I have a view hierarchy that looks something like this:
UIView (A)
UIView > UIImageView
UIView > UIView (B)
UIView > UIView (B) > Rounded Rect Button
UIView > UIView (B) > UIImageView
UIView > UIView (B) > UILabel
I've attached gesture recognizer(s) to my UIView (B). The problem that i'm facing is that i don't get any actions for the Rounded Rect Button which is inside the UIView (B). The singleTap gesture recognizer captures/overrides the button's Touch Up Inside event.
How can i make it work? I thought that the responder chain hierarchy will make sure that the button touch event will be given preference, and it WILL get triggered! What am i missing?
Here's some related code:
#pragma mark -
#pragma mark View lifecycle (Gesture recognizer setup)
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// double tap gesture recognizer
UITapGestureRecognizer *dtapGestureRecognize = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(doubleTapGestureRecognizer:)];
dtapGestureRecognize.delegate = self;
dtapGestureRecognize.numberOfTapsRequired = 2;
[self.viewB addGestureRecognizer:dtapGestureRecognize];
// single tap gesture recognizer
UITapGestureRecognizer *tapGestureRecognize = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(singleTapGestureRecognizer:)];
tapGestureRecognize.delegate = self;
tapGestureRecognize.numberOfTapsRequired = 1;
[tapGestureRecognize requireGestureRecognizerToFail:dtapGestureRecognize];
[self.viewB addGestureRecognizer:tapGestureRecognize];
// add gesture recodgnizer to the grid view to start the edit mode
UILongPressGestureRecognizer *pahGestureRecognizer = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(longPressGestureRecognizerStateChanged:)];
pahGestureRecognizer.delegate = self;
pahGestureRecognizer.minimumPressDuration = 0.5;
[self.viewB addGestureRecognizer:pahGestureRecognizer];
[dtapGestureRecognize release];
[tapGestureRecognize release];
[pahGestureRecognizer release];
}
#pragma mark -
#pragma mark Button actions
- (IBAction)buttonTouchUpInside:(id)sender {
NSLog(@"%s, %@", __FUNCTION__, sender);
}
#pragma mark -
#pragma mark Gesture recognizer actions
- (void)singleTapGestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer {
NSLog(@"%s", __FUNCTION__);
}
- (void)doubleTapGestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer {
NSLog(@"%s", __FUNCTION__);
}
- (void)longPressGestureRecognizerStateChanged:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer {
switch (gestureRecognizer.state) {
case UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded: {
NSLog(@"%s", __FUNCTION__);
break;
}
default:
break;
}
}
Best Answer
In the "shouldReceiveTouch" method you should add a condition that will return NO if the touch is in the button.
This is from apple SimpleGestureRecognizers example.
hope it will help
Edit
As Daniel noted you must conform to
UIGestureRecognizerDelegate
for it to work.shani
