disable gesture recognizer only for particular view

Question

on one viewController i have one mainView, on that view i have one another view (which is known as sidePanel view having frame 0,0,86,420.)I have added tapGesture. Now i want to just enable gesture recognition only for mainView other than sidePanelView. see below image

i want to disable tapGesture for sidePanelView & enable for area other than it. How to do it. (one thing i want to say area other than sidePanelView is parentView of sidePanelView).

Answer 1

You should accept Bharat's answer because that is correct. I only want to illustrate how you do it:

1. Define your view controller as conforming to UIGestureRecognizerDelegate, e.g.:

   @interface ViewController () <UIGestureRecognizerDelegate>
   // the rest of your interface
   @end
   

2. Make sure you set the delegate for the gesture:

   UITapGestureRecognizer *gesture = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleMainTap:)];
   gesture.delegate = self;
   [self.view addGestureRecognizer:gesture];
   

3. Then have and then check to see if the touch takes place for the view in question:

   - (BOOL) gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldReceiveTouch:(UITouch *)touch
   {
       if (CGRectContainsPoint(self.menuView.bounds, [touch locationInView:self.menuView]))
           return NO;
   
       return YES;
   }
