Hiding the Keyboard when losing focus on a UITextView

Question

So I have a UITextView that I'm using to allow the user to submit some text.

My problem is, I can't seem to figure out how to allow the user to 'Cancel' by tapping away from the UITextView.

My way to do it...

Add a reference to the TextView in the @interface of your ViewController:
```
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextView *yourTextView;
```

Override this method in the @implementation of your ViewController:

- (void)scrollViewWillBeginDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView
{
    if ([self.yourTextView isFirstResponder]) {
      [self.yourTextView resignFirstResponder];
    }
}
