How to dismiss keyboard in a tableView after typing in textview

Question

In my app I have a UITableView, which includes in its first cell a UITextView and in the other cells just UILabels.

How can I dismiss the keyboard after typing something in the UITableView? I want to dismiss it anytime I tap on the other cells or scroll the tableview.

no it's not the same question. Return key in UITextView is for new line and I want it that way. I need to dismiss the keyboard when I start scrolling the UITableView or when tapping on anywhere outside the UITextView. — White Hat, Aug 31 '15 at 01:14

Here is the easiest and simplest way How I am doing this via IB.

Here you can set property as you want

or if you want via programming then

self.tableView.keyboardDismissMode = .onDrag

This worked for me : By code self.tableView.keyboardDismissMode = UIScrollViewKeyboardDismissModeOnDrag; – Naveen Shan May 01 '18 at 21:49

You can use the UITableViewDelegate which conforms to the UIScrollViewDelegate to implement:

func scrollViewWillBeginDragging(scrollView: UIScrollView) {
     dismissKeyboard()
}

func dismissKeyboard(){
     self.view.endEditing(true)
}

//Add to viewDidLoad:
var tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "dismissKeyboard")
tableView.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture)

//Or since you wanted to dismiss when another cell is selected use:
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath){
     dismissKeyboard()
}
