dismiss keyboard from all view hierarchy programmatically in swift

I have view controller like screenshot below.

When I touch textfield, the keyboard shows up. I want to dismiss keyboard when I tap,drag on any screen.

I tried to put this code in viewcontroller, but doesn't work.

    func dismissKey() {
    let tap: UITapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer( target: self, action: #selector(dismissKeyboard))
    tap.cancelsTouchesInView = false
    addGestureRecognizer(tap)
}

@objc func dismissKeyboard() {
    endEditing(true)
    resignFirstResponder()
}

but if I put this code in custom cell class type 1 ,it dismisses keyboard only when I tap on this cell.

how can I dismiss keyboard when I touch on any screen?

enter image description here

Solution

  • If you're trying to dismiss keyboard in UIViewController try:

    @objc func dismissKeyboard() {
    view.endEditing(true)
    resignFirstResponder()
}
