There are multiple textfields in a viewcontroller in which some of them are customised (one tapping those textfield will launch a popover controller, from that user can select the option which will get displayed in tapped textfield).
I have a tap gesture on the view controller for dismissing the keyboard (if it's on the screen).
Keypad gets locked(if it's visible) when I open the popover controller on taping the customised textfield. The keyboard is not getting dismissed even if I tap on the parent view or else on the dismiss button in the keypad.
I have tried this 2 snippets to hide the keyboard, but it's not working
[self.scrollView endEditing:YES];
[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] endEditing:YES];
You can use textfields delegate to prevent it from presenting a keyboard and instead present popover yourself by implementing this textFieldShouldBeginEditing method
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
if(textField == myCustomTextField) {
[self openCustomPopover];
return NO;
}
return YES;
}
