Is there a way to know when a certain UITextView has been entered?

I have two UITextViews! The problem i have is that I want an action to be performed when one of the textViews is entered and not the other! I placed the action code in

- (BOOL)textViewShouldBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView

But the action is performed when either text view is entered. Is there a method that informs when a certain text view is being used?

You can do it in two ways

first 

- (BOOL)textViewShouldBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView
{
    if ( textView == YourTextView ) 
    {
            // ----- do here 
    }
    return YES;
}

Second is 

- (BOOL)textViewShouldBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView
{
    if ( yourTextView.tag == yourTag) 
    {
            // ----- do here 
    }
    return YES;
}

Its for this purpose itself textView is passed as an argument to the delegate function 

- (BOOL)textViewShouldBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView

You can maintain properties for the textview instances and within the delegate call just check which of the textview received the touch.

You can set the tag of your UITextView to differentiate them.

// Somewhere in your code
UITextView *firstTextView = // set up your text view
firstTextView.tag = 0;

- (BOOL)textViewShouldBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView {
    // ...
    if (textView.tag == 0) {
        // firstTextView
    }
    // ...
}
