这里是Jakob Egger方法的Swift版本:

import UIKit

private weak var currentFirstResponder: UIResponder?

extension UIResponder {

    static func firstResponder() -> UIResponder? {
        currentFirstResponder = nil
        UIApplication.sharedApplication().sendAction(#selector(self.findFirstResponder(_:)), to: nil, from: nil, forEvent: nil)
        return currentFirstResponder
    }

    func findFirstResponder(sender: AnyObject) {
        currentFirstResponder = self
    }

}

Peter Steinberger刚刚发了关于私有通知UIWindowFirstResponderDidChangeNotification的推特，如果你想观察firstResponder的变化，你可以观察。

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
    }
}

而不是遍历视图集合寻找设置了isFirstResponder的视图，我也将消息发送给nil，但我存储了消息的接收器，以便我可以返回它并对它做任何我想做的事情。

此外，我将在调用本身的deferred语句中保存找到的responder的optional归零。这确保在调用结束时没有引用保留——即使是弱引用。

import UIKit

private var _foundFirstResponder: UIResponder? = nil

extension UIResponder {

    static var first:UIResponder? {

        // Sending an action to 'nil' implicitly sends it to the first responder
        // where we simply capture it and place it in the _foundFirstResponder variable.
        // As such, the variable will contain the current first responder (if any) immediately after this line executes
        UIApplication.shared.sendAction(#selector(UIResponder.storeFirstResponder(_:)), to: nil, from: nil, for: nil)

        // The following 'defer' statement runs *after* this getter returns,
        // thus releasing any strong reference held by the variable immediately thereafter
        defer {
            _foundFirstResponder = nil
        }

        // Return the found first-responder (if any) back to the caller
        return _foundFirstResponder
    }

    // Make sure to mark this with '@objc' since it has to be reachable as a selector for `sendAction`
    @objc func storeFirstResponder(_ sender: AnyObject) {

        // Capture the recipient of this message (self), which is the first responder
        _foundFirstResponder = self
    }
}

有了上面的，我可以通过简单地这样做辞去第一响应者…

UIResponder.first?.resignFirstResponder()

但由于我的API实际上交还了第一个responder是什么，我可以对它做任何我想做的事情。

下面是一个示例，它检查当前的第一个响应器是否是一个带有helpMessage属性设置的UITextField，如果是，则在控件旁边的帮助气泡中显示它。我们通过屏幕上的“Quick Help”按钮来调用它。

func showQuickHelp(){

    if let textField = UIResponder?.first as? UITextField,
       let helpMessage = textField.helpMessage {
    
        textField.showHelpBubble(with:helpMessage)
    }
}

对上述的支持在UITextField上的扩展中定义，就像这样…

extension UITextField {
    var helpMessage:String? { ... }
    func showHelpBubble(with message:String) { ... }
}

现在要支持这个功能，我们所要做的就是决定哪些文本字段有帮助消息，UI会为我们处理其余的事情。

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;
}   

使用Swift和一个特定的UIView对象，这可能会有所帮助:

func findFirstResponder(inView view: UIView) -> UIView? {
    for subView in view.subviews as! [UIView] {
        if subView.isFirstResponder() {
            return subView
        }
        
        if let recursiveSubView = self.findFirstResponder(inView: subView) {
            return recursiveSubView
        }
    }
    
    return nil
}

只需要把它放在你的UIViewController中，然后像这样使用它:

let firstResponder = self.findFirstResponder(inView: self.view)

请注意，结果是一个可选值，所以如果在给定的视图子视图层次结构中没有找到firstResponder，它将为nil。
