Disable UIScrollView scrolling with second finger if already dragging - ios

I have UIScrollView with a UIImageView. The user is able to pan the image vertically.
How do I stop the user from continuing dragging with another finger, or ignore a second touch on the scrollview? Somewhat similar to the dragging behaviour in the photoBrowser of the Facebook app.

Try setting both the canCancelContentTouches and delaysContentTouches properties of your UIScrollView to YES.
When the UIScrollView property canCancelContentTouches is set to YES, it should transfer any scrolling/drag touches to the scroll view and cancel whatever that touch would have been registered in the subview.
The scroll view's delaysContentTouches should be set to YES as well. This will prevent drags from being triggered as taps (because the handler fires off too soon).

Prevent UIScrollView scrolling if slide gesture is in a rea

I have a UIScrollView and a subview of that view is a UISlider. I am finding that when I try to slide the UISlider the UIScrollView scrolls.
Can I make it so the scroll view only slides if I am not touching the UISlider?
You could use this self.slider.exclusiveTouch = YES;
From the Apple Documentation:
Restrict event delivery to a single view. By default, a view’s exclusiveTouch property is set to NO, which means that one view does not block other views in a window from receiving touches. If you set the property to YES for a specific view, then that view receives touches if—and only if—it is the only view tracking touches.
So by setting your slider's exclusiveTouch property, you can prevent scrollView from receiving the touches and therefore it will not slide.

UIScrollView behavior

I have a UIScrollView configured like this :
canCancelContentTouches:YES
delaysContentTouches:NO
Inside the UIScrollView, I have a few UIButtons (think thumbnails). If I click a button, the touch is detected and if I then start scrolling, the touch is cancelled on the UIButton as expected.
The issue I'm encountering is if I give the UIScrollView a good swing, and I stop the scrolling by simply touching the UIScrollView, once I touch a UIButton it will receive the touchesCancelled after approximately 1 second of holding the button, until I re-scroll the UIScrollView
The problem seems to come from the UIScrollView still thinking that it is getting dragged (which is false because i haven't moved yet on my last touch).
Strangely, if I disable bouncing via [UIScrollView setBounces:false] the issue is not there anymore. But I obviously lose the bounce, which is problematic.
I have tried a bunch of thing like disabling/re-enabling the scrollview, its gesture recognizer. I'm running out of ideas here.
What you can do here when uibutton receives touch began you can set uiscrollview contentsize equal to uiscrollview superview size.
When uibutton receives touch end you can set uiscrollview contentsize back to what it was before.
By setting uiscrollview contentsize equal to uiscrollview superview size it will not allow uiscrollview content to move.

Scroll View doesn't scroll when touching and holding then swiping

I have UIScrollView with other UIView elements inside. My other UIView elements are mostly segmented controls. If I click on a UISegmentedControl and hold for a second and then try to scroll, then no scrolling happens. I can only scroll when my finger touches and swipes immediately. I checked other iOS applications such as mail. The behavior was that you touch and hold on a mail, then it's highlighted, but as soon as finger moves away, the scrolling happens and highlighting is undone. How can I implement this behavior?
The issue was the property of UIScrollView. The property canCancelContentTouches was set to NO. Because of that, touch events were handled by subviews of scroll view and swiping didn't cause scrolling.
You can follow one of these steps:
If you are using UISegmentedControl over you UIScrollView, instead of that, add the UISegmentedControl over your controller's view.
If you want to use UISegmentedControl over your scrollView, then you have to create a custom scrollView by creating a subclass of UIScrollView and use an image view instead of UISegmentedControl adding the labels which can act as the segments. This is because your UISegmentControl itself is a touch handler and it breaks the UIResponder chain. So, the scrolling might face issues during the touch events.
Please let me know if any of these works. Thanks :)

IOS UIScrollView - scroll and click element at the same time

I have a UIScrollView with an button just outside the content area of the scrollView. The user has to scroll up and hold the spring effect which one finger and push the button with another finger. The problem is that the touch on the button is never detected.
Please see the illustration below
The scroll view in it's initial state. the orange area is the scrollView, the white area the button
The user is now scrolling and holding with one finger to overcome the spring effect of the UIScrollView, and want to click the button
Any suggestions?
Check this out:
UIScrollView blocks all touches while zooming or scrolling
Make sure you have multitouch set to YES on the scrollview and also don't have any subviews with exclusive touch enabled.

How do I pass delayed scroll gestures from a UIButton inside of a UIScrollView?

I have a UIScrollView that contains several UIButtons. Each button is wired up to take an action when the user inputs a touch up event, so they are able to place their finger on the button and it will not be selected until it is raised. Currently, if I made a swipe gesture to scroll the UIScrollView quickly, then the scroll view moves as expected even if the gesture happens directly over a UIButton. HOWEVER, if I hold my finger down too long on a UIButton (about 1 second), the UIScrollView will no longer recognize the gesture and will not be able to scroll until the finger is lifted up.
I am wondering if their is a way to always have the UIScrollView recognize the scroll gesture? Note that this is not an issue if I touch the UiScrollView in a location without a UIButton - it then scrolls as expected.
It may worth a try to let your UIButton respond to UIControlEventTouchDown (maybe with an empty action). I'm not sure if this will work, but conceptually I think it should let the UIButton capture the touch immediately.
(Also make sure you don't enable delaysContentTouches on your scrollview.)
I found the answer to this here: UIScrollview with UIButtons - how to recreate springboard?
Essentially, I had to extend UIScrollView and override touchesShouldCancelInContentView, having it always return YES.
