Drop keyboard down with touch somewhere else?

[BuschyBoy]

When I have a UITextField and the keyboard comes up, I'd like to be able to get rid of the keyboard, either by using the "Done" key you sometimes see or by touching somewhere else. Anyone know how you would do this?

Thanks!

OK This one was tricky!

You need to add <UITextFieldDelegate>
to you declaration in the header file (so you can get called by by the text keyboard events

THEN

phoneNumber = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(100,100,100,30)];
[phoneNumber setText:@"859-555-1212"];
phoneNumber.delegate = self;

[self addSubviewhoneNumber];

//adding this method will allow you to check for touches

- (void)touchesBeganNSSet *)touches withEventUIEvent *)event
{
if (![touches containsObjecthoneNumber])
{
[phoneNumber resignFirstResponder];
}
}


// Sent when the return key on the keyboard is touched
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturnUITextField *)theTextField
{
[theTextField resignFirstResponder];
return YES;
}
