    <p>I just spent most of a day tracking down a very strange case where calling resignFirstResponder on the active UITextField did not hide the keyboard, even though the textfield was the first responder. This happens when I push a view controller on top of another view controller with an active text field. The keyboard goes away (as expected). But if I bring the keyboard back by touching a textfield in the 2nd view controller, subsequent calls to resignFirstResponder have no effect. </p> <p>Here's simple code to reproduce the issue. This code is a view controller with a nav bar button to hide the keyboard, and another to push another copy of itself (with a confirmation UIAlertView). The first copy works without problem. However, if you push a 2nd copy (when the first copy has a visible keyboard) it is impossible to dismiss the keyboard. This only happens if there is a UIAlertView (the confirmation) on the screen when the 2nd copy is pushed. If you remove the <code>#define ALERT</code> line, everything works. </p> <p>Does anyone know what is happening here? It looks like the UIALertView window is somehow interfering with the keyboard and keeping it's window from disappearing, which then confuses the next view. Is there any solution here other than pushing the 2nd view controller on a timer after the UIALertView is gone?</p> <p>Sorry for the complex description. This is runnable code. I hope that the code is clear.</p> <pre><code>@implementation DemoViewController - (id) init { if (!(self = [super init])) return nil; return self; } - (void) dealloc { [_inputTextfield release]; [super dealloc]; } - (void) loadView { UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds]; _inputTextfield = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0., 0., 320., 44.)]; _inputTextfield.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect; _inputTextfield.contentVerticalAlignment = UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentCenter; _inputTextfield.keyboardAppearance = UIKeyboardAppearanceAlert; _inputTextfield.autocapitalizationType = UITextAutocapitalizationTypeNone; _inputTextfield.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo; _inputTextfield.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeDefault; [view addSubview:_inputTextfield]; self.view = view; [view release]; } - (void) viewWillAppear:(BOOL) animated { [super viewWillAppear:animated]; UIButton *downButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom]; [downButton setTitle: @"keyboard down" forState:UIControlStateNormal]; [downButton addTarget:self action:@selector(downButtonPressed:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside]; [downButton sizeToFit]; self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:downButton] autorelease]; UIButton *nextButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom]; [nextButton setTitle: @"next" forState:UIControlStateNormal]; [nextButton addTarget:self action:@selector(nextButtonPressed:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside]; [nextButton sizeToFit]; self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:nextButton] autorelease];; } - (void) viewWillDisappear:(BOOL) animated { [super viewWillDisappear:animated]; [_inputTextfield resignFirstResponder]; } - (void) downButtonPressed:(id)sender { [_inputTextfield resignFirstResponder]; } #define ALERT - (void) alertView:(UIAlertView *) alertView didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger) buttonIndex { if (alertView.cancelButtonIndex == buttonIndex) { return; } [self _nextButtonPressed]; } - (void) _nextButtonPressed { DemoViewController *nextViewController = [[DemoViewController alloc] init]; [self.navigationController pushViewController:nextViewController]; [nextViewController release]; } - (void) nextButtonPressed:(id)sender { #ifdef ALERT UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] init]; alert.message = @"Next view?"; alert.cancelButtonIndex = [alert addButtonWithTitle:@"No"]; [alert addButtonWithTitle:@"Yes"]; alert.delegate = self; [alert show]; [alert release]; #else [self _nextButtonPressed]; #endif } </code></pre>

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
