UITextView in inputAccessoryView will not resignFirstResponder

I have a view of a UIViewController which has a UITextField as a subview. The text field implements an event on UIControlEventEditingDidBegin. This event sets the inputAccessoryView of the text field and adds a "shadow" view on the view of the view controller to block interaction with the view.

The inputAccesoryView is a UIView with a UITextView as subview. The UITextView is set as firstResponder when the keyboard shows (registered on UIKeyboardDidShowNotification).

When the "shadow" view is touched I call the following method:

-(void)dismissKeyboard
{
    self.dimScreenView.alpha = 0.0f;
    self.writingView.txtView.text = @"";

    [self.writingView.txtView resignFirstResponder];
}

But the keyboard does not disappear when the shadow view is touched. I have tried calling the [self.writingView.txtWritingField endEditing:YES] and [self.writingView endEditing:YES], but I cannot make it work.

Should I do something special to make the keyboard disappear when the inputAccessoryView has a subview, that is firstResponder?

Update:

It turns out, that the UITextView and UITextField both returns NO on the isFirstResponder property, even if I do not call resignFirstResponder. How can none of the text views be firstResponder while the keyboard is still present?

like @malex said, after [self.writingView.txtView resignFirstResponder];, your UITextField becomes the first responder again. So you should add the code let the UITextField resign first responder too:

-(void)dismissKeyboard
{
    self.dimScreenView.alpha = 0.0f;
    self.writingView.txtView.text = @"";

    [self.writingView.txtView resignFirstResponder];
    [yourTextField resignFirstResponder];
}

After [self.writingView.txtView resignFirstResponder];

your textField becomes the first responder again and keyboard is on screen with former inputAccessoryView staying from textView. So you only need to reload it:

-(void)dismissKeyboard
{
    self.dimScreenView.alpha = 0.0f;
    self.writingView.txtView.text = @"";

    [self.writingView.txtView resignFirstResponder];

    self.textField.inputAccessoryView = nil;
    [self.textField reloadInputViews];
}

In this way you can hide inputAccessoryView but you need another way to make it the first responder again because focus moves to textField immediately.

You mention UITextView is set as firstResponder but in the code you are passing resignFirstResponder to the textField instance. Try calling resignFirstResponder on the textview instance.
