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;
}
}
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.
- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldReceiveTouch:(UITouch *)touch {
// Disallow recognition of tap gestures in the segmented control.
if ((touch.view == yourButton)) {//change it to your condition
return NO;
}
return YES;
}
hope it will help
Edit
As Daniel noted you must conform to UIGestureRecognizerDelegate
for it to work.
