Dismissing Keyboard on iOS Simulator.

Hey guys.

So I am currently working on an App for the iPhone and when I click on the text field to type in what I want the keyboard comes up but then once its there I cannot get it to go away.

I have tried setting the return key to "Done" in the attribute inspector but that button doesn't appear on the keyboard and I cannot seem to figure out why it isn't working.

Any help would be much appreciated guys!

-Luke

It will just hide the keyboard.

If you want to hide the keyboard on your app after a tap just do this :

   override func touchesBegan(touches: NSSet, withEvent event: UIEvent) {
    yourTextField.resignFirstResponder()
   }

In the viewDidLod :

 yourTextField.delegate = self

What does this shortcut do?

Also, will this allow the keyboard to be dismissed in the app on an actual device?
