dismiss keyboard with a UITextView


I am sure this is not that difficult, but I am having trouble finding info on how to dismiss a keyboard with the return/done key using a textview, not a textfield. here is what I have tried so far(which works with a textfield.)

Thanks very much in advance for any help!

//  PostTravelQuestion.swift

class PostTravelQuestion: UIViewController, UITextViewDelegate {

    @IBAction func closepostpage(sender: AnyObject) {
        dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
    }


    @IBOutlet var postquestion: UITextView!


    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
        postquestion.delegate = self
    }

    self addDoneToolBarToKeyboard:self.textView


    /*func textViewShouldEndEditing(textView: UITextView) -> Bool {

        textView.resignFirstResponder()

        return true
    }*/

    /*override func touchesBegan(touches: NSSet, withEvent event: UIEvent) {
        postquestion.resignFirstResponder()
        self.view.endEditing(true)
    }*/



    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }


    func textViewShouldReturn(textView: UITextView!) -> Bool {
        self.view.endEditing(true);
        return true;
    }
}

Solution

  • This works for me:

    import UIKit
    
    class ViewController: UIViewController, UITextViewDelegate {
    
    
        @IBOutlet weak var textView: UITextView!
    
        override func viewDidLoad() {
            super.viewDidLoad()
    
            textView.delegate = self
        }
    
        /* Updated for Swift 4 */
        func textView(_ textView: UITextView, shouldChangeTextIn range: NSRange, replacementText text: String) -> Bool {
            if(text == "\n") {
                textView.resignFirstResponder()
                return false
            }
            return true
        }
    
        /* Older versions of Swift */
        func textView(textView: UITextView, shouldChangeTextInRange range: NSRange, replacementText text: String) -> Bool {
            if(text == "\n") {
                textView.resignFirstResponder()
                return false
            }
            return true
        }
    
    }
