下面是一个基于Jakob Egger最优秀的答案在Swift中实现的扩展:

import UIKit

extension UIResponder {
    // Swift 1.2 finally supports static vars!. If you use 1.1 see: 
    // http://stackoverflow.com/a/24924535/385979
    private weak static var _currentFirstResponder: UIResponder? = nil
    
    public class func currentFirstResponder() -> UIResponder? {
        UIResponder._currentFirstResponder = nil
        UIApplication.sharedApplication().sendAction("findFirstResponder:", to: nil, from: nil, forEvent: nil)
        return UIResponder._currentFirstResponder
    }
    
    internal func findFirstResponder(sender: AnyObject) {
        UIResponder._currentFirstResponder = self
    }
}

斯威夫特4

import UIKit    

extension UIResponder {
    private weak static var _currentFirstResponder: UIResponder? = nil
    
    public static var current: UIResponder? {
        UIResponder._currentFirstResponder = nil
        UIApplication.shared.sendAction(#selector(findFirstResponder(sender:)), to: nil, from: nil, for: nil)
        return UIResponder._currentFirstResponder
    }
    
    @objc internal func findFirstResponder(sender: AnyObject) {
        UIResponder._currentFirstResponder = self
    }
}

遍历可能是第一响应器的视图，并使用- (BOOL)isFirstResponder来确定它们当前是否是。

在我的一个应用程序中，如果用户在后台点击，我经常希望第一响应器辞职。为了这个目的，我在UIView上写了一个category，我在UIWindow上调用它。

下面的代码基于此，应该返回第一个响应器。

@implementation UIView (FindFirstResponder)
- (id)findFirstResponder
{
    if (self.isFirstResponder) {
        return self;        
    }
    for (UIView *subView in self.subviews) {
        id responder = [subView findFirstResponder];
        if (responder) return responder;
    }
    return nil;
}
@end

iOS 7 +

- (id)findFirstResponder
{
    if (self.isFirstResponder) {
        return self;
    }
    for (UIView *subView in self.view.subviews) {
        if ([subView isFirstResponder]) {
            return subView;
        }
    }
    return nil;
}

迅速:

extension UIView {
    var firstResponder: UIView? {
        guard !isFirstResponder else { return self }

        for subview in subviews {
            if let firstResponder = subview.firstResponder {
                return firstResponder
            }
        }

        return nil
    }
}

在Swift中的使用示例:

if let firstResponder = view.window?.firstResponder {
    // do something with `firstResponder`
}

下面的代码可以工作。

- (id)ht_findFirstResponder
{
    //ignore hit test fail view
    if (self.userInteractionEnabled == NO || self.alpha <= 0.01 || self.hidden == YES) {
        return nil;
    }
    if ([self isKindOfClass:[UIControl class]] && [(UIControl *)self isEnabled] == NO) {
        return nil;
    }

    //ignore bound out screen
    if (CGRectIntersectsRect(self.frame, [UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow.bounds) == NO) {
        return nil;
    }

    if ([self isFirstResponder]) {
        return self;
    }

    for (UIView *subView in self.subviews) {
        id result = [subView ht_findFirstResponder];
        if (result) {
            return result;
        }
    }
    return nil;
}   

你可以选择下面的UIView扩展来获得它(credit by Daniel):

extension UIView {
    var firstResponder: UIView? {
        guard !isFirstResponder else { return self }
        return subviews.first(where: {$0.firstResponder != nil })
    }
}

如果你只需要在用户点击背景区域时杀死键盘，为什么不添加一个手势识别器，并使用它来发送[[self view] enditing:YES]消息?

你可以在xib或storyboard文件中添加Tap手势识别器，并将其连接到一个动作，

看起来像这样，然后完成

- (IBAction)displayGestureForTapRecognizer:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)recognizer{
     [[self view] endEditing:YES];
}
