Tap on UITextField's clear button hides keyboard instead of clearing text

Question

In iPhone, I have a view which has a UITextField. When I tap on the clear button of UITextField\'s the keyboard dismissed instead of clearing the text

Answer 1

First, check all the code blocks that related to your UITextField (especially the code yourTextField.hidden = YES;)

Put break points and analyze every UITextField delegates that you implemented.

(textFieldDidEndEditing,textFieldShouldEndEditing,textFieldShouldReturn.etc.)

OR

Implement the textFieldShouldClear delegate and write the code here to visible and clear your UITextField

To do this, you have to set the clearButtonMode as below,

yourTextField.clearButtonMode = UITextFieldViewModeWhileEditing;
yourTextField.delegate = self;

//For active keyboard again
[yourTextField becomeFirstResponder];

Then implement the textFieldShouldClear delegate

YourClass.h

    @interface className : UIViewController 

YourClass.m

-(BOOL)textFieldShouldClear:(UITextField *)textField {
    yourTextField.hidden = NO;
    yourTextField.text = @"";
    return YES;
}
