iOS textFieldShouldReturn not running

Question

I've created this in my .h:

@interface Class : UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate

And then in my .m:

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField {    
if (textField == username) {
    [textField resignFirstResponder];

}else if (textField == password) {
    [textField resignFirstResponder];

}
return YES;
}

but when i try to run some code inside either the if for username or password it never gets run. I've tried to debug it, but when i tap on my text field it just opens the keyboard and it's not debugging. So it seems like textFieldShouldReturn never gets run, why?

Any help is much appreciated.

SOLUTION: Add: username.delegate = password.delegate = self; in your .m file

Answer 1

The purpose of textFieldShouldReturn: method is to determine if the text field should process the pressing of the return button on [virtual] keyboard.

I assume you are looking for textFieldShouldEndEditing: delegate method.

PS. I assume you have set password.delegate = username.delegate = self;
