how to response to touchupinside event in a UIScrollView? - ios

I have a UIScrollView in the centre of the whole view which is separated in to three parts and scroll horizontally.
Users can scroll the view freely and when the finger is up, i want to set one of the three parts to show based on the contentoffset of the UIScrollView.
how could i detect the touchupinside event in the UIScrollView? I tried add UITapGestureRecognizer and override touchesEnded but it does not work.

How about instead using the - scrollViewDidEndDecelerating:?
Keep in mind that just because the user has picked up their finger doesn't mean that the scrollview has stopped changing its content offset. By utilizing the - scrollViewDidEndDecelerating: delegate method, yo will be notified when the scroll view has come to a stop and at that point you can check the contentOffset and do what you need.
- scrollViewDidScroll: isn't a good match for what you want as it gets called even while the user's finger is still down. If that is important to you, then use - scrollViewDidEndDecelerating: as I mentioned above. If you'd rather know when the finger is lifted, and don't care that the scrollview is still in transit, then you can use - (void)scrollViewDidEndDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView willDecelerate:(BOOL)decelerate.

What is difference between scrollViewWillBeginDecelerating: and scrollViewDidEndDragging:willDecelerate:?

scrollViewWillBeginDecelerating: delegate method is called on finger up as it is moving.(from UIScrollView.h)
But, scrollViewDidEndDragging:willDecelerate: delegate method is also called when same state.
(called on finger up if the user dragged. decelerate is true if it will continue moving afterwards) -> from UIScrollView.h)
When I test, they are always called together.
I don't know what is the difference.
Actually, I should know when a scroll will be begun deceleration.
scrollViewWillBeginDecelerating: is always called on finger up.
No both has differrent states
scrollViewDidEndDragging - The scroll view sends this message when the user’s finger touches up after dragging content. The decelerating property of UIScrollView controls deceleration.
scrollViewWillBeginDecelerating - The scroll view calls this method as the user’s finger touches up as it is moving during a scrolling operation; the scroll view will continue to move a short distance afterwards. The decelerating property of UIScrollView controls deceleration.
Refer Here
If you drag the scroll view so slowly that after your finger is up, the scroll view won't move, then scrollViewDidEndDragging:willDecelerate: will be called, with decelerate == NO, while the scrollViewWillBeginDecelerating: not being called.
Both the delegate methods will be called when you drag fast enough.

Detect continuous touch position in view with UIScrollView still active

I am interested in getting the touch location (e.g. something that is, or mimics touchesMoved) in a view controller's view while still keeping a UIScrollView subview enabled. Since all of the touchesDidSomething methods are consumed by the UIScrollView, my hope is that there's a roundabout way of achieving this.
Here are a few things I've tried:
Subclassing a UIScrollView, overriding it's touchesMoved method and passing that touch information to a custom delegate method in my scrollView's view controller. --> This actually works if I deselect "cancellable content touches" and "delays content touches" on my scroll view but it prevents my scroll view from scrolling.
Using the same tactic as above but with a subclassed UIView as a sibling to my UIScrollView. Hence, the hierarchy is as follows:
view
UIScrollView
Subview
Subview
CustomUIView <-- custom UIView that calls delegate
Both of these methods work to the extent that I can grab the data, but at the expense of my scroll view not scrolling anymore. I know I can grab the location of a touch event in a UIScrollView similar to a touchesBegan while the scrollView continues to work but I haven't found a way to get continuous touch events while scrolling. Is this possible?
Here's an illustration of what I'm after:
For some metadata as to why I'm looking for this and why grabbing something like scrollViewDidScroll's contentOffset.x won't work, I'm specifically interested in when the scrollView has scrolled to the end (or beginning) and a user is attempting to keep swiping forward (or backward) even though the scrollView can't scroll in the swiped direction anymore. When this happens I want to detect the forward (or backward) swipe motion to initiate a slick transition to another view.
I solved this by adding a panning gesture recognizer to my view and using it's translationInView method (UISwipeGestureRecognizer doesn't have this method). Example below
let panGesture = UIPanGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(myMethod(_:)))
panGesture.delegate = self
self.addGestureRecognizer(panGesture)
func myMethod(sender: UIPanGestureRecognizer) {
// sender.translationInView(self).x
}
Also making sure to return true for shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer in the UIGestureRegognizerDelegate to account for the scrollView.

Restrict angle of swipe to scroll UIScrollView

I have a vertical scroll view that needs to be scrollable but I want to use the left and right swipe gestures for something else. I have the behavior for each swipe direction working, but I want to restrict the angle of a swipe that scrolls the UIScrollView, so that it has to be really, really vertical, and most left or right leaning swipes activate the other behavior and do not change the scroll position.
I know that I can get the swipe angle by overriding scrollViewDidScroll and comparing the previous and current contentOffset, but I cannot stop the scrollview from scrolling there.
How can I limit the angle of a swipe that scrolls a UIScrollView ?
I think scrollViewDidScroll is too late for what you want to achieve.
Maybe try setting the directionalLockEnabled property of the UIScrollView to YES.(not sure if this helps... but play with it)
And/Or implement the UIScrollViewDelegate method - (void)scrollViewWillBeginDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView and within this methods implementation grab a pointer to the panGestureRecognizer (readonly) property of the UIScrollView passed in.
From there call translationInView: on the UIPanGestureRecognizer, passing in the view in whose coordinate system the translation of the pan gesture should be computed, and with the CGPoint returned use trigonometry to calculate the angle and if it's not within predetermined limits call setTranslationInView: on the UIPanGestureRecognizer to restore.

ios move touch event between two uiscrollview

I'm building an iOS layout which consists of a UITableView and a UIScrollView. The UIScrollView is inside a table cell of the UITableView and can be scrolled both horizontally and vertically. The diagram below shows this situation. If the user begins scrolling down/up on the UIScrollView the scrolling event should trigger setContentOffset of the table view, and not setContentOffset for the scroll view while the top of the scroll view will be on the dotted line (it's constant height). Then a scrolling touch event should trigger setContentOffset for the scroll view, not for the table view.
In another case: When the user starts scrolling on the table view, it should trigger setContentOffset for the table view, until the scroll view reaches the dotted line. Then the scroll view should handle setContentOffset.
My problem is how to transfer touch events between the table view and the scroll view during one sliding action.
This sounds like one of those cases where you want something quite specific and custom. So trying to do something clever with the gesture recognizers won't be enough.
The main problem is that the ways you can control gesture recognizers such as with gestureRecognizer:shouldReceiveTouch: and gestureRecognizerShouldBegin: only affect the start of the gesture (or for new touches, not ongoing ones), but you want a single ongoing gesture to transition between controlling each view. So for this reason I think you will need to place a large transparent view over your entire screen with a pan gesture recognizer on it and in your handlePan method decide which view you want to adjust and then call setContentOffset directly on that view. You can use the translation of the pan recognizer and the existing content offset to calculate the new one. I know this isn't very elegant, but I can't think of another way to achieve the effect you want.
I'm not sure if this is going to work, but you could try doing something like this:
Option
self.scrollView.panGestureRecognizer = self.tableView.panGestureRecognizer;
Option
[self.scrollView addGestureRecognizer:self.tableView.panGestureRecognizer];
Option
[self.tableView.panGestureRecognizer requireGestureRecognizerToFail:self.scrollView.panGestureRecognizer];

Zooming and moving a UIScrollView at the same time

I have a UIScrollView that takes up a portion of the screen, and its basic functions (scrolling and zooming) work just fine. For example, I can grab the scrollview with two fingers, and scroll left and right, while zooming in or out on the content.
I want to add the ability to move the UIScrollView up and down at the same time. Please note that I do not want to move the content of the scroll view, but the scroll view itself.
I have attempted to add a UIPinchGestureRecognizer to the UIScrollView which has allowed me to grab and move the scroll view, but I then lose the zoom and scrolling. It seems that adding a gesture recognizer makes all of the default actions stop (also, when I call setZoomScale, I get an EXC_BAD_ACCESS).
I've also considered checking touches, but touches on the UIScrollView aren't registered with the main view so I can't change its location using those values.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how this might be accomplished?
