Dismissing the keyboard in a UIScrollView

Here is the cleanest way to achieve this in iOS 7.0 and above.

scrollView.keyboardDismissMode = UIScrollViewKeyboardDismissModeOnDrag;

Or

scrollView.keyboardDismissMode = UIScrollViewKeyboardDismissModeInteractive;

In Swift:

scrollView.keyboardDismissMode = .onDrag

Or

scrollView.keyboardDismissMode = .interactive

Bit late but if anyone else is searching an answer to this problem, this is how I have gone about solving it:

1) Create a tap gesture recognizer with a target callback method to dismiss your keyboard using resignFirstResponder on all your fields.

2) Add the tap gesture to the scrollview.

Here's an example:

UITapGestureRecognizer *tapGesture = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(hideKeyboard)];// prevents the scroll view from swallowing up the touch event of child buttonstapGesture.cancelsTouchesInView = NO;    [pageScrollView addGestureRecognizer:tapGesture];[tapGesture release];...// method to hide keyboard when user taps on a scrollview-(void)hideKeyboard{    [myTextFieldInScrollView resignFirstResponder];}

Although the essence is the same, I prefer less code.

Setting the keyboard to disappear when the scrollView is scrolled in Attributes inspector:

Then disappear keyboard when scrollView is tapped:

1. Drag a Tap Gesture Recognizer onto your scrollView
2. 
3. 
4. Only one line in the action —— scrollView.endEditing(true). If you are using Objective-C, [self.scrollView endEditing: YES];
