Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

Assuming

UITextView *textView;

Then you can dismiss the keyBoard by sending:

[textView resignFirstResponder];

Also: you may prefer to use a UISearchBar and set it as the navigationItem.titleViewof the ViewController. This offers some nice delegate methods.

Thanks for the tip on using a UISearchBar. I will try that. My problem is that I'm not sure how to detect when the user clicks the mapview, so I have nowhere to write that line of code :)

In have added code for getting the touches.

I don't think you can do this! See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1049889/how-to-intercept-touches-events-on-a-mkmapview-or-uiwebview-objects. Let me know if I am misunderstanding. I am looking into overlaying a transparent view over the map when the keyboard is up and getting touches from that (the accepted solution in my link looks overly complex for my purposes).

You seem to be right. A transparent view seems to be a good idea. You should probably also forward all touch events from that view to the mapview. (I removed my wrong code)

OK, great. Things are coming into focus now. Thanks for all the help.
