the very least you should be able to detect when this is happening and close the keyboard manually by [textField resignFirstResponder];
The keyboard notification are as follows:
UIKeyboardWillShowNotification
UIKeyboardDidShowNotification
UIKeyboardWillHideNotification
UIKeyboardDidHideNotification
I'm''pretty sure you know the UITextfield and textview delegate methods
– textFieldShouldBeginEditing:
– textFieldDidBeginEditing:
– textFieldShouldEndEditing:
– textFieldDidEndEditing:
I am not in an active project at the moment so I'm not sure if I just ignored the problem but I can't recall this happening to me.
you can use BSKeyboardControls. just see the demo and decide to
use or not.
or you can do you have to set tag in sequence to the each textfield
in uiview. then use the below code.
-(BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField*)textField
{
NSInteger nextTag = textField.tag + 1;
UIResponder* nextResponder = [textField.superview viewWithTag:nextTag];
if (nextResponder) {
[nextResponder becomeFirstResponder];
} else {
[textField resignFirstResponder];
}
return NO;
}

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 implemented this in the UITextField delegate:
-(void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)iTextField {
[iTextField selectAll:iTextField];
}
My text field contain text.
When tapping on it, the keyboard goes up and all text selected.
when dismissing the keyboard and tapping again, no text selected (just blinking cursor).
when dismissing the keyboard and tapping again, all text selected again.
Any clue why does no text selected at the second tap?
have you tried with this?
textField.selectedTextRange = [textField textRangeFromPosition:textField.beginningOfDocument toPosition:textField.endOfDocument];
EDIT 1:
Now is going to work :), this call will be at the end of the queue
[textField performSelector:#selector(selectAll:) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.0];
I call selectAll in viewDidAppear works.
I am using a subclass of a scrollview that moves the keyboard out of the way. (TPKeyboardAvoidingScrollView)
I think this is conflicting with my implementation of the next and previous buttons. I have built an inputaccessoryview
I have a category that sets the next and previous textfields for each field
when i edit a textfield, i set the current, previous and next textfields
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
_currentTextField = textField;
_prevTextField = [textField prevTextField];
_nextTextField = [textField nextTextField];
return YES;
}
when they click next or previous i call this method
- (void)selectAdjacentResponder:(id)sender{
UISegmentedControl *segmented = sender;
if(segmented.selectedSegmentIndex == 0){
[_prevTextField becomeFirstResponder];
} else {
[_nextTextField becomeFirstResponder];
}
}
this works fine.. but when i close the keyboard. my scrollview is messed up. if i add the line
[_currentTextField resignFirstResponder];
to the first line of my selectadjacent method it solves the problem. but the problem is it makes the screen focus in a funky way since i'm dismissing and accessing the next textfield at the same time.
i have tried resigning first responder when i close the keyboard. but i think my scrollview is calculated before that point.. any idea what to do =/
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;
}
