Ios - Dismiss Keyboard When Touching Outside of Uitextfield

Close iOS Keyboard by touching anywhere using Swift

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
          
    //Looks for single or multiple taps. 
     let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(UIInputViewController.dismissKeyboard))

    //Uncomment the line below if you want the tap not not interfere and cancel other interactions.
    //tap.cancelsTouchesInView = false 

    view.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
}

//Calls this function when the tap is recognized.
@objc func dismissKeyboard() {
    //Causes the view (or one of its embedded text fields) to resign the first responder status.
    view.endEditing(true)
}

Here is another way to do this task if you are going to use this functionality in multiple UIViewControllers:

// Put this piece of code anywhere you like
extension UIViewController {
    func hideKeyboardWhenTappedAround() {
        let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(UIViewController.dismissKeyboard))
        tap.cancelsTouchesInView = false            
        view.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
    }
    
    @objc func dismissKeyboard() {
        view.endEditing(true)
    }
}

Now in every UIViewController, all you have to do is call this function:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    self.hideKeyboardWhenTappedAround() 
}

This function is included as a standard function in my repo which contains a lot of useful Swift Extensions like this one, check it out: https://github.com/goktugyil/EZSwiftExtensions

How to dismiss keyboard when touch outside the textfield?

Try bellow code it hides the keyboard when user touches the view of uiviewcontroller, the code is in swift 3.0, hope it helps you.

override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
    self.view.endEditing(true) //This will hide the keyboard
}

Or else you have to set uitapgesturerecognizer for that specific view, or you can make that view uicontrol and set touchupinside event,
All you have to do is call self.view.endEditing(true) from any of above thing.

Dismiss keyboard in iOS

first of all write this extension in any swift file

extension UIViewController {
    func hideKeyboardWhenTappedAround() {
        let tap: UITapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(UIViewController.dismissKeyboard))
        view.addGestureRecognizer(tap)

    }

    func dismissKeyboard() {
        view.endEditing(true)
    }
}

Than in viewDidLoad of that View only call in any view controller there are textFields.

self.hideKeyboardWhenTappedAround()

iOS - Dismiss keyboard when touching outside of UITextField

You'll need to add an UITapGestureRecogniser and assign it to the view, and then call resign first responder on the UITextField on it's selector.

The code:

In viewDidLoad

UITapGestureRecognizer *tap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(dismissKeyboard)];

[self.view addGestureRecognizer:tap];

In dismissKeyboard:

-(void)dismissKeyboard 
{
    [aTextField resignFirstResponder];
}

(Where aTextField is the textfield that is responsible for the keyboard)

Swift 3 version looks like that

let tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.dismissKeyboard (_:)))
self.view.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture)

For dismissKeyboard

@objc func dismissKeyboard (_ sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
    aTextField.resignFirstResponder()
}

how to Dismiss Keyboard if we touch other area outside UITextView in Swift

option 1

Without blocking the UI add the cancelsTouchesInView
for your gesture `

let tapGestureReconizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "tap:")
tapGestureReconizer.cancelsTouchesInView = false
view.addGestureRecognizer(tapGestureReconizer)

option 2

else handle the resign in multiple ways

func tap(sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
 view.endEditing(true)
 // or use 
 noteTextView.resignFirstResponder()
 // or use
 view.super().endEditing(true)
 // or use
 view.keyboardDismissMode = .onDrag
}

How to dismiss keyboard when touching anywhere outside UITextField (in swift)?

Edited for Swift 4

Edit: Added @objc. While this isn't the best option for performance, one instance of it here shouldn't cause too many problems until there is a better solution.

Edited to fix when needing to interact with items behind GestureRecognizer.

Edit: Thanks @Rao for pointing this out. Added tap.cancelsTouchesInView = false.

This should help you with having multiple UITextView or UITextField

Create an extension of the view controller. This has worked much smoother for me and with less hassle than trying to use .resignFirstResponder()

extension UIViewController
{
    func setupToHideKeyboardOnTapOnView()
    {
        let tap: UITapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(
            target: self,
            action: #selector(UIViewController.dismissKeyboard))

        tap.cancelsTouchesInView = false
        view.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
    }

    @objc func dismissKeyboard()
    {
        view.endEditing(true)
    }
}

Call self.setupToHideKeyboardOnTapOnView() in the viewDidLoad

Best way to dismiss keyboard when tapping outside of UITextField - IOS

just do this:

class viewController: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate {

// Outlets
@IBOutlet weak var logoImage: UIImageView!
@IBOutlet weak var nameTF: CustomTextField!
@IBOutlet weak var emailTF: CustomTextField!
@IBOutlet weak var passwordTF: CustomTextField!
@IBOutlet weak var confirmPassTF: CustomTextField!

// Actions
@IBAction func signupButton(_ sender: UIButton) {
}


override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    logoImage.image = UIImage(named: "logo2")
    nameTF.delegate = self
    emailTF.delegate = self
    passwordTF.delegate = self
    confirmPassTF.delegate = self
    let tap: UITapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(dissMissKeyboard))
    view.addGestureRecognizer(tap)

}
func dissMissKeyboard() {
    view.endEditing(true)
}

Can't dismiss keyboard when editing UITextView and touching anywhere outside of keyboard in table view controller

• Add touchesBegan code in your UITableViewCell file , which will work if you touch outside TextField but inside cell

  override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
        self.Your_TextField.endEditing(true)
  }
  

• But it won't work outside cell (In UIVIew of another ViewController) , so add UITapGesture to achieve that

  override func viewDidLoad() {
  super.viewDidLoad()
       let tapgest = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(taptoend))
  
       self.Your_Table_View.addGestureRecognizer(tapgest)
  }
  
  @objc func taptoend()
  {
       self.Your_Table_View.endEditing(true)
       print("Key-Board will be dismissed here")
  }
  

How to exit keyboard on tap outside of uitextfield or button

You could exclude the taps on subviews using gestureRecognizer(_:, shouldReceive:) method in UIGestureRecognizerDelegate.

extension UIViewController: UIGestureRecognizerDelegate {
    func hideKeyboardWhenTappedAround() {
        let tap: UITapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(UIViewController.dismissKeyboard))
        tap.cancelsTouchesInView = false
        tap.delegate = self
        view.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
    }

    @objc func dismissKeyboard() {
        view.endEditing(true)
    }

    public func gestureRecognizer(_ gestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer, shouldReceive touch: UITouch) -> Bool {
        touch.view?.isDescendant(of: view) == false // will return false if touch was received by a subview
    }
}

Update: You could use touch.view == view instead of touch.view?.isDescendant(of: view) == false.
