touch events not working on programatically created view - ios

Question

I want to create the view with button, textbox, label programatically in viewdidload
But touch events are not working on view and its subviews even though i have set userinteractionenabled to YES.
Here is my code:
CGRect bounds = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];
//creating a view
UIView* mainView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame: bounds];
[mainView setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];
[mainView setBackgroundColor: [UIColor yellowColor]];
CGRect buttonFrame = CGRectMake( 100, 80, 100, 50 );
UIButton *myButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeSystem];
myButton.frame = buttonFrame;
[myButton setBackgroundColor:[UIColor greenColor]];
myButton.userInteractionEnabled=YES;
[myButton addTarget: self
action: #selector(buttonClicked:)
forControlEvents: UIControlEventAllTouchEvents];
[myButton setTitle: #"My Button" forState: UIControlStateNormal];
//adding button to myview
[mainView addSubview: myButton];
//adding label to myview
UILabel* myLabel=[[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(100, 100, 200, 100)];
myLabel.text=#"my text";
[mainView addSubview:myLabel];
//adding textbox to myview
UITextField* textbox=[[UITextField alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(100, 210, 200, 50)];
textbox.text=#"my text in textfield";
textbox.userInteractionEnabled=YES;
[mainView addSubview:textbox];
//finally adding my view to self.view
[self.view addSubview:mainView];

try this
//creating a view
UIView* mainView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame: bounds];
[mainView setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];
[mainView setBackgroundColor: [UIColor yellowColor]];
UITapGestureRecognizer *tapGesture = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc]initWithTarget:self action:#selector(tappedOnView:)]; //add the gesture to get the touch event
tapGesture.numberOfTapsRequired = 1;
[mainView addGestureRecognizer:tapGesture];
CGRect buttonFrame = CGRectMake( 100, 80, 100, 50 );
UIButton *myButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeSystem];
myButton.frame = buttonFrame;
[myButton setBackgroundColor:[UIColor greenColor]];
myButton.userInteractionEnabled=YES;
[myButton addTarget: self
action: #selector(buttonClicked:)
forControlEvents: UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[myButton setTitle: #"My Button" forState: UIControlStateNormal];
//adding button to myview
[mainView addSubview: myButton];
//adding label to myview
UILabel* myLabel=[[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(100, 100, 200, 100)];
myLabel.text=#"my text";
[mainView addSubview:myLabel];
//adding textbox to myview
UITextField* textbox=[[UITextField alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(100, 210, 200, 50)];
textbox.text=#"my text in textfield";
textbox.userInteractionEnabled=YES;
[mainView addSubview:textbox];
//finally adding my view to self.view
[self.view addSubview:mainView];

modify the line
//UIButton *myButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeSystem];
to
UIButton *myButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
and add the method in your code
-(void)buttonClicked:(UIButton *)button
{
NSLog(#"hai");
}
and select the checkbox enable user interaction in interface builder its working fine.
