Xcode 6.3. Within a class implementing UITextFieldDelegate protocol, I would like to override touchesBegan() method to possibly hide the keyboard. If I avoid a compiler error in the function spec, then there is a complier error trying to read the "touch" from the Set or NSSet, or else the super.touchesBegan(touches , withEvent:event) throws an error. One of these combinations compiled in Xcode 6.2! (So where is documentation to Swift "Set" and how to get an element from one?)
override func touchesBegan(touches: NSSet, withEvent event: UIEvent) {
// Hiding the Keyboard when the User Taps the Background
if let touch = touches.anyObject() as? UITouch {
if nameTF.isFirstResponder() && touch.view != nameTF {
nameTF.resignFirstResponder();
}
}
super.touchesBegan(touches , withEvent:event)
}
Try:
override func touchesBegan(touches: NSSet, withEvent event: UIEvent) or
override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent)
Compiler error: Overriding method with selector 'touchesBegan:withEvent:' has incompatible type '(NSSet, UIEvent) -> ()' and
super.touchesBegan(touches , withEvent:event)
also complains
'NSSet' is not implicitly convertible to 'Set'; did you mean to use 'as' to explicitly convert?
Try:
override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<AnyObject>, withEvent event: UIEvent)
Compiler error: Type 'AnyObject' does not conform to protocol 'Hashable'
Try:
override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<NSObject>, withEvent event: UIEvent)
Compiler error at
if let touch = touches.anyObject() as? UITouch
'Set' does not have a member named 'anyObject' BUT the function spec and call to super() are OK!
Try:
override func touchesBegan(touches: NSSet<AnyObject>, withEvent event: UIEvent) -> () or
override func touchesBegan(touches: NSSet<NSObject>, withEvent event: UIEvent)
Compiler error: Cannot specialize non-generic type 'NSSet'
