Question

I am running into an issue where the keyboard does not get dismissed when leaving a UITextField or UITextView in a UIModalPresentationFormSheet. In addition, I’ve created a large button to serve as the view’s background so if the user taps outside the fields it gets triggered. I am using the same code in a regular view controller, and it works as expected. In the modal view controller it does nothing. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(id)sender {  
 [titleTextField resignFirstResponder];
 return YES;
}

- (BOOL)textViewShouldReturn:(id)sender {  
 [synopsisTextView resignFirstResponder];
 return YES;
}

- (IBAction)textFieldDoneEditing:(id)sender {  
 [sender resignFirstResponder];
} 

- (IBAction)textViewDoneEditing:(id)sender {  
 [sender resignFirstResponder];
} 

- (IBAction)backgroundClick:(id)sender {  
 [titleTextField resignFirstResponder];
 [synopsisTextView resignFirstResponder];
}

Answer 1

Overriding disablesAutomaticKeyboardDismissal to return NO as below fixed the same problem of mine. You should put this code to your view controller, from which you initiate the keyboard:

- (BOOL)disablesAutomaticKeyboardDismissal {
    return NO;
}
