Question

Is there any way to hide or do not show the keyboard without calling resignFirstResponder in iOS? I know different method to hide keyboard, first one is to make the textview non editable, or using

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldEndEditing:(UITextView *)textview
{
    [textview resignFirstResponder];
}

but in my case these method will not be works out, becz I just want to dismiss or hide the keyboard only, but need the editing in textview. I have a textview which contains some text, when I tap the sentence it need to be selected, I have done that selection part nicely, but when I write above keyboard dismissal method in my project, the selection of the tapped sentence doesn’t appear,.is there any method to o this.

Answer 1

Textfield’s selection will remain only when you are in editing mode. When you resign your first responder your selection disappears too.

To avoid bringing keypad in editing mode, you can change the input view. For example , look at the code,

    textview.inputView = [[UIView alloc] init];

This brings a custom input view and it is not visible.
