I have a textfield inside UIWebview. When pressing done button, keyboard not hiding and continue to display over the view. I want to dismiss the keyboard whenever done button is pressed. Is there any way to get done button action in my swift code?

Any help will be appreciated.

by textfield inside a UIWebview , I take it as UITextField as a subview inside a UIWebview right ? in that s the case you just need to implement the UITextFieldDelegate in your class, specifically this delegate method textFieldShouldReturn , which is called whenever the done button is tapped, so basically you ll have something like this : 

func textFieldShouldReturn(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
       if (textField == correctTextField) {
           textField.resignFirstResponder()
        }
        return true
    }

obviously you will need to assign that controller as the textField delegate in the first place

but supposedly it s not a native textfield but rather a html or some kind of a part of the webcontent then what i would do , i would make it invoke a request with a special scheme, for exemple "hideKeyboard" and i would implement uiwebviewdelegate and test for that scheme to hide the keyboard whenever i encouter it, here s an exemple in obj c:

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request
 navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
{
    NSURL *URL = [request URL];
    NSString *scheme = [URL scheme];
    if ([scheme isEqualToString:@"hideKeyboard"]) {
      [self.view endEditing:true];
    }
}

  • textfield is not native, its created from webpage. – Jan Jun 21 '17 at 09:10
  • ok that s more precise, well in that case the question becomes what does the done button invoke in that "webpage"? – Hussein Dimessi Jun 21 '17 at 09:17
  • I just want to hide keyboard when hit return button, in webpage cant do anything related to that. – Jan Jun 21 '17 at 11:26
  • no i meant does it send a request or something ...? that way way you can implement the webview delegate , intercept that request and hide the keyboard then – Hussein Dimessi Jun 21 '17 at 11:46
  • so for every url i have to check and hide keyboard right? Actually many more search bar are there in the webpage so it will be a difficult task – Jan Jun 21 '17 at 12:07
  • nope here s what i would do, make a special scheme and test on it, for exemple instead of http ... i ll use a custom scheme "hideKeyboard" .. and test on schemes for it in the delegate method, i ll put in exemple in my original comment – Hussein Dimessi Jun 21 '17 at 12:09
