Question

I am trying to make my editable UITextView resign the keyboard (resignFirstResponder) when the user taps “Done.” Using a UITextField, I have been able to do this with the following code:

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

… and then to attach it to the relevant UITextField in Interface Builder to the action “Did End on Exit.”

However, with a UITextView, I can’t seem to access the “Did End on Exit” action. Any suggestions on how to make this happen?

On your View, you’d have a UIBarButton (“Done”) that is connected to the IBAction below:

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

Where textView is your textView outlet defined in your .h file and connected in Storyboard or .xib file. Like this:

@property (retain, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextView *textView;

Check the following:

1. Is UITextViewDelegate specified
   in .h
2. Implement delegate method
   for uitextview:
   textViewShouldEndEditing, return YES
3. make sure your .m (controller) is the
   delegate for uitextview in IB
4. resignFirstResponder should now
   work.
