In my iOS app I have an instance of an MKMapView and on single tap, I want to add a marker to the map. I've added a UITapGestureRecognizer and immediately noticed that it would fire even when a user double taps to zoom (or other interactions with the map).
I've implemented the UIGestureRecognizerDelegate method like this and this works, but makes the interaction very sluggish, because it obviously waits for the other gesture recognizers to fail.
func gestureRecognizer(
_ gestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer,
shouldRequireFailureOf otherGestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer
) -> Bool {
guard gestureRecognizer == self.mapGestureRecognizer else {
return false
}
return !(otherGestureRecognizer is UITapGestureRecognizer) && otherGestureRecognizer.state == .possible
}
Is there any way to act quickly on a tap, without breaking the native gestures on the map view?
Not sure there is a direct solution to this as the mapView can't know if your tap is part of another gesture until it's waited to check. My usual workaround for this is to use a long tap for adding markers to the map as this is a discrete event

I have the following case. parentView has it's own gestureRecognizerAand has a subview subView which has it's own UITapGestureRecognizer.
Is there any way to tell parentView that it should pass the touch events recognized in gestureRecognizerA to subView if these touch events are in subView's bounds?
gestureRecognizerA is very specific. It is a custom gesture recognizer for recognizing a circlular motion. This recognition should happen on all areas of parentView. However, when that same gesture recognizer recognizes a tap, it should pass that tap to subView.
You can easily identify the points of tap.
As for example you have a tap gesture in parent class as:
let tapGR = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(tapped))
view.addGestureRecognizer(tapGR)
#objc func tapped(gr:UITapGestureRecognizer) {
let loc:CGPoint = gr.location(in: gr.view)
//insert your touch based code here
}
Inside the tapped method you can identify the location where tap happened, so after checking bounds of the subview with location of tap you can verify is the tap happened inside the bounds of subview or not.
It seems like you just want both of those gesture recognizers to work simultaneously. Just implement UIGestureRecognizerDelegate for your parentView and make it tapGestureRecognizer's and gestureRecognizerA's delegate. Then implement an optional method there:
// MARK: - UIGestureRecognizerDelegate
func gestureRecognizer(_ gestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer, shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWith otherGestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer) {
return true
}
That might be able to detect a tap in subView even while doing a circular motion within parentView.
UPDATE: When using gesture recognizers, "forwarding touches" would be to simply calling a method of another recognizer. Just put a recognizer which is doing the forwarding as its parameter.
For instance, tapGestureRecognizer fires viewWasTapped(_ sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) when a tap is detected. Now, when your gestureRecognizerA wants to forward its events to tapGestureRecognizer, it simply does so by calling:
subView.viewWasTapped(self.gestureRecognizerA)
With an obvious change to the method itself:
func viewWasTapped(_ sender: UIGestureRecognizer) {
// ...
}
This works for UITapGestureRecognizer. The sender can be any other UIGestureRecognizer and you'd still have almost all the information to resolve a tap gesture there.
I am using three gesture named Pan, Pinch and Rotate. I want To use Pinch and Rotate gesture together and Pan separate. I am using gestureDelegate method like below :
func gestureRecognizer(_: UIGestureRecognizer,
shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer:UIGestureRecognizer) -> Bool
{
return true
}
But it runs thrice. I want two Simultaneously.
If you have implemented this single method shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer of UIGestureRecognizerDelegate than simply remove the delegate of UIPanGestureRecognizer or could not set it.
The goal is to implement two pan gestures against the same SCNScene: one with one finger and the other with two fingers.
This code below isn't working. The one-finger pan function never gets invoked even though the gesture is assigned a distinct selector. One-finger pans and two-finger pans both invoke sceneViewPannedTwoFingers.
From reading other questions it seemed like shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer might be the answer, but these pans are not happening simultaneously. It should be either a one-finger pan or a two-finger pan, never both at once.
Is it possible to have two pan gestures as described above? If so, what's the right way to do this?
// Handle one-finger pans
let panRecognizer = UIPanGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(sceneViewPannedOneFinger))
sceneView.addGestureRecognizer(panRecognizer)
// Handle two-finger pans
let twoFingerPanRecognizer = UIPanGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(sceneViewPannedTwoFingers))
sceneView.addGestureRecognizer(twoFingerPanRecognizer)
func sceneViewPannedTwoFingers(sender: UIPanGestureRecognizer) {
print("two finger pan!!!")
}
func sceneViewPannedOneFinger(sender: UIPanGestureRecognizer) {
print("one finger pan!!!")
}
You need to add UIGestureRecognizerDelegate to your view controller and set the gesture recognizers delegate to self inside your view controller. Add the shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer method returning true for them. Make sure you set minimum and maximum number of touches also for them.
code like this
class MyClass : UIGestureRecognizerDelegate --< Delegate
func gestureRecognizer(_: UIGestureRecognizer,
shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer:UIGestureRecognizer) -> Bool
{
return true
}
I am a beginner in Swift, and am trying to add a swipe gesture recognizer to my UIView. I have inserted a gradient CALayer to index 0 to have a gradient background.
My problem is:
Swipe gestures for right and left work fine, but for Down it doesn't work, why?
Set the delegate of swipe gestures that you are adding to the view.
let swipeGesture = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector("handleSwipe:"))
swipeGesture.delegate = self
self.view.addGestureRecognizer(swipeGesture)
self.mySwipeGesture = swipeGesture
GestureRecognizerDelegate asks if two gesture recognizers should be allowed to recognize gestures simultaneously. Return true to allow both gestureRecognizer and otherGestureRecognizer to recognize their gestures simultaneously. The default implementation returns false—no two gestures can be recognized simultaneously. Implement the following delegate to achieve this.
extension ViewController : UIGestureRecognizerDelegate {
func gestureRecognizer(gestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer, shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer otherGestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer) -> Bool {
//Identify gesture recognizer and return true else false.
return gestureRecognizer.isEqual(self.mySwipeGesture) ? true : false
}
}
Swiping Up & Down are the default property of table view. I would suggest you to disable the scrolling of the table view whenever you want to do something on the overlay.
tableView.scrollEnabled = NO;
If you are performing dragging of a particular cell then long press on it and then start dragging.
This is how you can achieve this.
Hope this helps.
I'm creating a view where its subviews can be re-arranged with drag and drop, after activating the "edition mode" via a long tap.
I use for that two gesture reconizer a UILongPressGestureRecognizer and a UIPanGestureRecognizer.
Everything works great, but i wanna be able to start dragging my subviews without having to tap again on my view (like when you re-arrange your icon on the springboard).
Is there any way to do such a thing ?
EDIT :
I've tried :
func gestureRecognizer(gestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer, shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer otherGestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer) -> Bool {
var res = false
if ((gestureRecognizer == longTapGesture && otherGestureRecognizer == panGesture) || (gestureRecognizer == panGesture && otherGestureRecognizer == panGesture)) {
res = true
println("🐷")
}
return true
}
without success.
First of all those 2 gesture recognizers should work nicely together. Normally one of them would cancel the other one. To prevent that you can use UIGestureRecognizerDelegate method gestureRecognizer: shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer: and return YES for both recognizers.
After that you need to have a boolean property to lock your pan effect before long press occurs. UILongPressGestureRecognizer target method should only perform something if this property is set to YES. Remember to set this property to NO, when pan gesture finishes/resets.
