Multiple gestureRecognizers on views- one shouldn't pass touch - iphone

Question

On parentClass(inheriting from UIView) i have:
[self addGestureRecognizer:_tapGesture]; // _tapGesture is UITapGestureRecognizer, with delegate on parentClass
On someClass:
[_myImageView addGestureRecognizer:_imageViewGestureRecognizer]; // _imageViewGestureRecognizer is UITapGestureRecognizer, with delegate on someClass
The problem is that when i tap on myImageView both gesture recognizers are firing. I want only _imageViewGestureRecognizer to work.
I've tried:
- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)recognizer shouldReceiveTouch:(UITouch *)touch {
UIView *gestureView = recognizer.view;
CGPoint point = [touch locationInView:gestureView];
UIView *touchedView = [gestureView hitTest:point withEvent:nil];
if ([touchedView isEqual:_imageViewGestureRecognizer]) {
return NO;
}
return YES;
}
But it ofc doesn't take upon consideration gesture recognizer from super class.

I did this little test and it worked perfectly...
#implementation View
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
self.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
UITapGestureRecognizer* tap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(tapped1)];
[self addGestureRecognizer:tap];
UIImageView* img = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"test.png"]];
img.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
img.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100);
[self addSubview:img];
UITapGestureRecognizer* tap2 = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(tapped2)];
[img addGestureRecognizer:tap2];
return self;
}
-(void)tapped1 {
NSLog(#"Tapped 1");
}
-(void)tapped2 {
NSLog(#"Tapped 2");
}
#end
What you wanted was iOS's default behaviour. Once a subview has taken care of a touch, its superview won't receive the touch anymore. Did you set userInteractionEnabled on the imageView?
