Dismissing the keyboard in a UIScrollView

Question

Alright, I have a couple of UITextFields and UITextViews inside a UIScrollView, and I\'d like to set the keyboard to disappear wheneve

In Swift:

Bit late but if anyone else is searching an answer to this problem, this is how I have gone about solving it:

1) Create a tap gesture recognizer with a target callback method to dismiss your keyboard using resignFirstResponder on all your fields.

2) Add the tap gesture to the scrollview.

Here's an example:

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet var t1: UITextField!
    @IBOutlet var t2: UITextField!
    @IBOutlet var t3: UITextField!
    @IBOutlet var t4: UITextField!

    @IBOutlet var srcScrollView: UIScrollView!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

        let tapGesture: UITapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "hideKeyboard")

        // prevents the scroll view from swallowing up the touch event of child buttons
        tapGesture.cancelsTouchesInView = false

        srcScrollView.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture)
    }

    func hideKeyboard() {
        t1.resignFirstResponder()
        t2.resignFirstResponder()
        t3.resignFirstResponder()
        t4.resignFirstResponder()
    }
}
