First of all, I have open the image's User Interaction Enabled.
But why I can't drag the gesture ?
The gestureRecognizers in Outlet Collections is a outlet to the gesture recognizers of that view, not an action of its gesture recognizers.
What you need to do is adding a gesture recognizer to the image view by dragging one from the Object Library and adding its action
You can drag the gesture like this:
Drag a TapGesture Recognizer to the ViewController in storyboard:
You should write a IBAction method in the ViewController.m:
```
-(IBAction)tapGesture:(id)sender {
}
```
Drag the TapGesture Recognizer to ViewController, then choose the delegate and the tapGesture: method:
Then you can drag the imageView's gestureRecognizers to the gesture:
The function you write in ViewController.m is what you want.

How to have single tap gesture to multiple Views using storyboard.
I drag 3 views and one tap gesture into UIView class.
Contacted three view to tap gesture and added action class handleGesture Method on tap on any one the tree view it should trigger the method action.
using story board.
But i want to do it with single tap gesture is it possible or not.
try with this, define a variable UITapGestureRecognizer with your method, after that, in a method or wherever you want, you can add this gesture to your multiple views
var recognizerMovements: UITapGestureRecognizer {
get { UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.myActionMethod)) }
}
self.myFirstView.addGestureRecognizer(myActionMethod)
self.mySecondView.addGestureRecognizer(myActionMethod)
I have an image and in the storyboard I've dragged a Tap Gesture Recognizer on top of this image and changed the settings:
For my TGR:
For my image:
How do I hook this up to my controller now? I want a method to fire off when the double tap happens. Is there some sort of protocol I have to conform to? Do people normally do this from the storyboard or programmatically in viewDidLoad? I don't mind doing it another way if that's the general trend of things.
connect the gesture recognizer as a outlet to your ViewController and in your viewDidLoad :
[self.yourGesture addTarget:self action:#selector(didTapOnImage:)] ;
and then declare your method didTapOnImage method :
-(void)didTapOnImage:(UIGestureRecognizer*) recognizer
{
//do your work here
}
I have added a subview to a View Controller's view. This subview is the view of QLPreviewController.
What I am trying to achieve is to recognize swipe gestures on the subview in the parent view, i.e. the View Controller's view. In the end, I want to be able to swipe left /right on the view to load the next document for preview.
I'm aware of hit testing and understand that by just attaching a gesture recognizer to the parent view, those will not be recognized, since the subview will be the "hit-test" view.
Now what is the best (or easiest) way to recognize those gestures?
Note: I didn't manage to attach the gesture recognizers to the subview, this doesn't seem to work.
* UPDATE *
To make this more clear - this is the code from my ViewController. vContent is just a view in my ViewController, where I add the view of the QLPreviewController:
let pvVc = QLPreviewController()
pvVc.dataSource = self
vContent.addSubview(pvVc.view)
I tried adding the swipe recognizers both to the vContent and the pvVc.view. In both cases no event was fired.
let sgrLeft: UISwipeGestureRecognizer = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: self, action:Selector("handleSwipe:"))
sgrLeft.direction = UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirection.Left
sgrLeft.delegate = self
On some other view the code works fine.
Any hint is appreciated!
Thx

Well, the responder chain, the unknown animal … ;-)
You can subclass the superview and override -hitTest:forEvent:.
You rarely need to call this method yourself, but you might override it to hide touch events from subviews.
Gesture Recognizers Get the First Opportunity to Recognize a Touch, so even the subview is hitTest view. the gestureRecognizer attached on superView can recognizer touch event.
I have a programatically created UILabel that uses autolayout inside a UIView, inside a UIScrollView. Initially it is off-screen and then slides onto screen (by animating the change of the autolayout constraint constants). I am trying to add a gesture recognizer (single tap) to the UILabel but the gesture never gets recognized. If I add one to the UIView, the gesture recognizer works. Does anyone know what the solution to this would be? Is this a problem caused by autolayout?
Thanks.
EDIT
This is definitely to do with the scrollview swallowing touches. I've just created the same label outside of the scrollview and the gesture recogniser works fine!
EDIT 2
I can create the label within the scroll view using Interface Builder, but programmatically it doesn't work...
You have to check User Interaction Enabled in the UILabel
If you are adding a UITapGestureRecognizer programmatically:
In viewDidLoad i added the following code:
let gesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector("myaction"))
self.label.addGestureRecognizer(gesture)
with the selector:
func myaction() {
println("Label tapped")
}
where self.label is the reference outlet of the label being tapped.
Turns out the label was embedded within 2 views, within the view in the scrollview. Taking it out of this seemed to solve them problem...
I've a view controller with UISegmentedControl and UITableView as its children. In -viewDidLoad I create a UITapGestureRecognizer and add it to the controller's main view.
When I tap on, for instance, a cell of the table view, the tap gesture recognizer's action is being called and it prevents receiving touches to the table view (that's ok as tapRecognizer.cancelsTouchesInView == YES).
However, the issue is that when I tap on the segmented control, the tap gesture recognizer's action is not being called. Why is it so? How to make the tap gesture recognizer the "top" object which handles touches?
Thanks,
Adam
