iPhone application won't compile

There is error compiling on line 6 and 7. It says "Expected identifier or (". Can anybody please help me with this one?

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface BIDViewController : UIViewController
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *numberField;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *nameField;
- (IBAction)textFieldDoneEditing:(id)sender;
[self.nameField resignFirstResponder];
[self.numberField resignFirstResponder];
@end

BIDViewController.h:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface BIDViewController : UIViewController
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *numberField;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *nameField;
- (IBAction)textFieldDoneEditing:(id)sender;
@end

BIDViewController.m: 

#include "BIDViewController.h";

@implementation BIDViewController

- (IBAction)textFieldDoneEditing:(id)sender
{
    [self.nameField resignFirstResponder];
    [self.numberField resignFirstResponder];
}

@end

Your calls to resignFirstResponder don't belong in the @interface. They should be called from the relevant method in your @implementation (e.g. from textFieldShouldReturn, from a UITapGestureRecognizer or touchesBegan elsewhere on the screen, or wherever).

You can't fire methods in your header file. They need to be inside a method in your implementation file. Header(.h) files is for declaring stuff to the compiler etc. and the implementation file(.m) is where the magic should happened.

Do something like this

Your header file..

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface BIDViewController : UIViewController
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *numberField;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *nameField;
- (IBAction)textFieldDoneEditing:(id)sender;

@end

And your implementation file (.m)

#import "BIDViewController.h"

@implementation BIDViewController

- (IBAction)someMethodOrAction:(id)sender {

[self.nameField resignFirstResponder];
[self.numberField resignFirstResponder];
}

@end
