I'm newbie to Swift and trying to drag a UIImageView into UiView, I have three UIViews i have to drag the UIImageView into any three UIViews , not anywhere.
I have tried touchesBegan, touchesEnded method, but drag drop is not on inside this any of 3 UIViews.
Please anyone give me skeleton to drop the UIImageView to anyone of three UIViews,
UIImageView and all UIViews probably share the same superView, if you want to put UIImageView inside of UIView you need to move it. I mean you need to remove it from superView and add it to the view beneath it (if they intersect)
Here's what you're gonna do:
When User touches (pans) the UIImageView, move it to superView (If It's already there, it's ok, if It's in one of UIViews, you need to remove it from them, and add it to superView)
When user touch has ended, UIGestureRecognizer will also inform you about it, at that moment check if there's any UIViews beneath your UIImageView or not, if not do nothing else remove it from superView and add the view beneath it.
There's also a WWDC video which covers advanced touch handling techniques.

Currently having an issue with using auto-layout and UIScrollView. The issue is when I scroll down on the scroll view, a previous UIView (that should be free roaming, and is animated to various positions) gets set back to its initial location where it is located in Storyboard.
What's the best way to make my single UIView not follow the behavior of auto-layout and let it do whatever it wants to do?
Scenario:
There is an UIView as a sub view of a UIScrollView and there is a UIImageView as a sub view of the UIView.
Requirement:
When the user touches on the UIImageView I want to add a UIButton as a sub view at that touch point. Any amount of UIButtons could be added (Within the UIImageView frame). These UIButtons should also be movable inside the UIImageView frame.
What I have done
I have sub classed the UIView and I'm detecting touches using methods touchesBegan, touchesMoved, touchesEnded and adding UIButtons. UIButtons are added with UIGestureRecognizers with a method implemented to the pan gesture.
Problem
When I add more than one button the earlier ones becomes non-movable and doesn't even recognise touch up inside.
Thank you all for the help. I ended up doing this https://github.com/Tulakshana/TTaggableView
You should read about Gesture Recognizers:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/uikit/reference/UIGestureRecognizer_Class/Reference/Reference.html
http://www.raywenderlich.com/6567/uigesturerecognizer-tutorial-in-ios-5-pinches-pans-and-more
Start with UITapGestureRecognizer for showing UIButtons.
I have a small view (View Frame Size : 100,0,20,30), i want to add two gesture recognizer one is UIPanGestureRecognizer and another one is my own custom GesuterRecognizer "CPPinGestureRecognizer".
UIPanGestureRecognizer is used for drag the view in horizontally.
Example: the dragging bounds are :(100,0 to 320, 0)
CPPinGestureRecgonizer is used for enlarge the view in vertically with the same width.
Example: (enlarge view height up to user drag the view)
Now the problem is both gesture are working together and i want to check if the view dragged horizontally means want to fail CPPinGestureRecognizer, if the user dragged vertically means want to fail UIPanGestureRecognizer.
how can i achieve this.
Thanks in advance.
Gesture recognizers can have a delegate (UIGestureRecognizerDelegate), and this protocol has 2 methods: gestureRecognizer:shouldRequireFailureOfGestureRecognizer: and gestureRecognizer:shouldBeRequiredToFailByGestureRecognizer. You can use those to not allow one to be recognized while the other one is currently being recognized.
I have a UIView custom. In this UIView custom, I have a small UIImageView. When I move finger through it, it will move with my finger. To do that, I use UIPanGestureRecognizer (add this gesture to UIImageView). But when I move finger with begining point not in UIImageView, it will not handle this event.
So, my question is "How to get event touch move of UIView when move finger from outside view ?"
Thanks.
Best approach is create a uiview with necessary size(which is larger than uiimageview). Place the uiimageview inside it. Add gesture recognizer to uiview instead of uiimageview. In the delegate method of geature, move the image view.
There is a "Touch Drag Enter" Event which might be what you are looking for.
I have a rotating carousel menu made up of 6 UIViews that were added as subViews to self.view. When you rotate the carousel, some subviews are partially behind the subview closest to the user but the problem is that the subview closest to the user may not have been added after the one behind it so when I touch it, the one behind it gets triggered.
My question is, is there a way to programmatically use bringToFront whenever a subview is touched so that it will not matter whether or not it was added first or last to the view.
When you have 2 views responding to touch events and one is in front of the other, the other one will never receive the touch.
Instead of messing around with the event chain (aka subclassing UIView and overriding hitTest…) I'd suggest you reorder the views while spinning the carousel.
The view which appears to be in front should be the topmost view in the view hierarchy.
