I think you're using the wrong method ... textFieldDoneEditing fires when a control loses focus, not when the "return" key gets tapped.
Try implementing optional func textFieldShouldReturn(_ *textField*: UITextField <https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UITextField_Class/index.html#//apple_ref/swift/cl/c:objc%28cs%29UITextField>) -> Bool <https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Swift/Reference/Swift_Bool_Structure/index.html#//apple_ref/swift/struct/s:Sb> https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UITextFieldDelegate_Protocol/#//apple_ref/occ/intfm/UITextFieldDelegate/textFieldShouldReturn : Thanks, -Luther On Mon, Jul 4, 2016 at 2:17 PM, William Squires <wsqui...@satx.rr.com> wrote: > When making any iOS application project (Xcode 7.something, on 10.11.5, > base SDK = iOS 9) that uses a UITextField control, I can't get the "return" > button to work. > > I've tried attaching an IBAction by Ctrl-dragging from the control to the > .swift file for the view controller, naming the action, and selecting > "Action" (instead of "outlet"), and it creates the action method as below: > > @IBAction func textFieldDoneEditing(sender: UITextField) { > print("textFileDoneEditing:") > sender.resignFirstResponder() > } > > I've verified that the connection is valid.
