iOS - Dismiss keyboard on Return key

Question

I am working with a UITextView and I need to dismiss the keyboard by pressing return key. This is what I'm doing:

class MyController: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate {

    @IBOutlet weak var writeNote: UITextView!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        self.writeNote.delegate = self
}

how to proceed? When using a UITextField I would simply call the delegate for textFieldShouldReturn method but I don't appear to find anything like that for a textView. I can not use a textField because I need a larger amount of rows. The TextView tooltip says "When a user taps a text view, a keyboard appears; when a user taps Return in the keyboard, the keyboard disappears and..." but it doesn't do it by default..

UITextView doesn't have any such direct delegate method to hide the keyboard. You have to work around with the shouldChangeTextInRange: replacementTextmethod. In this method, you can check for a new line character and if you get one, you can resign.

This worked perfectly with the "\n" line, thank you very much! – Gianclaudio Giordano Oct 08 '15 at 14:43
