Hide keyboard when button is pressed

Question

I'm trying to hide my keyboard when a button is pressed. I'm using GCD to simultaneously fetch NSData from a server and show an animation.

The problem is, whenever I press the button the keyboard stays active. I've tried putting the _self.view.endEditing(true) into the GCD function but with no success.

I would greatly appreciate if you would help me with this.

 @IBAction func tragi(sender: UIButton) {



    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) { [weak self] in
        if let _self = self {

             SwiftSpinner.show("Fetching data.....")


            _self.parseJSON2 { (makeModel) in
                print("print this")
            }
        }}

}

Put this on your button click action: yourtextField.resignFirstResponder() — Bhavin Ramani

Yes, I've added it in between @IBAction line and dispatch_async line, — Darko

Please try self.view.endEditing(true)

The above function causes the view (or one of its embedded text fields) to resign the first responder status.

This method looks at the current view and its subview hierarchy for the text field that is currently the first responder. If it finds one, it asks that text field to resign as first responder. If the force parameter is set to true, the text field is never even asked; it is forced to resign.

as per Apple Docs.
