UIWebView won't hide keyboard

Question

I need to hide the keyboard as soon as a page starts loading. I've tried all commonly suggested approaches discussed e.g. here

Following approaches have no effect on the keyboard

[webView endEditing:YES];
[webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"document.activeElement.blur();"];
[webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"window.blur();"];

I invoke them in -webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest:navigationType:

What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?

Thanks for your answer. i write this methods

- (BOOL)disablesAutomaticKeyboardDismissal {
  return NO;
}
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event{
    [webView endEditing:YES];
}

works for me

The problem was that UIViewController's returned YES here for UIModalPresentationFormSheet.

- (BOOL)disablesAutomaticKeyboardDismissal {
  return NO;
}

Have a look at that answer.

try

webView.delegate = self;

and inside the -webViewDidFinishLoad: delegate method

[webView resignFirstResponder];

@Erik try your approaches inside delegate methods: - (void)webViewDidStartLoad:(UIWebView *)awebView OR - (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)aWebView instead of you tried earlier – iOS Test Jul 16 '12 at 13:14
