How to dismiss keyboard without pressing Return key nor any other controllable button

I have seen many samples on how to hide the keyboard when pressing return or actioning some button.

But my case is different: How do I dismiss the keyboard just clicking outside the TextField? Imagine the user has tapped a TextField to enter some text... But he regrets and just want to hide the keyboard and continue viewing the screen as before tapping in the textfield

I don't find how to do it

Thanks in advance

Try this code.

- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent*)event 
{
 UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
 if([touch view] == self.view)
    [textField resignFirstResponder];
}

Implement touchesBegan and resign the text field as first responder.

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
    [activeTextField resignFirstResponder];
}

If you have multiple text fields, you should store a pointer to currently active one in activeTextField instance variable. To do that, you would have to set self as delegate for all text fields and implement this delegate method:

- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
    activeTextField = textField;
}
