Similar to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1591738/resignfirstresponder-when-tapping-uitableview">this question</a> I have a custom subclass of UITableViewCell that has a UITextField. Its working fine except the keyboard for doesn't go away when the user touches a different table view cell or something outside the table. I'm trying to figure out the best place to find out when something outside the cell is touched, then I could call resignFirstResponder on the text field. If the UITableViewCell could receive touch events for touches outside of its view then it could just resignFirstResponder itself but I don't see any way to get those events in the cell. EDIT: I tried this (below) in my UITableViewCell subclass but it doesn't work, I think because touchesBegan:withEvent: doesn't get called if the event was handled by a control. I think I need to catch the events before they get send down the responder chain somehow. The solution I'm considering is to add a touchesBegan:withEvent: method to the view controller. There I could send a resignFirstResponder to all tableview cells that are visible except the one that the touch was in (let it get the touch event and handle it itself). Maybe something like this pseudo code: <pre><code>- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event { CGPoint touchPoint = // TBD - may need translate to cell's coordinates for (UITableViewCell* aCell in [theTableView visibleCells]) { if (![aCell pointInside:touchPoint withEvent:event]) { [aCell resignFirstResponder]; } } } </code></pre> I'm not sure if this is the best way to go about this. There doesn't seem to be any way for the tableviewcell itself to receive event notifications for events outside its view. EDIT2: I thought I had an answer (I even posted it as an answer) using hitTest:withEvent: but that didn't work out. It doesn't always get called. :-(

1. COI'm just starting on iPhone dev, but the "standard" way to get the keyboard to go away is to add a blank background behind it and have that receive a touch-up event.

2. COA blank background is not really applicable to a table view. There are other cells in the table view that scroll around. If the user edits text in the top visible cell (which displays the keyboard), then taps a button in the a different visible cell I want the keyboard to go away.

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
