iOS: propagate pan gesture to UITableView - ios

I have a UITableView, each cell contains a UIScrollView inside. I want to capture the pan gesture inside the UIScrollView to do some stuff, and without affecting the normal behaviour of the table view. eg) swipe up cause the table view to scroll up.
The code snippet:
- (void)handleSwipe:(UISwipeGestureRecognizer *)swipe {
NSLog(#"handleSwipe");
}
In UITableView's cell for row at index path function:
UIPanGestureRecognizer *swipeLeft = [[UIPanGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(handleSwipe:)];
[picScrollView addGestureRecognizer:swipeLeft];
Now I can see the handleSwipe is called but the UITableview stop functioning - it just can't scroll now.
I think the pan event is eaten by the scrollview but I just want it to be propagate to the table view.

UICollectionView within UIScrollView: Long Press

I have added a UILongPressGestureRecognizer to my UICollectionView that is within a subclass of UIScrollView. (The UIScrollView is paged so there are 3 horizontally stacked UIViewControllers).
My code to add the UILongPressGestureRecognizer:
UILongPressGestureRecognizer *longPress = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(handleLongPress:)];
longPress.delegate = self;
longPress.minimumPressDuration = 0.5;
longPress.delaysTouchesBegan = YES;
[self.collectionView addGestureRecognizer:longPress];
And an NSLog in my handleLongPress: method. Currently I hold down on a UICollectionViewCell, it highlights, but the long press is not activated. I believe my UIScrollView subclass is consuming the long press and not passing along to the UICollectionView. When I lift my finger, the didSelectItemAtIndexPath: method is called.
In my UIScrollView subclass, the only customization I have is the following:
- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldRequireFailureOfGestureRecognizer:(nonnull UIGestureRecognizer *)otherGestureRecognizer {
// This line enables the swipe to delete in the Messaging VC.
return ([otherGestureRecognizer.view.superview isKindOfClass:[UITableView class]]);
}
This was done to enable cell swiping in my UITableView, which is one of the pages of my UIScrollView. The swiping works no problem, and I have tried a number of similar checks for UICollectionView and UICollectionViewCell here but have not gotten the long press to register yet. Any advice appreciated.
Edit: I have added the long press on another UICollectionView and it is functional, but the cell never shows highlighted/selected status. I guess that is a clue as to why I can't get this long press gesture to fire.
My issue was that I was adding the gesture recognizer in the -init method. That did not work. Simply moving the code to -viewDidLoad fixed the problem.

Table View selection and pan gesture

I have a table view with a pan gesture on it. When I start panning the tableview up and down the tableView selection gets disable and I can't select tableview cells.
UIPanGesture* tablePanGesture =[[UIPanGestureRecognizer alloc]initWithTarget:self action:#selector(gestureHandler:)];
tablePanGesture.delegate = self;
[tableView addGestureRecognizer:tablePanGesture];
[tablePanGesture setCancelsTouchesInView:NO];
And I using the following delegate to let my gestures and tableview gestures work together:
-(BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)otherGestureRecognizer{
return YES;
}
I have implemented the method for table view didSelectRowAtIndexPath but when I use panning it is not called.
Is there any conflict between pan gesture and tableview Delegate?
You are missing this line:-
[tablePanGesture setCancelsTouchesInView:NO];
This will let the UIPanGesture recognize the pan gesture and also pass the touch to the next responder means your table view select or tap.

Hide UITableView on touches outside the tableview

I have a small UITableView that is hidden when the view is loaded. When i click on "SHOW" UIButton, the UITableView is made visible by myTableView.hidden=NO;
I want to hide UITableView when a user touches outside its frame. Thanks for any help!
Best Approach
Simple.Before show up the UITable View add one more grayed out/Transparent view then add tap gesture recogniser on it to hide it . That's it.
Show Overlay View first - alpha will be 0.5f and background color should be clear color.
show the table view.
NOTE: over lay view should have tap recogniser which will hide the overlay and table view
in View did load
UITapGestureRecognizer *tapRecog = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self
action:#selector(overlayDidTap:)];
[myOverLayView addGestureRecognizer:tapRecog];
- (void)overlayDidTap:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)gesture
{
//hide both overlay and table view here
}
Bad Approach
We should not add tap recogniser on main view itself. Because it may have lots of
controls inside of it. so when user tap on it. it will perform its operation. So to avoid
it we can simulate the same behaviour by above approach
You can get touch position by this:
UITapGestureRecognizer *singleTap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(singleTapGestureCaptured:)];
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:singleTap];
- (void)singleTapGestureCaptured:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)gesture
{
CGPoint touchPoint=[gesture locationInView:self.View];
}
Then just check if the point is in tableview frame. If not then hide the tableview. Hope this help. :)
Subclass UITableView, override pointInside:withEvent:. It is templated for this reason.
Something like:
-(BOOL)pointInside:(CGPoint) point withEvent:(UIEvent*) event
{
BOOL pointIsInsideTableView = [super pointInside:point withEvent:event];
BOOL pointIsOutsideTableView = // Some test
return pointIsInsideTableView || pointIsOutsideTableView;
}
So you can catch the touch in table view implementation, where it belongs logically in this case.

iOS scroll view childs are not getting touched

I'm new to iOS so I'm getting problem with scroll view.
My scroll view having image views as subviews. Whenever I'm trying to touch image inside scroll view, scroll view touch is getting enable instead of subview.
How to resolve this problem?
Thanks
Add a Tap gesture recognizer to the scroll view for enabling touch inside scroll view:
UITapGestureRecognizer *singlTap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(methodName:)];
singlTap.cancelsTouchesInView = NO;
[scrollViewName addGestureRecognizer:singlTap];
then write your code in specified method.
-(void)methodName:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)gesture
{
//your code here
}
Thats all

iOS UIPanGestureRecognizer prevents scroll

I am overriding my horizontal image UIScrollView with a panning gesture recognizer to detect a user swipe.
UIPanGestureRecognizer *panGesture = [[UIPanGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(panGestureCaptured)];
[imgHorizontalScrollView addGestureRecognizer:panGesture];
My question is: Is there a way for me to reset imgHorizontalScrollView's pan gesture recognizer back to default in the panGestureCaptured method? The reason I ask is because since I am overriding this gesture, once the user swipes and the gesture is picked up, I am no longer able to scroll in the scroll view. I also tried to remove the gesture but that also prevents me from being able to scroll.
try UIGestureRecognizerDelegate gestureRecognizer:shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer: with scrollView's gestureRecognizer got by panGestureRecognizer
Try setting
panGesture.cancelsTouchesInView = NO;
If that doesn't work, you should find a way to change your gesture handler to the scrollViewDidScroll: delegate method
