Close iOS Keyboard by touching outside ( a smarter way)

I have UIViewController with UITextfield and several other elements (several subviews and buttons). I want to close the keyboard when tapped somewhere outside of the UITextfield.



I know there is an answer Close iOS Keyboard by touching anywhere using Swift, but this way doesn't work if user taps on viewController's subviews or buttons.
I can add the similar UITapGestureRecognizer for each subViews and buttons, but is there a smarter way to resolve this?

  • Try this : github.com/hackiftekhar/IQKeyboardManager and put this line IQKeyboardManager.shared.shouldResignOnTouchOutside = true in your didFinishLaunchingWithOptions so when you touch outside it will dismiss keyboard.

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


Also if you have elements in a UIScrollView, add this method too:



extension UIScrollView {
open override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
self.next?.touchesBegan(touches, with: event)
}
}
