Resign the keyboard no matter where it is in the application. (I usually wrap my utility methods in a C function)
void globalResignKeyboard(void){
UIWindow * window = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow];
for (UIView * view in [window subviews]){
resignKeyboardInSubviewsOfView(view);
}
}
void resignKeyboardInSubviewsOfView(UIView* view){
