iPhone Settings app and keyboard control?

Question

So I'm putting my app's preference settings into the Settings app. One of the settings is an edit text field (PSTextFieldSpecifier). When touched, the keyboard dutifully appears, I can make the edits, but when I press Return....nothing. Well, the editing is completed, but the keyboard remains. I see no way to make the keyboard go away.

I also notice this same behavior in other Settings panes, including those from Apple. Do I assume correctly that this is just standard behavior and I need to just accept the fact that my Settings table has now been reduced to half size, and just deal?

Furthermore, I gather there is no approved way to have a "rich" child pane display, such as that seen in Settings->General->About->Legal? Or a way to do what appears to be a -presentModalViewController, a la Settings->General->Passcode Lock?

Answer 1

You need to a call to resignFirstResponder ... e.g.

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField*)tf
{
    [tf resignFirstResponder];
    return YES;
}

Answer 2

Unfortunately you have to deal with it. And there's nothing you can do in code, at least for now.

That's a bug that hasn't been fixed for a while. You should fill out a bug report.
