UITextView - Keyboard Dismiss on Drag or Dismiss Interactively

I'm refactoring the view controller to include the feature to dismiss the keyboard. The layout has a UITextView and a toolbar (there is no off screen area that the user to dismiss the keyboard) see below -

enter image description here

In the storyboard, there is an option to dismiss keyboard in different ways in the UITextView and I changed it to dismiss on drag, or dismiss interactively. I don't see any change and couldn't do anything to dismiss the keyboard. How can I get the keyboard to dismiss interactively with the UITextView?

You can customize your keyboard and add a button for hide keyboard. After that, when you tap to screen, keyboard will appear and you can write again. Here is my sample code:

class ViewController: UIViewController {

@IBOutlet weak var myTextView: UITextView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.

    createToolbar(textField: myTextView)

}

func createToolbar(textField : UITextView) {
    let toolbar = UIToolbar()
    toolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyle.default
    toolbar.sizeToFit()
    let hidekeyboard = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Done", style: .plain, target: self, action: #selector(hidekeyboardd))

    toolbar.items = [hidekeyboard]
    myTextView.inputAccessoryView = toolbar
}

@objc func hidekeyboardd() {
     myTextView.resignFirstResponder()
}

For the built-in keyboard dismissing to work for a UIScollView or one of its subclasses (e.g. UITextView) the scroll view needs to be able to scroll. If there's not enough text in the text view to provide for scrolling, it won't perform a keyboard dismiss.

However, you can turn on vertical bouncing and then it will work. Check "Bounce Vertically" in interface builder or in code set myTextView.alwaysBounceVertical = true.
