Disable TapGestureRecognizer for a specific image - iphone

I have 4 image over a view. 3 of them are assigned with TapGestureRecognizer & another 1 is PanGestureRecognizer. Now i want to disable the TapGestureRecognizer for only 1 specific image after a certain time. For this purpose i did:
[cat setUserInteractionEnabled:NO];
But it don't disable the TapGestureRecognizer. Then also did this:
[cat setHidden:YES];
None of them are working. Here cat is the image i want to disable the TapGestureRecognizer for. What is the solution? Thanks in advance.

Set recognizer's delegate and implement this method:
- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldReceiveTouch:(UITouch *)touch
{
if (gestureRecognizer == tapRecognizerToDisable &&
CGRectContainsPoint(_imageToDisable.bounds, [touch locationInView:_imageToDisable]))
return NO;
else
return YES;
}
This will work disregarding to which view tapRecognizerToDisable is added.

Pass pinch gesture from custom UIView to parent UIScrollView

I've got a custom UIView as a subview in a UIScrollView.
When selected, the user can resize the subview by pinching anywhere on the screen (the sub view is fairly small).
When deselected, I would like this pinch gesture to be passed on to the UIScrollView so that it can handle it as it normally does.
Here is what I'm trying.
- (IBAction)pinchInView:(UIPinchGestureRecognizer *)sender {
if (self.item.isSelected)
{
if ((sender.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateChanged) || (sender.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded))
{
[self.item resizeWithScaleFactor:sender.scale];
}
} else
{
[self.scrollView setZoomScale:self.scrollView.zoomScale *= sender.scale];
}
sender.scale = 1;
}
While it does work, it seems an awkward way to go about this.
Is there a way to let the UIScrollView handle its own zooming?
I'm pretty much using the same approach with pan gestures as well.
If there is any way to make this less awkward, I'd really appreciate your help.
Provide a Delegate to the Gestures which You have added to subview. Implement following Method in delegate
-(BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecoznizer shouldReceiveTouch:(UITouch *)touch{
if(isSelected == true)
return YES;
else
return NO;
}
Implement the below delegate method
-(BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldReceiveTouch:(UITouch *)touch

Pass taps through a UIPanGestureRecognizer

I'd like to detect swipe on the entire screen, however, the screen contains UIButtons, and if the user taps one of these buttons, I want the Touch Up Inside event to be triggered.
I've create a UIView on the top of my screen, and added a UIPanGestureRecognizer on it to detect the swipe, but now I need to pass the gesture through that view when I detect that it's a tap rather than a swipe.
I know how to differentiate the gestures, but I've no idea on how to pass it to the view below.
Can anyone help on that? Thanks!
Thanks for your answer. The link helped me to solve part of my problem.
I've set the buttons as subviews of my gestureRecognizer view and I can now start a swipe from one of the buttons (and continue to use the buttons as well). I managed to prevent the buttons to go to the "down" state by using the following code :
UIPanGestureRecognizer *swipe = [[UIPanGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(swipeDetected:)];
swipe.maximumNumberOfTouches = 1;
swipe.delaysTouchesBegan =YES;
swipe.cancelsTouchesInView = YES;
[self.gestureRecognitionView addGestureRecognizer:swipe];
there is a BOOL property of UIGestureRecognizer cancelsTouchesInView. default is yes. set it to NO , and the touches will pass thru to the UIView
also have a look at the solution for this question
If you want to prevent the recognizer from receiving the touch at all, UIGestureRecognizerDelegate has a method gestureRecognizer:shouldReceiveTouch: you can use:
- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldReceiveTouch:(UITouch *)touch {
// don't override any other recognizers
if (gestureRecognizer != panRecognizer) {
return YES;
}
CGPoint touchedPoint = [touch locationInView:self.someButton];
return CGRectContainsPoint(self.someButton.bounds, touchedPoint) == NO;
}

Separate the Tap Event from the ImageView

I am having a View where the TapGestureRecognizer is used. I am using the TapGestureRecognizer for the Single and double tap event. So far so good. Now I have added a ImageView on Top of the View , the image view frame is imageView.frame=CGRectMake(50,290,205,100);
Now wherever I am tapping the View , my #selectors being called. I want to skip the tap events only for the ImageView . How to do it ?
I tried using the
if(recognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateRecognized)
{
CGPoint point = [recognizer locationInView:recognizer.view];
}
You have to implement this check
if(!CGRectContainsPoint(image.view.frame, point))
{
//Complete your Work
}
Do this...I hope this will help you...
Whenever you tap on screen this delegate method will call..
in this method please check touch and gestureRecognizer will give some data regarding your tapping.....
Based on that you can proceed.....
- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldReceiveTouch:(UITouch *)touch
{
NSLog(#"%#",touch.description);
NSLog(#"%#",gestureRecognizer.description);
}
You need to check for the touch point ,
if(!CGRectContainsPoint(image.view.frame, point))
{
//Do you work here
}
Do this:
if(recognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateRecognized)
{
CGPoint point = [recognizer locationInView:recognizer.view];
if(CGRectContainsPoint(imageView.frame,point)
{
//igonre
}
else
{
// continue
}
}

How to reliably find correct view for UIGestureRecognizer?

I have a bunch of UIViews like in the image below. The red/pink (semi-transparent) view is on top of the others.
Red has a UISwipeGestureRecognizer.
Green has as a UITapGestureRecognizer.
Blue has no recognizer.
A tap on the visible (bottom-left) part of Green trigger its recognizer.
A tap on the hidden parts of Green does not trigger its recognizer (Red blocks it).
That's the problem: I want Green to trigger. How can I do this?
In practice, the views may be in any order, any number and be subviews of each others etc. But the problem is the same:
How can I reliably find the uppermost view that can handle the gesture (tap or swipe)?
I tried with the code below. It neatly traverses all views, but it fails since it cannot know if the event is part of a swipe or a tap. So the method always returns the red view. If I remove the swipe-recognizer from Red, the code works correctly.
- (UIView*)hitTest:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
UIView *hitView = [super hitTest:point withEvent:event];
if (hitView == self)
{
if (self.hasASwipeRecognizer)
return self; // What if this was a tap?
if (self.hasATapRecognizer)
return self;
else
return nil;
}
else
return hitView;
}
An alternative to adding the gesture recognizer to these views would be to add the gesture recognizers to the parent view and handle the use cases appropriately using the delegate method gestureRecognizer:shouldReceiveTouch: method.
Identify whether the particular recognizer should receive the touch and return YES. For example, if the gesture recognizer passed is a swipe recognizer then check if the touch point is within the green view and return YES. Return NO otherwise.
If there are similar gesture recognizers then I suggest that you keep a reference and verify against it.
Usage
- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldReceiveTouch:(UITouch *)touch {
CGPoint pointInView = [touch locationInView:gestureRecognizer.view];
if ( [gestureRecognizer isMemberOfClass:[UITapGestureRecognizer class]]
&& CGRectContainsPoint(self.blueView.frame, pointInView) ) {
return YES;
}
if ( [gestureRecognizer isMemberOfClass:[UISwipeGestureRecognizer class]]
&& CGRectContainsPoint(self.greenView.frame, pointInView) ) {
return YES;
}
return NO;
}
One possible solution would be to add a tap gesture recognizer to the top red view and then whenever you get the tap, check whether the tap point intersects with the green view. If so, forward the tap to that view. If not, ignore the tap.
My solutions is:
-(void)handleGesture:(UIGestureRecognizer*)gestureRecognizer {
CGPoint touchPoint = [tapGestureRecognizer locationInView:viewUnderTest];
if ([viewUnderTest pointInside:touchPoint withEvent:nil]) {
NSLog(#"Hit done in view under test");
}
}

UIGestureRecognizer ending

I would like to handle the rotation gesture in my iPhone app and rotate an imageView during this. At the end of the gesture I would like to rotate to a fix position the imageView.
So ie. if I rotate the imageView from 0 radian to M_PI/2 radians, but somewhere on halfway I end with the gesture. After the end I would like to test the angle and if it close to M_PI/2 then set it to M_PI/2 otherwise to 0.
Here's my code how I tried to do this:
I create and add the recognizer to my view.
UIGestureRecognizer *recognizer = [[UIRotationGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(gestureRecognized:)];
recognizer.delegate = self;
[self addGestureRecognizer:recognizer];
[recognizer release];
Delegate methods:
- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldReceiveTouch:(UITouch *)touch {
if (_imageView) {
return YES;
}
return NO;
}
- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)otherGestureRecognizer {
return YES;
}
Gesture recognized method:
- (void)gestureRecognized:(UIRotationGestureRecognizer *)recognizer {
_imageView.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(recognizer.rotation);
}
These methods are working, but here's the method how I tried to get the end of the gesture. This is not working:
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
NSLog(#"gesture end");
}
Also with the transform I have a little problem. Sometimes it is going back to the 0 radian.
Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks!
I've found the answer on an other forum. I hope this will help somebody else too.
Answer:
You can detect the end of the gesture by checking the UIRotationGestureRecognizer's state in your action method. If [gestureRecognizer state] == UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded then it's done. If something had instead caused it to be cancelled (for instance, a phone call coming in) then you'd see it end in UIGestureRecognizerStateCancelled instead.
If you want to apply the recognizer's rotation directly to your view rather than treat it as a delta from the previous location you can set the recognizer's rotation the its state is UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan, and then it will calculate offsets from that value and you can apply them directly. This just requires that you remember the rotation you last ended at, and then you can do something like [gestureRecognizer setRotation:lastAppliedRotation] when the recognizer's state is UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan.
If the gestureRecognizer recognizes the gesture, by default touchesEnded won't be called (touchesCancelled will be called instead. touchesEnded would only be called if the recognizer doesn't recognize the gesture). Set gestureRecognizer.delaysTouchesEnded to NO, and it should work.
Just in case this happens to you as well and it's the reason you're reading that question :
"ended" and "recognized" are the same value ( 3 ). So this code (in swift) won't work:
if (gesture.state == .recognized || gesture.state == .changed) {
}
else if (gesture.state == .ended) {
//do something else
//=> never called
}
