I have a UIView with an UITapGestureRecognizer and on top I use textFields and checkboxes. I want to use this gestureRecongizer to remove the keyboard by clicking anywhere else.

But know my checkboxes call the selector of the recongizer?
How can I avoid this behavior?I already tried the exclusiveTouch property but it didn’t work.

Anyone who can recommend me a good workflow for this problem?

    1- Register as your recognizer delegate tapRecognizer.delegate = self; (declare that you are UIGestureRecognizerDelegate)

    2- Implement shouldReceiveTouch

    - (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldReceiveTouch:(UITouch *)touch {

}

    3- Check the touch.view to decide if the gesture should take care of that touch. In you case, return NO if its the checkbox view.

     - (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldReceiveTouch:(UITouch *)touch {
    if ([touch.view isKindOfClass:[yourCheckboxClass class]]) {
    return NO; // ignore the touch
    }
    return YES;
    }

    (You dont have to use isKindOfClass, You can use any other way to determine if its your checkbox)
