Question

i am wondering how i would handle closing keyboard in UITextField, i know how to do it when i do it via Outlets, but now i am declaring my textfields in code like this:

(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"Cell"];
if (cell == nil) {
    cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:@"Cell"];
}

cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;

UITextField *playerTextField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 185, 30)];
playerTextField.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = YES;
playerTextField.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
if([indexPath row] == 0) {
    playerTextField.placeholder = @"Server Address";
    playerTextField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeDefault;
    playerTextField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyDone;
} else if([indexPath row] == 1){
    playerTextField.placeholder = @"Server Port";
    playerTextField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeDecimalPad;
    playerTextField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyDone;
} else {
    playerTextField.placeholder = @"Password";
    playerTextField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeDefault;
    playerTextField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyDone;
    playerTextField.secureTextEntry = YES;
}

playerTextField.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
playerTextField.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;
playerTextField.autocapitalizationType = UITextAutocapitalizationTypeNone;
playerTextField.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft;
playerTextField.tag = 0;

playerTextField.clearButtonMode = UITextFieldViewModeNever;
[playerTextField setEnabled: YES];

[cell.contentView addSubview:playerTextField];


return cell;
}

How would i manage that?

Because your textfield is inside a cell, you need to tag it, which you already are, however i would recommend using something different than 0. then whenever you need to resign it (assuming you know which cell to look for) :

    UITextField *myField = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:myRow inSection:mySection]].contentView viewWithTag:myTag];
    [myField resignFirstResponder];

if you dont know which cell it is then youll need to loop through all the cells.

hope this helps
