for tableView you can all the same method in didSelectRow method

Solution 2

Here's a pretty elegant solution of this task:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    UITapGestureRecognizer *tap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(dismissKeyboard)];
    [self.view addGestureRecognizer:tap];
}
- (void)dismissKeyboard
{
   [searchBar resignFirstResponder];
}

Solution 3

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {

// dismiss keyboard through `resignFirstResponder`

}

from which method I can resign first responder

[Ankit Sachan]

control is not going to this method itself, tried putting break point in this

Is the view a viewController's view?

I think the tableview cells are absorbing the touch.

[visakh7]

did u try this method in the class of the custom table view?

This doesn't work if you are tapping inside a UIScrollView. For that case you should subclass UIScrollView and override the - (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event method and resignFirstResponder on whatever the first responder is.
