disable keyboard popup when user taps on uisearchbar

Question

I need some help regarding this issue.

I want to disable the keyboard popup when user taps on a searbar in my app. Any one have an idea on how to do that? It would be even better if it is possible to completely disable keyboard in the app.

I am developing this app in swift for iOS btw.

I have added a searchbar in the view programmatically using the following code:

    let searchController: UISearchController!
    self.searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
    self.searchController.searchResultsUpdater = self
    self.searchController.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = false
    self.searchController.searchBar.sizeToFit()
    self.searchController.searchBar.placeholder = "Search"

You just need to add UIKeyboardWillShowNotification in View Did Load

NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.keyboardAppears), name: UIKeyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil)

Implement keyboardAppears function in Your Class and resign searchBard Responder.

func keyboardAppears() -> Void {
    searchController.searchBar.resignFirstResponder()
}

If you want to disable keyboard for whole app you can follow this link
