Get touch point location - ios

Question

I have UIWebView for display the articles. I have UIWebView for displays HTML articles. When user touch some area in UIWebView, UIMenuController will display. Then user select note button it displays UITextView. How to get touch location?
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
// Get the specific point that was touched
CGPoint point = [touch locationInView:wbCont];
NSLog(#"X location: %f", point.x);
NSLog(#"Y Location: %f",point.y);
}
- (void)note:(id)sender {
}

UIWebview is wrapped inside a UIScrollView. Therefore the touch events do not go through to the UIView where your method receives the touch events.
For your UIViewController it should implement UIGestureRecognizerDelegate
Then add a gesture to your webview:
UITapGestureRecognizer *tap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(tapTest:)];
[tap setDelegate:self];
[self.yourwebview.scrollView addGestureRecognizer:tap];
Next:
- (void)tapTest:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)sender {
NSLog(#"%f %f", [sender locationInView:self.yourwebview].x, [sender locationInView:self.yourwebview].y);
}
Edit:
shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer should return YES as well.
- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)otherGestureRecognizer
{
return YES;
}

Try this :-
-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
firstTouch = [touch locationInView:self.view];
NSLog(#" CHECKING CGPOINT %#", NSStringFromCGPoint(firstTouch));
}
works fine for me ;-)

-(void) touchesBegan: (NSSet *) touches withEvent: (UIEvent *) event
{
NSSet *touches = [event allTouches];
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
//UITouch *touch = [[event touchesForView:textview] anyObject];
CGPoint location = [touch locationInView: wbCont];
CGPoint previousLocation = [touch previousLocationInView:textview];
}

There's only one truly fail-safe way to do this (that I know of):
#interface MyWebView : UIWebView
#end
#implementation MyWebView
- (UIView *)hitTest:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
if ([self pointInside:point withEvent:event])
{
NSLog(#"Touched inside!");
}
return [super hitTest:point withEvent:event];
}
#end
Web views are extremely complex, so overriding those UIResponder methods or adding gesture recognisers won't work. Unfortunately, hitTest:withEvent: gets called 3 times on each touch, so you'll have to deal with that.

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
NSLog(#"X location: %f",touch.view.position.x);
NSLog(#"Y Location: %f",touch.position.y);
}
