Calling endEditing in custom container view controller hides keyboard but doesn't change keyboard responder

Question

In my custom container view controller I need to hide the keyboard when some things occur.

Because I don't know who the first responder is I just force close it as follows:

for (UIViewController *child in self.childViewControllers) {
        [child.view endEditing:YES];
}
[self.view endEditing:YES];

The keyboard hides - which is great - but when I tap on a different text field - the previous text field which was the first responder before calling endEditing still gets the keyboards input.

Am I missing something here? Shouldn't it have resigned its first responder status? shouldn't the text field that was tapped get to be the first responder?

Answer 1

I think you should resignFirstResponder for that view .
