Tap Gesture not working for custom view in swift - ios

Question

I have a circleButton, and adding a gesture recognizer to it is not working. circleButton is a UIView.
#IBOutlet private weak var circleButton: UIView!
Here is my code:
class CustomBottomBar: UIView {
#IBOutlet private weak var circleButton: UIView!
#IBOutlet private weak var bottomBarView: UIView!
#IBOutlet private weak var contentView: UIView!
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
commonInit()
}
override func layoutSubviews() {
super.layoutSubviews()
circleButton.layer.borderColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
circleButton.layer.borderWidth = 2
}
required init?(coder: NSCoder) {
super.init(coder: coder)
commonInit()
}
#objc func onAddButtonClicked() {
print("add")
}
private func commonInit() {
if let customBar = Bundle.main.loadNibNamed("CustomBottomBar", owner: self, options: nil)?[0] as? UIView {
customBar.frame = bounds
addSubview(customBar)
circleButton.layer.cornerRadius = circleButton.frame.height/2
circleButton.clipsToBounds = true
circleButton.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
print(self.circleButton.frame.size)
print(self.contentView.frame.size)
let tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(onAddButtonClicked))
circleButton.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture)
}
}
}
The frame size is also coming properly for circleButton. Not sure what is the problem. I am using customBottomBar in a storyboard. Here is the full code :

Answer 1

Inside your Main.storyboard give a height constraint to your bottom Bar as you only set leading , trailing and bottom or do this inside commonInit
// 70 (Bottom bar) + 80/2 (half of circle button) = 110
heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 110).isActive = true
As the base for responding to any click is the frame and the main parent view of the button has zero height
