Button tap and long press gesture - ios

Question

I'm having a little trouble with the gestures.
I'm trying to use both tap and long press on the same button, so I've used
#IBAction func xxx (sender: UITapGestureRecognizer)
and
#IBAction func xxx (sender: UILongPressGestureRecognizer)
but my button seems to react to both functions when I tap. What might be wrong?
func long(longpress: UIGestureRecognizer){
if(longpress.state == UIGestureRecognizerState.Ended){
homeScoreBool = !homeScoreBool
}else if(longpress.state == UIGestureRecognizerState.Began){
print("began")
}
}

Hard to say what´s not working with your code, with the only two rows that you have provided, but I would recommend you to do it in this way instead:
Create an outlet to your button instead
#IBOutlet weak var myBtn: UIButton!
And in your viewDidLoad() add the gestures to the buttons
let tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "normalTap")
let longGesture = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "longTap:")
tapGesture.numberOfTapsRequired = 1
myBtn.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture)
myBtn.addGestureRecognizer(longGesture)
And then create the actions to handle the taps
func normalTap(){
print("Normal tap")
}
func longTap(sender : UIGestureRecognizer){
print("Long tap")
if sender.state == .Ended {
print("UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded")
//Do Whatever You want on End of Gesture
}
else if sender.state == .Began {
print("UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan.")
//Do Whatever You want on Began of Gesture
}
}
Swift 3.0 version:
let tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(ViewController.normalTap))
let longGesture = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector(("longTap:")))
tapGesture.numberOfTapsRequired = 1
myBtn.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture)
myBtn.addGestureRecognizer(longGesture)
func normalTap(){
print("Normal tap")
}
func longTap(sender : UIGestureRecognizer){
print("Long tap")
if sender.state == .ended {
print("UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded")
//Do Whatever You want on End of Gesture
}
else if sender.state == .began {
print("UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan.")
//Do Whatever You want on Began of Gesture
}
}
Updated syntax for Swift 5.x:
let tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(normalTap))
button.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture)
let longGesture = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(longTap))
button.addGestureRecognizer(longGesture)
#objc func normalTap(_ sender: UIGestureRecognizer){
print("Normal tap")
}
#objc func longTap(_ sender: UIGestureRecognizer){
print("Long tap")
if sender.state == .ended {
print("UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded")
//Do Whatever You want on End of Gesture
}
else if sender.state == .began {
print("UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan.")
//Do Whatever You want on Began of Gesture
}
}
