I have a TextField in SwiftUI that needs to use a different keyboard, depending on the value of an @State variable that is determined by a SegementedControl () picker.

How can I close the keyboard (for example, send an endEditing event) when the user taps another segment? I have to do this because I want to change the keyboard type and if the textField is the responder, the keyboard will not change.

I have this extension:

extension UIApplication {
    func endEditing() {
        sendAction(#selector(UIResponder.resignFirstResponder), to: nil, from: nil, for: nil)
    }
}

And I can do that

UIApplication.shared.endEditing()

But I do not know where or how to call it when the user taps another segment.

I tried to put a tapGesture on the picker and the keyboard closes but the tap is not passed to the picker so it does not change.

Code snippet here:

@State private var type:String = "name"

Form {
    Section(header: Text("Search Type")) {
        Picker("", selection: $type) {
            Text("By Name").tag("name")
            Text("By AppId").tag("id")
        }.pickerStyle(SegmentedPickerStyle())
    }

    Section(header: Text("Enter search value")) {
        TextField(self.searchPlaceHolder, text: $searchValue)
            .keyboardType(self.type == "name" ? UIKeyboardType.alphabet : UIKeyboardType.numberPad)
    }
}
