Prevent Keyboard from appearing when tapping on UITextField

I'm using a UITextField to show results of a calculation but I don't want the keyboard to appear when the user taps on the UITextField.

I'm using a UITextField because I still want the user to be able to Copy and Paste the calculation back into the UITextField, but I don't want the keyboard to show up.

UIKeyboardWillHide only works after the keyboard is displayed.

You can try this as well VIA text field delegate method.

func textFieldDidBeginEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
        textField.resignFirstResponder()
        // your custom impl
}

textField.inputView = UIView()

This line of code in your textFieldDidBeginEditing func will do the job.

My func:

func textFieldDidBeginEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
        keyboardView.activeTextField = textField
        textField.inputView = UIView()
    }

Swift 4.2, This works for me. put in viewDidLoad()

//It will Hide Keyboard
textField.inputView = UIView()
//It will Hide Keyboard tool bar
textField.inputAccessoryView = UIView()
//It will Hide the cursor
textField.tintColor = .white

First set delegate with your UITextField in self class.

You can do with below 2 ways.
1. From storyboard
2. From Code ( You can write at viewDidLoad() )

textField.delegate = self

Then declare protocol UITextFieldDelegate in your class.

Now call delegate method.

func textFieldShouldBeginEditing(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
    self.view.endEditing(true)
    return true
}

Its quite simple to do with UITextField. Use this code in viewDidLoad()

self.txtresult.inputView = UIView()
  self.txtresult.inputAccessoryView = UIView()

you could use an "empty" inputview like this:

func textFieldShouldBeginEditing(textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
    let inputView = UIView(frame: .zero)
    inputView.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
    inputView.opaque = false
    textField.inputView = inputView

    return true
}
