I've the following code to add a gesture recognizer to a UILabel. User Interaction Enabled is ticked on for the label in the storyboard, but when I tap on the label the onUserClickingSendToken method is not being called.
class ViewController: UIViewController, MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var tokenDisplay: UILabel!
var tapGestureRecognizer:UITapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target:self, action: #selector(onUserClickingSendToken(_:)))
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
tapGestureRecognizer.numberOfTapsRequired = 1
tokenDisplay.addGestureRecognizer(tapGestureRecognizer)
}
func onUserClickingSendToken(_ sender: Any)
{
....
Initializing the tapRecognizer in viewDidLoad should do it, cause you were targeting self before the view was initialized
class ViewController: UIViewController, MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var tokenDisplay: UILabel!
var tapGestureRecognizer:UITapGestureRecognizer!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
tapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target:self, action: #selector(onUserClickingSendToken(_:)))
tapGestureRecognizer.numberOfTapsRequired = 1
tokenDisplay.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
tokenDisplay.addGestureRecognizer(tapGestureRecognizer)
}
#objc func onUserClickingSendToken(_ sender: Any)
{
....
In general for UILabel clickable issue:
There are couple of reasons why your UILabel will not work as clickable
Make sure to mark UILabel UserInteraction true and if yourLabel is inside other view than mark that view UserInteraction true too.
yourLabel.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
Assigning self to target before the view initialisation, move your code inside viewDidLoad/awakeFromNib or after view Load
let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(onClickLabel(_:)))
self.yourLabel.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
If you are adding UILabel programmatically, than you have to assign it's frame too.
yourLabel.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 300, height: 20)
Super view in which your UILabel is should be large enough to fit/display label properly, if your label is inside some view than that view's height/weight should assign in a way that it cover the whole UILabel frame.
In my case this was the problem I had, I tried so many thing but at last it turns out that the view in which I had my label had fixed width, the label was displaying properly but onClick event was't working due to out of frame.
It was missing UILabel's trailing constraints, so half of the thing is not clickable.
Using same tab gesture for multiple view, you cannot use one tab gesture for more than one view or labels,use different for each UILabel.
try this:
let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(onClickLabel(_:)))
self.yourLabel.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
self.yourLabel.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
let tap2 = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(onClickLabel(_:)))
self.someView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
self.someView.addGestureRecognizer(tap2)
instead of this:
let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(onClickLabel(_:)))
self.yourLabel.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
self.yourLabel.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
self.someView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
self.someView.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
// tapGesture will work on only one element
Try changing your selector setup to:
#selector(ViewController .onUserClickingSendToken(_:).

i used default keyboard and custom keyboard
if textview touch event when custom keyboard is showing, change to default keyboard
class ReplyPage: UIViewController ,UITextViewDelegate,EmojiKeyboardDelegate,UIGestureRecognizerDelegate{
#IBOutlet weak var replyArea: UITextView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
replyArea.delegate=self
emojiView.delegate = self
replyPage = self
let tapTerm = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(textViewTouch))
tapTerm.delegate = self
replyArea.addGestureRecognizer(tapTerm)
more code...
}
#objc func textViewTouch(){
if isEmoji{
replyArea.inputView = nil
replyArea.reloadInputViews()
isEmoji = false
emojiButton.setImage(UIImage(named:"emoji"), for: UIControlState.normal)
}else{
replyArea.reloadInputViews()
replyArea.becomeFirstResponder()
}
}
}
this code is worked
but can't move cursor in textview
default tab is move cursor
but UITapGesture override this so can't work
how to use Both default tab and UITapGesture
Can i Listen Textview Touch without UITapGesture?
can't textViewDidBeginEditing()
TextView Tap do not call textViewDidBeginEditing after first open custom keyboard.
because First Custom Keyboard Open already call textViewDidBeginEditing
Please add protocol TextViewDelegate in your viewController .
And add
self.replyArea.delegate = self
I have a viewController EditMessage which has two UITextFields (UITextView) which use the keyboard and they work great. This part is basic standard stuff. When the keyboard is displayed, I register a tag gesture for the entire view, so that if the user clicks anywhere else, I dismiss the keyboard:
self.view.addGestureRecognizer(UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self,
action: #selector(dismissKeyboard)))
In dismissKeyboard, this all works fine:
#objc func dismissKeyboard(sender: Any) {
self.view.endEditing(true)
}
However, I have a menu button(thumbnail image) implemented as a child view controller (UIViewController) on the same EditMessage view, which hijacks the screen via UIApplication.shared.keyWindow() to display an overlay and menu on the bottom of the screen. Built using the model/code from Brian Voong's YouTube channel to replicate a YouTube style slide in menu from the bottom. However, the keyboard is in the way. Since the child is a different view controller "endEditing" doesn't work (or maybe I am referencing the wrong view?).
class ButtonPickerController : UIViewController,
UIGestureRecognizerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate {
var maxSize = CGFloat(60)
let thumbnail: UIImageView = {
let thumbnail = UIImageView()
thumbnail.backgroundColor = UIColor.lightGray
return thumbnail
}()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.buttonTapped(sender:)))
tap.delegate = self
view.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
//view.backgroundColor = .yellow
view.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit
thumbnail.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: self.maxSize, height: self.maxSize)
setupSubviews()
}
Can someone point me in a good direction? This is my first question so hopefully I am asking properly.
I figured it out in the end. Thank you for the help. In my child view controller I did used the following statement when the button was tapped:
#objc func buttonTapped(sender: UITapGestureRecognizer? = nil) {
self.parent!.view.endEditing(true)
}
First, its not a good way to present overlays as UIViewController.
But a solution good be, to give the second viewcontroller a reference to the first one before viewDidLoad is called. Do you use Segues ? So in prepare would be the right place. In the second viewcontroller you create a property for the first one and then use this property as target when you create the UITapGestureRecognizer.
Another way is using a protocol and delegation.
I have an image view on scroll view. I added more than one sub views on image view.
->UIScrollView
-->UIImageView
--->UIViews
I want to add gesture recognizer to subviews. But It doesn't work. Where is my mistake? function handleTap() not triggered.
func addSubViewOnImageView(mPoint:CGPoint, mSize: CGSize){
let rect = CGRect(origin: mPoint, size: mSize)
let sView = UIView(frame: rect)
sView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.handleTap(_:)))
tap.delegate = self
sView.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
imageView.addSubview(sView)
}
#objc func handleTap(_ sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
print("tapped any sub view")
}
This property is inherited from the UIView parent class. This class changes the default value of this property to NO.
enable the user interaction for your imageview, by default its false , for more info you get the info from apple document
imageView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
just check
yourImageView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
is there or not?
An Alternate if you don't want to do
yourImageView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
Just make your UIView class a subclass of UIControl from storyboard refer from screenshot.
it will act as an UIButton no need to write the code for adding an tap gesturejust add an action and likenormally we do for UIImageView`
I added a label and an image to the navigation item title view, like this - https://stackoverflow.com/a/38548905/1373592
And I added these three lines of code, to make the title clickable.
....
let recognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(MyViewController.titleTapped(_:)))
navView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
navView.addGestureRecognizer(recognizer)
And this titleTapped function.
#objc func titleTapped(_ tapGestureRecognizer: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
print("Tapped")
}
What am I doing wrong?
I tried adding gesture recognizer to the label, and to the image (separately). That didn't work either.
Thanks.
Your NavView has no frame, so there is nothing "there" to tap.
Add this line:
// Create a navView to add to the navigation bar
let navView = UIView()
// new line
navView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 200, height: 40)
// Create the label
let label = UILabel()
and you should be on your way.
100% sure working in my app and well tested.
var tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer()
take your view and set IBOutlet like:
#IBOutlet weak var viewTap: UIView!
Write pretty code on viewDidLoad() like:
tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.myviewTapped(_:)))
tapGesture.numberOfTapsRequired = 1
tapGesture.numberOfTouchesRequired = 1
viewTap.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture)
viewTap.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
this method is calling when tap gesture recognized
#objc func myviewTapped(_ sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
if self.viewTap.backgroundColor == UIColor.yellow {
self.viewTap.backgroundColor = UIColor.green
}else{
self.viewTap.backgroundColor = UIColor.yellow
}
}
Note: In your case you have to sure for view which view infront like UILabel or UIView that is nav and then assign the gesture to it.If your label cover the whole view then let's try to give gesture to label only.
I'm trying to make a clickable UILabel by following this code:
class ViewNotificationsDetails: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var back: UILabel!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(ViewNotificationsDetails.tapFunction))
back.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
back.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
}
#objc func tapFunction(sender:UITapGestureRecognizer) {
print("tap working")
}
}
But when executing the code, I get the error ->
Thread 1: Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an
Optional value on the line "back.isUserInteractionEnabled = true".
What could be the problem?
try this code, is working well with me
class ViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var cliclableLable: UILabel!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(ViewController.tapFunction))
cliclableLable.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
cliclableLable.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
}
func tapFunction(sender:UITapGestureRecognizer) {
print("tap working")
}
}
also don't forget to link your label with the code
Problem is with your Label memory allocation. You have created IBOutlet of label but not connected it with Interface from your Storyboard/XIB view controller.
Go to your Interface Builder: (Storyboard/XIB) View Controller ▶ Select 'Connection Inspector' ▶ Connect label outlet 'back' with Label interface element
Use back.userInteractionEnabled = true
you did wrong as isUserInteractionEnabled.
Add a UIButton element on the label. clear button placeholder, make button constraints equal to the label i.e equal height, equal width, Top, bottom. In the above image, label has only trailing fixed as it expands wrt text. so button trailing should be to trailing to the label. No leading constraint to the button in the below context. Finally created an IBAction and write your code to get your task done.
