Exit Keyboard in UITextField

Question

I inserted a text field into my application and now there is no way for the keyboard to close. How would I get the keyboard to close? Maybe by a button or clicking outside the textfield or something? Thanks!

Connect your button to an action and then add this line

[textField resignFirstResponder];

Say you have a textfield named myTextField, set the Delegate of the UITextField to your ViewController, add a referencing outlet between the File's Owner and the UITextField, then implement this method:

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField {
   if (textField == myTextField) {
       [textField resignFirstResponder];
   }
   return NO;
}

Just implement UITextFieldDelegate protocol in your .h file and define -- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField delegate in your .m file as follows:

-- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField

{

[textField  resignFirstResponder];

return YES;

}

Most important do not forget to set delegate property of your UITextFiled Object "self" as: m_txtTextFiled.delegate = self; when u allocate its intance.
