ios - UITextView adding new line unintentionally?

Question

I have a scroll view which contains a UITextField and a UITextView. The UITextField return key is "Next" and when this is pressed I call [myTextView becomeFirstResponder]; A random new line is inserted into my textview so I start on the second line. How do I avoid this?

Also important to note that this does not happen when I tap directly on the UITextView rather than tapping the next key.

Thanks in advance!

One solution to solve this is when you implement the textFieldShouldReturn: delegate method, be sure to return NO, and not YES. By returning NO, the newline isn't passed on to the text field.

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField {
    // move to next field or whatever you need
    [myTextView becomeFirstResponder];

    return NO;
}
