Question

I have one UIAlertView containing one UITextField with ok and cancel button. When I click on ok button i am calling webService. I want to return keyboard before calling webservice. Keyboard is not returning till response is not coming from webservice. Because of that half screen not visible to user during loading webservice. Here is my code which i did.

UIAlertView *alertview = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Forgot Password" message:@"    " delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:@"OK", nil];

    // Adds a username Field
    alertEmailtextfield = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(12.0, 45.0, 260.0, 29.0)]; 
    alertEmailtextfield.layer.cornerRadius = 07.0f;
    [alertEmailtextfield setBorderStyle:UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect];
    alertEmailtextfield.placeholder = @"Enter Email";
    [alertEmailtextfield setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]]; 
    alertEmailtextfield.autocapitalizationType =UITextAutocapitalizationTypeNone; //For Making Caps Off
    [alertview addSubview:alertEmailtextfield];

[alertview show];


- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {

    if (buttonIndex == 1) {

        if ([alertEmailtextfield.text length] != 0) {

            if (![self validEmail:alertEmailtextfield.text]) {

                [AlertView UIAlertView:@"Enter email is not correct"];

            }else{
                //[alertEmailtextfield resignFirstResponder];

                [NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(startSpinner) toTarget:self withObject:nil];

                Boolean isForgotPassword = [serverConnection forgotPassword:alertEmailtextfield.text];

                if (isForgotPassword) {

                    NSLog(@"Mail is send");

                    [AlertView UIAlertView:@"New password is send to your mail"];
                    [spinner stopAnimating];

                }else{

                    [AlertView UIAlertView:@"User does not exist"];
                    [spinner stopAnimating];
                }
            }
        }else{

            [AlertView UIAlertView:@"Text Field should not be empty"];
        }
    }
}

Please if any one knows how to return keyboard in UIAlertView’s UITextField, help me.

Might be u are doing both task (webservice call and keyboard resinging) in same main thread so untill ur data is not loading from server keyboard is not resign from view. call weservice method in background thread like.

-(void)alertView:(CustomAlert *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
[textField resignFirstResponder];
UPdate
[self performSelectorInBackground:@selector(yourWebservice) withObject:nil];

}
