Answer 1

An answer to your question on how to dismiss the keyboard in Xcode 6.1 using Swift below:

import UIKit

class ItemViewController: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate {

    @IBOutlet var textFieldItemName: UITextField!

    @IBOutlet var textFieldQt: UITextField!

    @IBOutlet var textFieldMoreInfo: UITextField!


    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        textFieldItemName.delegate = self
        textFieldQt.delegate = self
        textFieldMoreInfo.delegate = self
    }

                       ...

    /**
     * Called when 'return' key pressed. return NO to ignore.
     */
    func textFieldShouldReturn(textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
        textField.resignFirstResponder()
        return true
    }


   /**
    * Called when the user click on the view (outside the UITextField).
    */
   override func touchesBegan(touches: NSSet, withEvent event: UIEvent) {
        self.view.endEditing(true)
   }

}

Answer 2

Edit

This workaround was specific for the above question , so stop downvote this answer. This is not about simply dismissing the keyboard. This is about being able to edit the textfield with custom inputView and make the textfield editable when there is no keyboard visible.

This makes your textfields keyboard disappear and still editable .

Objective-C

yourTextField.inputView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];

Swift

yourTextField.inputView = UIView(frame: CGRectZero)

Answer 3

Try this

self.endEditing = YES; 

In your ViewController

Answer 4

I've got solution from Ezimet 's answer

For Swift 5

myTextField.inputView = UIView(frame: CGRect.zero)
