Question

For some reason, in my app, the dismiss keybaord button on the lower right hand corner never works. I am able to use resignFirstResponder on the UITextField correctly, but if the user tries to us that button, nothing happens. any ideas?

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
    NSLog(@"shouldend");
    return YES;
}

- (BOOL) textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
    NSLog(@"should begin");
    return YES;
}

Additional Info: This is a problem for the entire app. The button never works in any textField in my app.

Answer 1

You probably need to implement the UITextFieldDelegate method – textFieldShouldEndEditing::

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
    return YES;
}

To test what’s going on, you can also put in simple NSLogs in – textFieldDidBeginEditing: and – textFieldDidEndEditing:. This will tell you whether to gesture is being received or not.
