Dismiss Keyboard On drag

Question

I would like to dismiss the keyboard on swipe/drag after i search for results in my searchController.

I tried doing it through the main.storyboard but it didn't help.

if i search and get many results i would like scroll down and then the keyboard will dismiss and let me see my results better.If anyone can help that would be great, Thanks ahead !

Right now, When i have my results as seen in the picture the keyboard stays when i scroll down and its kind of annoying.

I am using Swift 2.3 and Xcode 8.1

Here is my searchController setup just in case :

// MARK : Search ! //

    var searchController : UISearchController!

    var resultsController = UITableViewController()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        definesPresentationContext = true
        self.resultsController.tableView.dataSource = self
        self.resultsController.tableView.delegate = self
        self.searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: self.resultsController)
        self.tableView.tableHeaderView = self.searchController.searchBar
        self.searchController.searchResultsUpdater = self
        self.searchController.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = true
        self.searchController.searchBar.sizeToFit()
        self.searchController.searchBar.barTintColor = UIColor.blackColor()
        self.searchController.searchBar.endEditing(true)
        self.searchController.searchBar.placeholder = "חפש ברים"
        self.searchController.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = false
        ////// MARK: END Of Search //////
}

The last result's Cell is being cut in half! :

As you are using a tableview u can able to dismiss keyboard while dragging using this property .

Swift

tableView.keyboardDismissMode = UIScrollViewKeyboardDismissMode.onDrag

Objective C

tableView.keyboardDismissMode =  UIScrollViewKeyboardDismissModeOnDrag

not working ... as said tried already applying this to the `tableView` within the `main.storyboard` , need to apply it to the UISearchController? – Newbie Questions Nov 11 '16 at 12:48

Implement the scroll view delegate method (scrollViewWillBeginDragging). In this method resignFirstResponder your search bar. You can also look at this SO answer.

func scrollViewWillBeginDragging(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
        searchController.searchBar.resignFirstResponder()//self.searchBar?.endEditing(true)
    }

Can you help me with physical Code maybe? sorry i just started coding and have no idea what so ever what to do xD – Newbie Questions Nov 11 '16 at 12:52
I am using a tableViewController so the delegate in the class row is redundant right? – Newbie Questions Nov 11 '16 at 12:59
Write this in your case:- `class ViewController: UITableViewController, UIScrollViewDelegate ` . Just implement the UIScrollviewDelegate. – pkc456 Nov 11 '16 at 13:01
i get an error its redundant to add this protocol. + the func doesn't work and it didn't solve my problem :\ – Newbie Questions Nov 11 '16 at 13:03
Just remove this line and implement the method(`scrollViewWillBeginDragging `) only. – pkc456 Nov 11 '16 at 13:05
Tried it . Did not work for me , I get This error : `Value of type 'MyViewController' has no member 'searchBar'` . So i tried replacing the `searchBar` with `searchController` & `resultsController` and it did not work either. – Newbie Questions Nov 11 '16 at 13:13
try `searchController.searchBar` – pkc456 Nov 11 '16 at 13:15
That worked! finally ! Thanks a lot for the effort . – Newbie Questions Nov 11 '16 at 13:17
I see something weird here tho , the last result's Cell is being cut in half i will add a picture just a sec – Newbie Questions Nov 11 '16 at 13:19
The last cell's size issue is related to auto layout. Describe the issue in a separate question. – pkc456 Nov 11 '16 at 13:22
damn , need to wait like an hour cause i asked about this not so long ago :) – Newbie Questions Nov 11 '16 at 13:23
it happens only in my searchController and not regular tableView ... is it still about Auto layout? – Newbie Questions Nov 11 '16 at 13:26
i made a question about it can you take a look please ? – Newbie Questions Nov 12 '16 at 15:42

Use tap gesture to dismiss the keyboard. Try the solution as given below:

override func viewDidLoad() {
  super.viewDidLoad()
  let tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action:      Selector("hideKeyboard"))
  tapGesture.cancelsTouchesInView = true
  tableView.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture)
}

func hideKeyboard() {
  tableView.endEditing(true)
}

The user said "swipe/drag" not "tap," but regardless, you need to do this: let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.hideKeyboard)) tap.numberOfTapsRequired = 1 self.view.addGestureRecognizer(tap) – Joshua Wolff Jan 17 '19 at 03:37

You add this UIScrollViewDelegate

// MARK: - UIScrollViewDelegate

  func scrollViewWillEndDragging(_ scrollView: UIScrollView, withVelocity velocity: CGPoint, targetContentOffset: UnsafeMutablePointer<CGPoint>) {
        if(velocity.y < 0){
//Scroll down 
            self.view.endEditing(true)
        }
    }
