Dismiss UIAlertController keyboard in Swift 2.3

Question

I recently upgraded to latest Xcode version and converted my project to Swift 2.3. Until 2.2, when I displayed an UIAlertController I dismissed the keyboard with the classic

override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?){ 
   view.endEditing(true)         
   super.touchesBegan(touches, withEvent: event)
}

Well, it doesn't work anymore. Tried to change textView's UIKeyboardType and returnKeyType. No luck. Any thoughts?

when alert is presented `touchesBegan` is not fired as alert's background view overlaps your complete self.view. It works with keyboard because keyboard is half presented. — Rajan Maheshwari, Oct 30 '16 at 11:03
alexburtnik: Thanks for the link. Rajan Maheshwari: you are right. My UIAlertController was too big and its controls were hidden by the keyboard "predictive" mode. I shrinked it and it worked fine. Thanks. — Felipe Andai, Oct 30 '16 at 15:32

Try to use a tapGesture Recognizer for the View. Try out this link

Or you can try out this Code:

override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?)
{        
super.touchesBegan(touches, withEvent: event)
view.endEditing(true)  
}

Hope this helps you out. Happy coding
