Question

I’m trying to hide the keyboard after a touch anywhere else on the screen. The code I’m using is based on this answer here.

IBOutlet UITextView *myTextView;

And the method:

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {

    UITouch *touch = [[event allTouches] anyObject];
    if ([myTextView isFirstResponder] && [touch view] != myTextView) {
        [myTextView resignFirstResponder];
    }
    [super touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];
}

What I don’t understand is how I should link my UITextField to the touchesBegan method. Which sent event do I need to use? Also, shouldn’t the method be an IBAction, because right now I can’t connect my UITextField to it.

I also gave this code a try but that one was breaking my navigation buttons (even with the solution mentioned in the comments)

Because you don’t. You have to override this method on the view of which the text field is a subview.
