ios - resignFirstResponder not working

Question

I have a view presented modally which contains 3 label.

The third label should not be editable and should show a UIDatePicker when clicked on it, and hiding keyboard if it displayed.

So I did that :

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
    if (textField == _birthdateTextField) {

        _birthdateDatePicker.hidden = NO;

        if ([_firstnameTextField isFirstResponder]) {
            NSLog(@"first");
            [_firstnameTextField resignFirstResponder];
        } else if ([_lastnameTextField isFirstResponder]) {
            NSLog(@"last");
            [_lastnameTextField resignFirstResponder];
        }

        return NO;
    }

    _birthdateDatePicker.hidden = YES;

    return YES;
}

I can clearly see my log message ("first" or "last", depending on last focused text field) but the keyboard is still displayed.

Someone is figuring out what's the problem here ?

Not sure if this will help, but you can set your `_birthdateDatePicker` object to the `_birthdateTextField`'s `inputView` property. If you do that, you don't really need to override `textFieldShouldBeginEditing` — Dan F, Jan 25 '13 at 19:26

If you presenting modal view as UIModalPresentationFormSheet, answer is here: Modal Dialog Does Not Dismiss Keyboard

iPad keyboard will not dismiss if modal ViewController presentation style is UIModalPresentationFormSheet

Instead of having to do this complicated work with overriding textFieldShouldBeginEditing you can just do this somewhere, like in viewDidLoad:

_birthdateTextField.inputView = _birthdateDatePicker;

And the date picker will replace the keyboard when you go to edit the birthdate text field
