How to dismiss all keyboards of multiple text fields?

Question

I have three text fields in one view controller and when i do the method to dismiss the keyboard for all three text fields, the view controller doesn't come out.

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    self.namesuite.delegate = self;
    self.createpassword.delegate = self;
    self.createname.delegate = self;
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}

I also have the textFieldShouldReturn function.

-(BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField
{
    [textField resignFirstResponder];
    return YES;
}

This is my button function to send me to the view controller that has the text fields.

- (IBAction)createaccount:(id)sender
{
    [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"thirdsegue" sender:sender];
}

Debugging to determine textFieldShouldReturn function is call when click return on the keyboard or not? — HoanNguyen, Mar 27 '14 at 01:26
make sure you are confirming to both the UITextFieldDelegate and the UITextInputDelegate protocols — MrHaze, Mar 27 '14 at 01:31
What do you mean by "dismiss all keyboards"? There is only ever one keyboard. — rmaddy, Mar 27 '14 at 01:42
i have another view controller that when you click the button it goes into the new view controller, without the keyboard dismissal it segues into the next view but when i add the method for all text fields, the new view controller doesn't come out and it stops debugging. — user3462406, Mar 27 '14 at 05:00

I had several textField, like 10 of them. Resigning first responder was big pain. this one liner saved hours of coding for me. Thanks Rashad. – Alok C May 08 '14 at 16:02

You should try this control (TPKeyboardAvoiding) and get ride of resign and scrolling issues. Its a generic solution.

Try:

-(BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField
{
    [self.namesuite resignFirstResponder];
    [self.createpassword resignFirstResponder];
    [self.createname resignFirstResponder];

    return YES;
}

or

-(BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField
{
    if (textField == self.namesuite)
    {
         [self.namesuite resignFirstResponder];
    }
    else if (textField == self.createpassword)
    {
         [self.createpassword resignFirstResponder];
    }
    else if (textField == self.createname)
    {
         [self.createname resignFirstResponder];
    }

return YES;
}

I've tried both and it still doesn't go away when i click return. :( – user3462406 Mar 27 '14 at 19:37
Show us your extra code to push the next View. Where is it? – Gabriel.Massana Mar 27 '14 at 21:40
Can you explain a little bit where is everything? I need more information. You are clicking a UIButton to go to a View with the UITextFields? – Gabriel.Massana Mar 27 '14 at 23:04
Yes, the button is in the second view and once is clicked another view controller pops up with text fields. I took off the text fields and now still won't go. So im guessing the problem is in the segue? – user3462406 Mar 27 '14 at 23:40
when it crashes this comes out. xcode terminating with uncaught exception of type nsexception – user3462406 Mar 27 '14 at 23:50
Can you edit your post and clarify all the information. Please step by step what happens. – Gabriel.Massana Mar 28 '14 at 07:05
