Best way to dismiss the keyboard in UITextView?

Question

UITextView is multiline. So I can't use the DONE button to dismiss the keyboard. Now what's best practise? Add a navigation bar or toolbar on top and then put an DONE button in there?

Answer 1

A button on top is common.

You have to ask yourself what the user can and want to do next.

• Are there more fields to be filled out. Then it would be a "next" (and/or "previous") button on the top
• Does the user just like to consider the input "done" and so does use the "back" button to go where he came from
• Is there another next view (and not other UITextFields in this view) then you may have a "Submit" button or something like this
