TouchesEnded not working in iOS5, working fine in iOS4 - ios5

I have a custom scrollView with the following method implemented:
- (void) touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
//if not dragging send it on up the chain
if(!self.dragging){
[self.nextResponder touchesEnded:touches withEvent:event];
}else {
[super touchesEnded:touches withEvent:event];
}
}
And in My View Controller I have the following method:
-(void) touchesEnded: (NSSet *) touches withEvent: (UIEvent *) event {
NSLog(#"TOUCH");
//---get all touches on the screen---
NSSet *allTouches = [event allTouches];
//---compare the number of touches on the screen---
switch ([allTouches count])
{
//---single touch---
case 1: {
//---get info of the touch---
UITouch *touch = [[allTouches allObjects] objectAtIndex:0];
//---compare the touches---
switch ([touch tapCount])
{
//---single tap---
case 1: {
NSLog(#"Single");
[self mySingleTapMethod];
} break;
//---double tap---
case 2: {
[self myDoubleTapMethod];
} break;
}
} break;
}
}
under iOS 4, this works perfectly, touches on the scrollview are recognized and the touchesEnded gets called in my view controller and all is right with the world. Under iOS 5x, however, the touchesEnded never gets fired. Does anyone know what the heck is going on/wrong?

Found the Answer here, basically if you want to do what I am doing you need to pass the touchesBegan up the chain as well.. because if a viewController didn't see the touchesBegan it won't get the TouchesEnded... So I modified the custom ScrollView to throw up the touchesBegan and everything now works fine in 5.0
Reference:
UIView touch handling behavior changed with Xcode 4.2?

Detect touch on uiview under the UIButton when button is pressed

i am using a uiview parent view....overidded touch began and touch ended methods...
when i added a UIButton as a subview in the view and touch on the button touchdown event is detected and associated method is called ...but touchbegan method that was over ridden is not called...
what i want is when i touch the button the method associated with the touchdown event and touchBegan method of uiview both be called simultaneously...UIbutton is not passing the touch to its superview i.e. uiview.....?
Any idea how to do that ?
Thanks
I'm not sure exactly how to call two touchesBegan events simultaneously on two different views, but you probably want to override the hitTest:withEvent: method of UIView. This will allow you to catch a touch event on the view underneath the UIButton before it gets to the button (hitTests work from the window upwards to the foremost view).
- (UIView*)hitTest:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
if (passToSubviews)
{
return [super hitTest: point withEvent: event];
}
// otherwise stop the subview receiving touches
if ([super hitTest: point withEvent: event])
{
return self;
}
return nil;
}
Maybe this can help...
EDIT:
Just a guess but you could try:
- (UIView*)hitTest:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
UIView* hitSubview = [super hitTest: point withEvent: event];
if (hitSubview)
{
[self doTouchedInStuff];
return hitSubview;
}
return self;
}
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
[self doTouchedInStuff];
[super touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];
}

touchesBegan - iPhone app UIView

I have a touchesBegan: method which works fine. However I recently added a UIView (a button) to my UIViewController and now the button isn't registering taps, however my touchesBegan: method is.
How can I tell my touchesBegan: method to avoid the button?
Here is my current touchesBegan: method:
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
NSLog(#"touches began");
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
switch ([touch tapCount])
{
case 1:
break;
case 2:
if(something)
[doing something];
break;
default:
break;
}
}
Make sure that the button is in front ([self.view bringSubviewToFront: myButton]). Then you can ask the touch in which in view it occurred:
if ([touch.view isEqualTo: myButton]) {
NSLog(#"touch was on button");
}
I had the same problem. When I moved my button to the front (in code via UIViewController.bringSubviewToFront) the touchesBegan no longer was fired when I clicked on the button. I'm running Xcode 4.2, in the simulator.

Problem capturing single/double taps inside a ScrollView

I'm posting this message because I've been reading the forum and I haven't been able to find a similar problem. I need to be able to discriminate taps and double taps (this is a standard thing) BUT my problem is that for whatever reasons I have a Scroll View inside another ScrollView. So, I had to sub-class my ScrollView in order to get touchedBegin method called.
I have a class called PhotoViewController (a sub-class of BaseViewController) this class contains another class called CustomScrollView (a subclass of ScrollView). I needed to sub-class this CustomScrollView from ScrollView in order to override the touchesBegin method, and to be able to capture the touches made by the user.
I tried calling the touchesBegin method from CustomScrollView using something like return [super touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event] inside the touchesBegin method, but when the touchesBegin method inside PhotoViewController gets called it's parameters are empty (and I can't discriminate if the user made a single or double tap, which is exactly what I need)
I have a class, called PhotoViewController:
#class PhotoViewController
#interface PhotoViewController : BaseViewController <UIScrollViewDelegate> {
CustomScrollView* myScrollView;
}
#implementation PhotoViewController
...
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
NSUInteger tapCount = [touch tapCount];
switch (tapCount) {
case 1:
[self performSelector:#selector(singleTapMethod) withObject:nil afterDelay:.4];
break;
case 2:
[NSObject cancelPreviousPerformRequestsWithTarget:self selector:#selector(singleTapMethod) object:nil];
[self performSelector:#selector(doubleTapMethod) withObject:nil afterDelay:.4];
break;
default:
break;
}
}
the class CustomScrollView is (CustomScrollView.h):
#interface CustomScrollViewPhoto : UIScrollView {
}
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event;
#end
and it's implementation is this(CustomScrollView.m):
#implementation CustomScrollViewPhoto
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
[self.superview touchesBegan:[NSSet set] withEvent:event];
return [super touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];
}
Am I going in the wrong direction with what I want to do? Maybe, I should capture the taps/double taps inside the CustomScrollView class(this works fine!), and from there using a #selector or something call the appropiate methods in PhotoViewController?
Thanks for reading!
I think you're going the wrong route (only slightly!). I do a very similar thing in a photo viewer and I capture the touches in the CustomScrollView. You shouldn't need to do anything in PhotoViewController.
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
[super touchesEnded:touches withEvent:event];
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
if(touch.tapCount == 2)
{
if (self.zoomScale == self.minimumZoomScale)
{
//Zoom where the user has clicked from
CGPoint pos = [touch locationInView:self];
[self zoomToRect:CGRectMake((pos.x - 5.0)/self.zoomScale, (pos.y-5.0)/self.zoomScale, 10.0, 10.0) animated:YES];
}
else
{
//Zoom back out to full size
[self setZoomScale:self.minimumZoomScale animated:YES];
}
}
}

Why is my application not detecting a shake gesture?

I'm trying to enable shake gestures within my application but I'm having a problem.
I have different view controllers, but on one of them (not the main view controller for the application) nothing happens in response to a shake gesture. What could be the problem?
The relevant code is as follows:
-(BOOL)canBecomeFirstResponder {
return YES;
}
-(void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewDidAppear:animated];
[self becomeFirstResponder];
}
-(void)motionEnded:(UIEventSubtype)motion withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
if (event.subtype == UIEventSubtypeMotionShake)
{
NSLog (#"SHAKED");
}
}
I think you should be checking motion, not event. Like this:
-(void)motionEnded:(UIEventSubtype)motion withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
if (motion == UIEventSubtypeMotionShake ) {
NSLog(#"SHOOK");
}
}

Scrolling with two fingers with a UIScrollView

I have an app where my main view accepts both touchesBegan and touchesMoved, and therefore takes in single finger touches, and drags. I want to implement a UIScrollView, and I have it working, but it overrides the drags, and therefore my contentView never receives them. I'd like to implement a UIScrollview, where a two finger drag indicates a scroll, and a one finger drag event gets passed to my content view, so it performs normally. Do I need create my own subclass of UIScrollView?
Here's my code from my appDelegate where I implement the UIScrollView.
#implementation MusicGridAppDelegate
#synthesize window;
#synthesize viewController;
#synthesize scrollView;
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
// Override point for customization after app launch
//[application setStatusBarHidden:YES animated:NO];
//[window addSubview:viewController.view];
scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(720, 480);
scrollView.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = YES;
scrollView.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = YES;
scrollView.delegate = self;
[scrollView addSubview:viewController.view];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
}
- (void)dealloc {
[viewController release];
[scrollView release];
[window release];
[super dealloc];
}
In SDK 3.2 the touch handling for UIScrollView is handled using Gesture Recognizers.
If you want to do two-finger panning instead of the default one-finger panning, you can use the following code:
for (UIGestureRecognizer *gestureRecognizer in scrollView.gestureRecognizers) {
if ([gestureRecognizer isKindOfClass:[UIPanGestureRecognizer class]]) {
UIPanGestureRecognizer *panGR = (UIPanGestureRecognizer *) gestureRecognizer;
panGR.minimumNumberOfTouches = 2;
}
}
For iOS 5+, setting this property has the same effect as the answer by Mike Laurence:
self.scrollView.panGestureRecognizer.minimumNumberOfTouches = 2;
One finger dragging is ignored by panGestureRecognizer and so the one finger drag event gets passed to the content view.
In iOS 3.2+ you can now achieve two-finger scrolling quite easily. Just add a pan gesture recognizer to the scroll view and set its maximumNumberOfTouches to 1. It will claim all single-finger scrolls, but allow 2+ finger scrolls to pass up the chain to the scroll view's built-in pan gesture recognizer (and thus allow normal scrolling behavior).
UIPanGestureRecognizer *panGestureRecognizer = [[UIPanGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(recognizePan:)];
panGestureRecognizer.maximumNumberOfTouches = 1;
[scrollView addGestureRecognizer:panGestureRecognizer];
[panGestureRecognizer release];
You need to subclass UIScrollView (of course!). Then you need to:
make single-finger events to go to your content view (easy), and
make two-finger events scroll the scroll view (may be easy, may be hard, may be impossible).
Patrick's suggestion is generally fine: let your UIScrollView subclass know about your content view, then in touch event handlers check the number of fingers and forward the event accordingly. Just be sure that (1) the events you send to content view don't bubble back to UIScrollView through the responder chain (i.e. make sure to handle them all), (2) respect the usual flow of touch events (i.e. touchesBegan, than some number of {touchesBegan, touchesMoved, touchesEnded}, finished with touchesEnded or touchesCancelled), especially when dealing with UIScrollView. #2 can be tricky.
If you decide the event is for UIScrollView, another trick is to make UIScrollView believe your two-finger gesture is actually a one-finger gesture (because UIScrollView cannot be scrolled with two fingers). Try passing only the data for one finger to super (by filtering the (NSSet *)touches argument — note that it only contains the changed touches — and ignoring events for the wrong finger altogether).
If that does not work, you are in trouble. Theoretically you can try to create artificial touches to feed to UIScrollView by creating a class that looks similar to UITouch. Underlying C code does not check types, so maybe casting (YourTouch *) into (UITouch *) will work, and you will be able to trick UIScrollView into handling the touches that did not really happen.
You probably want to read my article on advanced UIScrollView tricks (and see some totally unrelated UIScrollView sample code there).
Of course, if you can't get it to work, there's always an option of either controlling UIScrollView's movement manually, or use an entirely custom-written scroll view. There's TTScrollView class in Three20 library; it does not feel good to the user, but does feel good to programmer.
This answers are a mess since you can only find the correct answer by reading all the other answers and the comments (closest answer got the question backwards). The accepted answer is too vague to be useful, and suggests a different method.
Synthesizing, this works
// makes it so that only two finger scrolls go
for (id gestureRecognizer in self.gestureRecognizers) {
if ([gestureRecognizer isKindOfClass:[UIPanGestureRecognizer class]])
{
UIPanGestureRecognizer *panGR = gestureRecognizer;
panGR.minimumNumberOfTouches = 2;
panGR.maximumNumberOfTouches = 2;
}
}
This requires two fingers for a scroll. I've done this in a subclass, but if not, just replace self.gestureRecognizers with myScrollView.gestureRecognizers and you're good to go.
The only thing that I added is using id to avoid an ugly cast :)
This works but can get quite messy if you want your UIScrollView to do zoom too... the gestures don't work correctly, since pinch-to-zoom and scroll fight it out. I'll update this if I find a suitable answer.
we managed to implement similar functionality in our iPhone drawing app by subclassing UIScrollView and filtering events depending on number of touches in simple and rude way:
//OCRScroller.h
#interface OCRUIScrollView: UIScrollView
{
double pass2scroller;
}
#end
//OCRScroller.mm
#implementation OCRUIScrollView
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)aRect {
pass2scroller = 0;
UIScrollView* newv = [super initWithFrame:aRect];
return newv;
}
- (void)setupPassOnEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
int touch_cnt = [[event allTouches] count];
if(touch_cnt<=1){
pass2scroller = 0;
}else{
double timems = double(CACurrentMediaTime()*1000);
pass2scroller = timems+200;
}
}
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
[self setupPassOnEvent:event];
[super touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];
}
- (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
[self setupPassOnEvent:event];
[super touchesMoved:touches withEvent:event];
}
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
pass2scroller = 0;
[super touchesEnded:touches withEvent:event];
}
- (BOOL)touchesShouldBegin:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event inContentView:(UIView *)view
{
return YES;
}
- (BOOL)touchesShouldCancelInContentView:(UIView *)view
{
double timems = double(CACurrentMediaTime()*1000);
if (pass2scroller == 0 || timems> pass2scroller){
return NO;
}
return YES;
}
#end
ScrollView setuped as follows:
scroll_view = [[OCRUIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:rect];
scroll_view.contentSize = img_size;
scroll_view.contentOffset = CGPointMake(0,0);
scroll_view.canCancelContentTouches = YES;
scroll_view.delaysContentTouches = NO;
scroll_view.scrollEnabled = YES;
scroll_view.bounces = NO;
scroll_view.bouncesZoom = YES;
scroll_view.maximumZoomScale = 10.0f;
scroll_view.minimumZoomScale = 0.1f;
scroll_view.delegate = self;
self.view = scroll_view;
simple tap does nothing (you can handle it in the way you need), tap with two fingers scrolls/zooms view as expected. no GestureRecognizer is used, so works from iOS 3.1
I've got a further improvement to the code above. The problem was, that even after we set setCanCancelContentTouches:NO We have the problem, that a zoom gesture will interrupt with the content. It won't cancel the content touch but allow zooming in the meantime. TO prevent this i lock the zooming by setting the minimumZoomScale and maximumZoomScale to the same values everytime, the timer fires.
A quite strange behavior is that when a one finger event gets canceled by a two finger gesture within the allowed time period, the timer will be delayed. It gets fired after the touchCanceled Event gets called. So we have the problem, that we try to lock the zooming although the event is already canceled and therefore disable zooming for the next event.
To handle this behavior the timer callback method checks against if touchesCanceled was called before.

Bad news: iPhone SDK 3.0 and up, don't pass touches to -touchesBegan: and -touchesEnded: **UIScrollview**subclass methods anymore. You can use the touchesShouldBegin and touchesShouldCancelInContentView methods that is not the same.
If you really want to get this touches, have one hack that allow this.
In your subclass of UIScrollView override the hitTest method like this:
- (UIView *)hitTest:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
UIView *result = nil;
for (UIView *child in self.subviews)
if ([child pointInside:point withEvent:event])
if ((result = [child hitTest:point withEvent:event]) != nil)
break;
return result;
}
This will pass to you subclass this touches, however you can't cancel the touches to UIScrollView super class.
What I do is have my view controller set up the scroll view:
[scrollView setCanCancelContentTouches:NO];
[scrollView setDelaysContentTouches:NO];
And in my child view I have a timer because two-finger touches usually start out as one finger followed quickly by two fingers.:
- (void) touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
// Hand tool or two or more touches means a pan or zoom gesture.
if ((selectedTool == kHandToolIndex) || (event.allTouches.count > 1)) {
[[self parentScrollView] setCanCancelContentTouches:YES];
[firstTouchTimer invalidate];
firstTouchTimer = nil;
return;
}
// Use a timer to delay first touch because two-finger touches usually start with one touch followed by a second touch.
[[self parentScrollView] setCanCancelContentTouches:NO];
anchorPoint = [[touches anyObject] locationInView:self];
firstTouchTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:kFirstTouchTimeInterval target:self selector:#selector(firstTouchTimerFired:) userInfo:nil repeats:NO];
firstTouchTimeStamp = event.timestamp;
}
If a second touchesBegan: event comes in with more than one finger, the scroll view is allowed to cancel touches. So if the user pans using two fingers, this view would get a touchesCanceled: message.
This seems to be the best resource for this question on the internet. Another close solution can be found here.
I have solved this issue in a very satisfactory manner in a different way, essentially by supplanting my own gesture recognizer into the equation. I strongly recommend that anyone who is trying to achieve the effect requested by the original poster consider this alternative over aggressive subclassing of UIScrollView.
The following process will provide:
A UIScrollView containing your custom view
Zoom and Pan with two fingers (via UIPinchGestureRecognizer)
Your view's event processing for all other touches
First, let's assume you have a view controller and its view. In IB, make the view a subview of a scrollView and adjust the resize rules of your view so that it does not resize. In the attributes of the scrollview, turn on anything that says "bounce" and turn off "delaysContentTouches". Also you must set the zoom min and max to other than the default of 1.0 for, as Apple's docs say, this is required for zooming to work.
Create a custom subclass of UIScrollView, and make this scrollview that custom subclass. Add an outlet to your view controller for the scrollview and connect them up. You're now totally configured.
You will need to add the following code to the UIScrollView subclass so that it transparently passes touch events (I suspect this could be done more elegantly, perhaps even bypassing the subclass altogether):
#pragma mark -
#pragma mark Event Passing
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
[self.nextResponder touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];
}
- (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
[self.nextResponder touchesMoved:touches withEvent:event];
}
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
[self.nextResponder touchesEnded:touches withEvent:event];
}
- (BOOL)touchesShouldCancelInContentView:(UIView *)view {
return NO;
}
Add this code to your view controller:
- (void)setupGestures {
UIPinchGestureRecognizer *pinchGesture = [[UIPinchGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(handlePinchGesture:)];
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:pinchGesture];
[pinchGesture release];
}
- (IBAction)handlePinchGesture:(UIPinchGestureRecognizer *)sender {
if ( sender.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan ) {
//Hold values
previousLocation = [sender locationInView:self.view];
previousOffset = self.scrollView.contentOffset;
previousScale = self.scrollView.zoomScale;
} else if ( sender.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateChanged ) {
//Zoom
[self.scrollView setZoomScale:previousScale*sender.scale animated:NO];
//Move
location = [sender locationInView:self.view];
CGPoint offset = CGPointMake(previousOffset.x+(previousLocation.x-location.x), previousOffset.y+(previousLocation.y-location.y));
[self.scrollView setContentOffset:offset animated:NO];
} else {
if ( previousScale*sender.scale < 1.15 && previousScale*sender.scale > .85 )
[self.scrollView setZoomScale:1.0 animated:YES];
}
}
Please note that in this method there are references to a number of properties you must define in your view controller's class files:
CGFloat previousScale;
CGPoint previousOffset;
CGPoint previousLocation;
CGPoint location;
Ok that's it!
Unfortunately I could not get the scrollView to show its scrollers during the gesture. I tried all of these strategies:
//Scroll indicators
self.scrollView.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = YES;
self.scrollView.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = YES;
[self.scrollView flashScrollIndicators];
[self.scrollView setNeedsDisplay];
One thing I really enjoyed is if you'll look at the last line you'll note that it grabs any final zooming that's around 100% and just rounds it to that. You can adjust your tolerance level; I had seen this in Pages' zoom behavior and thought it would be a nice touch.
I put this in the viewDidLoad method and this accomplishes the scroll view handling the two touch pan behavior and another pan gesture handler handling the one touch pan behavior -->
scrollView.panGestureRecognizer.minimumNumberOfTouches = 2
let panGR = UIPanGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(ViewController.handlePan(_:)))
panGR.minimumNumberOfTouches = 1
panGR.maximumNumberOfTouches = 1
scrollView.gestureRecognizers?.append(panGR)
and in the handlePan method which is a function attached to the ViewController there is simply a print statement to verify that the method is being entered -->
#IBAction func handlePan(_ sender: UIPanGestureRecognizer) {
print("Entered handlePan numberOfTuoches: \(sender.numberOfTouches)")
}
HTH
Check out my solution:
#import “JWTwoFingerScrollView.h”
#implementation JWTwoFingerScrollView
- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)coder {
self = [super initWithCoder:coder];
if (self) {
for (UIGestureRecognizer* r in self.gestureRecognizers) {
NSLog(#“%#”,[r class]);
if ([r isKindOfClass:[UIPanGestureRecognizer class]]) {
[((UIPanGestureRecognizer*)r) setMaximumNumberOfTouches:2];
[((UIPanGestureRecognizer*)r) setMinimumNumberOfTouches:2];
}
}
}
return self;
}
-(void)firstTouchTimerFired:(NSTimer*)timer {
[self setCanCancelContentTouches:NO];
}
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
[self setCanCancelContentTouches:YES];
if ([event allTouches].count == 1){
touchesBeganTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.1 target:self selector:#selector(firstTouchTimerFired:) userInfo: nil repeats:NO];
[touchesBeganTimer retain];
[touchFilter touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];
}
}
- (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
[touchFilter touchesMoved:touches withEvent:event];
}
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
NSLog(#“ended %i”,[event allTouches].count);
[touchFilter touchesEnded:touches withEvent:event];
}
-(void)touchesCancelled:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
NSLog(#“canceled %i”,[event allTouches].count);
[touchFilter touchesCancelled:touches withEvent:event];
}
#end
It does not delays the first touch and does not stop when the user touches with two fingers after using one. Still it allows to cancel a just started one touch event using a timer.
Yes, you'll need to subclass UIScrollView and override its -touchesBegan: and -touchesEnded: methods to pass touches "up". This will probably also involve the subclass having a UIView member variable so that it knows what it's meant to pass the touches up to.
Kenshi's answer in Swift 4
