How to detect tap only on cells not on whole collection view? - ios

Question

I have collectionView in my app. I have a requirement that I should be able to both double & single tap on cells to perform diffrent operations. To make it possible both double & single tap gesture on the collectionView I have added both the gesture on collection view & got the location by below code.
-(void)handleSingleTap:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer
{
if([arr_userAlbums count]>0)
{
if (gestureRecognizer.state != UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded)
{
return;
}
p = [gestureRecognizer locationInView:self.collection_view];
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.collection_view indexPathForItemAtPoint:p];
celltTapped_index_path=indexPath;
}
}
-(void)handleDoubleTap:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer
{
if([arr_userAlbums count]>0)
{
if (gestureRecognizer.state != UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded)
{
return;
}
p = [gestureRecognizer locationInView:self.collection_view];
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.collection_view indexPathForItemAtPoint:p];
celltTapped_index_path=indexPath;
}
}
But in this case the whole screen even where cells are not visible it is accepting the double tap & single tap. I want to detect single & double tap only on cells not the whole collection view.

- (UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *cellIdentifier = #"cvCell";
customCell *cell = (customCell *)[collectionView dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.img_Collection.image = [imgArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.lbl_Collection.text = [lblArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.tag = indexPath.row;
UITapGestureRecognizer *singleTap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(handleSingleTap:)];
singleTap.numberOfTapsRequired = 1;
singleTap.delaysTouchesEnded = YES;
UITapGestureRecognizer *doubleTap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(handleDoubleTap:)];
doubleTap.numberOfTapsRequired = 2;
[singleTap requireGestureRecognizerToFail:doubleTap];
[cell addGestureRecognizer:singleTap];
[cell addGestureRecognizer:doubleTap];
return cell;
}
-(void)handleSingleTap:(UIGestureRecognizer *)recognizer
{
NSLog(#"The single tap happened for %ld th index",recognizer.view.tag);
}
-(void)handleDoubleTap:(UIGestureRecognizer *)recognizer
{
NSLog(#"The Double tap happened for %ld th index",recognizer.view.tag);
}

you can get tapped View by using hitTest Method like this
UIView *tappedView = [self hitTest:yourLocation forEvents:nil];
This will return you the view which is tapped
Check this with if condition like this
if(tappedView == Imageview)
{
// do this
}
else if(tappedView == CollectionViewCell)
{
// do this
}
