I have added Long Tap gesture on UIWebView. But I want UIWebView to process a standard Tap event before my Long Tap will be recognized. (Two gestures should be processed on Long Tap - a simple Tap and my Long Tap). How to do this?
I think it's required to send Tap event to UIWebView on TouchBegin. Is it correct?
The correct code:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
UILongPressGestureRecognizer* gesture = [[[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(handleLongPress:)] autorelease];
gesture.delegate = self;
[myWebView addGestureRecognizer:gesture];
}
- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)otherGestureRecognizer {
return YES;
}
Please refer this section UIGestureRecognizerDelegate
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/UIGestureRecognizerDelegate_Protocol/Reference/Reference.html
you found this is called when 2 gesture simultaneous work.
gestureRecognizer:shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer:
I'm using UILongPressGestureRecognizer class to handle if one item is being selected.
The logic is as follows: User press during 1 second an item (UIView subclass). Once the gesture is detected, the item is highlighted and moveable.
The user must move this item across the screen without stop touching it.
The problem I'm facing is the gesture recognized shadows touchesBegan/Move/Ended necessary for the item class to arrange the movement.
I tried to remove the gesture recognized once is detected and the item selected. But still sending messages to the handle of gesture instead of call touches methods.
Anyone knows any way to stop "listening" the gesture recognizer without leave the finger of the screen?
Thanks.
Here the code:
-(void)addGestures
{
UILongPressGestureRecognizer *longPress = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc]
initWithTarget:self
action:#selector(handleLongPress:)];
longPress.minimumPressDuration = iItemLongPressTime;
[self addGestureRecognizer:longPress];
[longPress release];
}
- (void)handleLongPress:(UILongPressGestureRecognizer*)sender {
if (sender.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded) {
NSLog(#"Long press Ended");
}
else {
if (self.isSelected) return;
if ([delegate respondsToSelector:#selector(singleTouch:)])
[delegate singleTouch:self];
[self removeGestureRecognizer:[self.gestureRecognizers objectAtIndex:0]];
NSLog(#"Long press detected.");
}
}
As you can see in the else branch the delegate calls enables all procedures to mark this item as selected, and just after remove the recognizers.
What I'm missing?
--EDIT--
Done! This works:
#pragma mark Gesture Functions
-(void)addGestures
{
UILongPressGestureRecognizer *longPress = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc]
initWithTarget:self
action:#selector(handleLongPress:)];
longPress.minimumPressDuration = iItemLongPressTime;
[self addGestureRecognizer:longPress];
[longPress release];
}
- (void)handleLongPress:(UILongPressGestureRecognizer*)sender {
if (sender.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded) {
NSLog(#"Long press Ended");
}
else {
NSLog(#"Long press detected.");
if (self.isSelected) return;
if ([delegate respondsToSelector:#selector(singleTouch:)])
[delegate singleTouch:self];
[sender removeTarget:self action:#selector(handleLongPress:)];
sender.enabled = NO;
[self removeGestureRecognizer:sender];
}
}
Regards!
Does the custom UIView class have its own touch handling code? If not, a simple solution is to set the allowableMovement property of the UILongPressGestureRecognizer to CGFLOAT_MAX, or some big number, and use the gesture update callbacks to drag your custom view around. You can get the displacement using the - (CGPoint)locationInView:(UIView *)view method on the superview, and compare its position to when the recognizer began.
There are two solutions in my mind.
For animating uiview, please wrote a new class which is inherited from the UIView class and implement the touch delegates instead of writing the Gustures to handle animation(if the touch delegates are not triggering in the current class).
2.I have successfully removed the UILongPressGestureRecognizer after triggered it once.
Please refer the below code .ask me if you have any queries
Steps I have Done
I have added a UIView as "myView" to my main-view when main-view loads.
I have given the Tag to the myView (you can give 1,2,3…etc) to differentiate the tapped view from the main-view subviews.
Assigned the UILongPressGestureRecognizer gesture to myView and assigned target as "moveMe" method.
When user Pressed the myView long, the "moveMe" method will trigger.
Then I iterated the mainView Subviews with the condition Tag == 1
I have removed the UILongPressGestureRecognizer from the subview.As we can know that Tagged 1 main-view subView is myView.
So the NSLog(#"gesture removed"); and NSLog(#"moveMe"); will log in console only at one time.
The NSLog(#"touchesBegan"); will trigger first instead of triggering the "moveMe" method.
Then NSLog(#"touchesBegan"); will trigger always after removed the gesture . "moveMe" method will not trigger ever.
Code
- (void)viewDidLoad {
//Adding to UIView to main view when application is loading.
UIView *myView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 20, 80, 80)];
myView.backgroundColor = [UIColor viewFlipsideBackgroundColor];
myView.tag = 1; //adding a tag to identify it.
//Adding Long Press Gesture to the UIView.
UILongPressGestureRecognizer *myGesture = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(moveMe:)];
[myView addGestureRecognizer:myGesture];
[myGesture release];
myGesture = nil;
[self.view addSubview:myView];
[myView release];
myView = nil;
[super viewDidLoad];
}
//Method to trigger when user pressed long on the added UIView.
-(void)moveMe:(id)sender
{
for (UIView *subViews in [self.view subviews])
{
if (subViews.tag == 1) {
[subViews removeGestureRecognizer:sender];
NSLog(#"gesture removed");
}
}
NSLog(#"moveMe");
}
-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
NSLog(#"touchesBegan");
}

I've got an app that displays a page of text with the ability to tap a button or swipe in a view to advance or retreat through various pages. The container view has two UISwipeGestureRecognizers attached, for swipe left and swipe right. No trouble with these gestures. But now I'm trying to add UITapGestureRecognizer to another view, providing an ability similar to iBooks or the Kindle app, tap the left to go back, the right to go forward. Nothing I do can get the gesture to fire. No hint that it is ever being triggered, even if I put the gesture on my topmost view and disable other gestures.
The view controller implements UIGestureRecognizerDelegate, though I've not needed to implement delegate methods. I did try implementing shouldReceiveTouch: without success.
Here's a snippet of code where I create and attach the gesture recognizer:
UITapGestureRecognizer *recognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(tapGestureTurnPage:)];
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:recognizer];
[recognizer release];
Try this on the view you're adding the gesture recognizers:
view.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
You mention that you've tried this, but just in case go through it again.
Try using the delegate with <UIGestureRecognizerDelegate> in the header and then setting the delegate:
UITapGestureRecognizer *recognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(tapGestureTurnPage:)];
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:recognizer];
recognizer.delegate = self;
[recognizer release];
Then implement this method:
- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer
shouldReceiveTouch:(UITouch *)touch {
return YES;
}
Then use a debugger or toss an NSLog into the above method and also tapGestureTurnPage: to see if these methods are being called.
Add this where you initialize the gesture:
recognizer.delegate = self;
and add this in the "self" class:
- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)otherGestureRecognizer
{
return YES;
}
This allows me to have gestures recognized on the UIWebView, and the UIWebView will still respond to the taps. (which i wanted - you may not)
I'd like to implement a gesture recognizer (swipe action) for a button. The problem is, the buttons are create programmatically and are or aren't existent based on a few conditions. So, I don't know if there are buttons, or how many.
I know I need something like:
- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldReceiveTouch:(UITouch *)touch {
if (touch.view == aButtonView) {
//get the button's tag
}
}
Of course, the if-statement should return Yes when any button view is pressed...
Anyone has any idea on what the word aButtonView should be? Or if it's even possible? Thanks in advance.
You should think about using UISwipeGestureRecognizer instances. Attach the gesture recognizer to the button objects -
UISwipeGestureRecognizer *swipe = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self
action:#selector(handleSwipe:)];
swipe.direction = UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionUp;
[button addGestureRecognizer:swipe];
[swipe release];
and in handleSwipe:
- (void) handleSwipe:(UISwipeGestureRecognizer *)swipe {
NSInteger tag = swipe.view.tag;
}
it should be if ( [gestureRecognizer.view isKindOfClass:[UIButton class]] ) {
I want to dismiss a FormSheetPresentation modal view controller when the user taps outside the modal view...I have seen a bunch of apps doing this (ebay on ipad for example) but i cant figure out how since the underneath views are disabled from touches when modal views are displayed like this (are they presenting it as a popover perhaps?)...anyone have any suggestions?
I'm a year late, but this is pretty straightforward to do.
Have your modal view controller attach a gesture recognizer to the view's window:
UITapGestureRecognizer *recognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(handleTapBehind:)];
[recognizer setNumberOfTapsRequired:1];
recognizer.cancelsTouchesInView = NO; //So the user can still interact with controls in the modal view
[self.view.window addGestureRecognizer:recognizer];
[recognizer release];
The handling code:
- (void)handleTapBehind:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)sender
{
if (sender.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded)
{
CGPoint location = [sender locationInView:nil]; //Passing nil gives us coordinates in the window
//Then we convert the tap's location into the local view's coordinate system, and test to see if it's in or outside. If outside, dismiss the view.
if (![self.view pointInside:[self.view convertPoint:location fromView:self.view.window] withEvent:nil])
{
// Remove the recognizer first so it's view.window is valid.
[self.view.window removeGestureRecognizer:sender];
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
}
}
That's about it. HIG be damned, this is a useful and often intuitive behavior.
For iOS 8, you must both implement the UIGestureRecognizer, and swap the (x,y) coordinates of the tapped location when in landscape orientation. Not sure if this is due to an iOS 8 bug.
- (void) viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewDidAppear:animated];
// add gesture recognizer to window
UITapGestureRecognizer *recognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(handleTapBehind:)];
[recognizer setNumberOfTapsRequired:1];
recognizer.cancelsTouchesInView = NO; //So the user can still interact with controls in the modal view
[self.view.window addGestureRecognizer:recognizer];
recognizer.delegate = self;
}
- (void)handleTapBehind:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)sender
{
if (sender.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded) {
// passing nil gives us coordinates in the window
CGPoint location = [sender locationInView:nil];
// swap (x,y) on iOS 8 in landscape
if (SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(#"8.0")) {
if (UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape([UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation)) {
location = CGPointMake(location.y, location.x);
}
}
// convert the tap's location into the local view's coordinate system, and test to see if it's in or outside. If outside, dismiss the view.
if (![self.view pointInside:[self.view convertPoint:location fromView:self.view.window] withEvent:nil]) {
// remove the recognizer first so it's view.window is valid
[self.view.window removeGestureRecognizer:sender];
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
}

The other apps are not using Modal Views if they allow the view to be dismissed by clicking outside of it. UIModalPresentationFormSheets cannot be dismissed this way. (nor, indeed can any UIModal in SDK3.2). Only the UIPopoverController can be dismissed by clicking outside of the area. It is very possible (though against Apple's iPad HIG) for the app developer to have shaded out the background screen and then displayed the UIPopoverController so that it looks like a UIModalPresentationFormSheets (or other UIModal View).
[...] UIModalPresentationCurrentContext style lets a view controller adopt the presentation style of its parent. In each modal view, the dimmed areas show the underlying content but do not allow taps in that content. Therefore, unlike a popover, your modal views must still have controls that allow the user to dismiss the modal view.
See the iPadProgrammingGuide on the developer site for more information (Page 46 -- "Configuring the Presentation Style for Modal Views")
The code above works great, but I would change the if statement to,
if (!([self.view pointInside:[self.view convertPoint:location fromView:self.view.window] withEvent:nil] || [self.navigationController.view pointInside:[self.navigationController.view convertPoint:location fromView:self.navigationController.view.window] withEvent:nil]))
{
// Remove the recognizer first so it's view.window is valid.
[self.view.window removeGestureRecognizer:sender];
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
This makes sure you can still interact with the navigation bar, otherwise tapping in it dismisses the modal view.
Answer updated for iOS 8
Apparently, in iOS 8, the UIDimmingView has a tap gesture recognizer, which interferes with the initial implementation, so we ignore it and don't require it to fail.
This is the age of speed, so most are probably just copying the code above.. But, I suffer from OCD when it comes to code, unfortunately.
Here is a modular solution that uses Danilo Campos's answer with categories. It also solves an important bug that may occur if you are dismissing your modal through other means, as mentioned.
NOTE: The if statements are there because I use the view controller for both iPhone and iPad, and only the iPad needs to register/unregister.
UPDATE: The gist has been updated, since it didn't work properly with the awesome FCOverlay code, and it didn't allow gestures to be recognized in the presented view. Those issues are fixed.
Using the category is as easy as:
- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewDidAppear:animated];
if (self.presentingViewController) {
[self registerForDismissOnTapOutside];
}
}
- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
if (self.presentingViewController) {
[self unregisterForDismissOnTapOutside];
}
[super viewWillDisappear:animated];
}
Copy paste this code in your ModalViewController :
- (void) viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewDidAppear:animated];
//Code for dissmissing this viewController by clicking outside it
UITapGestureRecognizer *recognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(handleTapBehind:)];
[recognizer setNumberOfTapsRequired:1];
recognizer.cancelsTouchesInView = NO; //So the user can still interact with controls in the modal view
[self.view.window addGestureRecognizer:recognizer];
}
- (void)handleTapBehind:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)sender
{
if (sender.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded)
{
CGPoint location = [sender locationInView:nil]; //Passing nil gives us coordinates in the window
//Then we convert the tap's location into the local view's coordinate system, and test to see if it's in or outside. If outside, dismiss the view.
if (![self.view pointInside:[self.view convertPoint:location fromView:self.view.window] withEvent:nil])
{
// Remove the recognizer first so it's view.window is valid.
[self.view.window removeGestureRecognizer:sender];
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
}
}
Very important: If you have any other way to close your modal popup window, don't forget to remove the tap gesture recognizer!
I forgot this, and got crazy crashes later on, since the tap recognizer was still firing events.
Accoring to Apple's iOS HIG, 1. the modal view doesn't have that ability to be dismissed without any input on itself; 2. use modal view in the situation that a user input is required.
Use UIPresentationController instead:
- (void)presentationTransitionWillBegin
{
[super presentationTransitionWillBegin];
UITapGestureRecognizer *dismissGesture=[[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc]initWithTarget:self action:#selector(dismissGestureTapped:)];
[self.containerView addGestureRecognizer:dismissGesture];
[[[self presentedViewController] transitionCoordinator] animateAlongsideTransition:^(id<UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinatorContext> context) {
} completion:nil];
}
- (void) dismissGestureTapped:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)sender{
if (sender.state==UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded&&!CGRectContainsPoint([self frameOfPresentedViewInContainerView], [sender locationInView:sender.view])) {
[self.presentingViewController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
Modified from LookInside example
This works for me for ios7 an 8 and navigation bar.
If you don't need the nav bar just remove location2 and second condition in the if statement after the pipes.
#MiQUEL this should work for you too
- (void)handleTapBehind:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)sender
{
if (sender.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded)
{
CGPoint location1 = [sender locationInView:self.view];
CGPoint location2 = [sender locationInView:self.navigationController.view];
if (!([self.view pointInside:location1 withEvent:nil] || [self.navigationController.view pointInside:location2 withEvent:nil])) {
[self.view.window removeGestureRecognizer:self.recognizer];
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
}
Edit: You may also need to be a gesture recognizer delegate for this and other above solutions to work. Do it like so:
#interface CommentTableViewController () <UIGestureRecognizerDelegate>
set yourself as the delegate for the recognizer:
self.recognizer.delegate = self;
and implement this delegate method:
- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)otherGestureRecognizer{
return YES;
}
It is pretty doable.

It is a NavigationController (modal) that auto dismiss for ipad (when you tap outside)
Use your viewcontroller inside of it.
Hope it helps.
I know it's late but consider using CleanModal (tested with iOS 7 and 8).

You can use MZFormSheetController like this:
MZFormSheetController *formSheet = [[MZFormSheetController alloc] initWithSize:customSize viewController:presentedViewController];
formSheet.shouldDismissOnBackgroundViewTap = YES;
[presentingViewController mz_presentFormSheetController:formSheet animated:YES completionHandler:nil];
In Swift 2/Xcode Version 7.2 (7C68) the following code worked for me.
Attention: this code should be put in the ViewController.swift file of the presented FormSheet or Page Sheet, here: "PageSheetViewController.swift"
class PageSheetViewController: UIViewController, UIGestureRecognizerDelegate {
override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
let recognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action:Selector("handleTapBehind:"))
recognizer.delegate = self
recognizer.numberOfTapsRequired = 1
recognizer.cancelsTouchesInView = false
self.view.window?.addGestureRecognizer(recognizer)
}
func gestureRecognizer(sender: UIGestureRecognizer,
shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer:UIGestureRecognizer) -> Bool {
return true
}
func handleTapBehind(sender:UIGestureRecognizer) {
if(sender.state == UIGestureRecognizerState.Ended){
var location:CGPoint = sender.locationInView(nil)
// detect iOS Version 8.0 or greater
let Device = UIDevice.currentDevice()
let iosVersion = Double(Device.systemVersion) ?? 0
let iOS8 = iosVersion >= 8
if (iOS8) {
// in landscape view you will have to swap the location coordinates
if(UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarOrientation)){
location = CGPointMake(location.y, location.x);
}
}
if(!self.view.pointInside(self.view.convertPoint(location, fromView: self.view.window), withEvent: nil)){
self.view.window?.removeGestureRecognizer(sender)
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}
}
}
}
