Here is my playground: https://play.nativescript.org/?template=play-ng\u0026id=vLwHYf\u0026v=4\r\n\r\ncode snippet:\r\n\r\n```\r\n \u003cTextField \r\n        (blur)=\"onBlur($event)\" \r\n        returnKeyType=\"done\"\r\n        autocorrect=\"false\" \r\n        autocapitalizationType=\"none\"\u003e\r\n    \u003c/TextField\u003e\r\n\r\npublic onBlur(args) {\r\n    console.log(' on blur '); //this code is not executed\r\n    var myTextField = args.object;\r\n    myTextField.dismissSoftInput();\r\n}\r\n```","author":{"url":"https://github.com/aubrey-fowler","@type":"Person","name":"aubrey-fowler"},"datePublished":"2020-04-16T16:07:21.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/8537/NativeScript/issues/8537"}
