Hiding Keyboard in xcode storyboard - objective-c

Question

New to xcode,i'm creating a simple login form in xcode 4.2 and i would like to hide the keyboard,i have the correct code i think,from the tutorial it says i need to change the class of the view to UIControl but there is no option for this, is there another way when working with storyboards?
- (IBAction)backGroundTouched:(id)sender
{
[emailTextField resignFirstResponder];
[passTextField resignFirstResponder];
}

Answer 1

Assuming you are doing them inside the viewCotroller, invoke
[self.view endEditing:YES];

Answer 2

If your two text fields are subviews of some higher-level view you can also use [higherLevelView endEditing]; and not care which subview is currently active.

Answer 3

Make sure your both text fields is connect with it's IBOutlets.
No need to change UIView to UIControl.
// Connect every textfield's "Did end on exit" event with this method.
-(IBAction)textFieldReturn:(id)sender
{
[sender resignFirstResponder];
}
// Use this method also if you want to hide keyboard when user touch in background
-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
[emailTextField resignFirstResponder];
[passTextField resignFirstResponder];
}

Answer 4

I followed this tutorial: http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Writing_iOS_7_Code_to_Hide_the_Keyboard and it's working for me:
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
UITouch *touch = [[event allTouches] anyObject];
if ([_textField isFirstResponder] && [touch view] != _textField) {
[_textField resignFirstResponder];
}
[super touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];
}
