Converting beginTouches and endTouches to ccBeginTouch and ccEndTouch - iphone

Question

I'm converting the game I'm working on from UIkit to coocos2d. Using UIKIT I would use the code below code to pass the touch evens to a method. What would be the equivalent in Cocos2d?
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
// Save the position
for (UITouch *touch in touches) {
// Send to the dispatch method, which will make sure the appropriate subview is acted upon
[self dispatchFirstTouchAtPoint:[touch locationInView:boardView] forEvent:nil];
}
}
// Saves the first position for reference when the user lets go.
- (void) dispatchFirstTouchAtPoint:(CGPoint)touchPoint forEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
beginTouchPoint = touchPoint;
}
// Handles the continuation of a touch.
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
for (UITouch *touch in touches) {
// Send to the dispatch method, which will make sure the appropriate subview is acted upon
[self dispatchTouchEndEvent:[touch view] toPosition:[touch locationInView:boardView]];
}
}
-(void) dispatchTouchEndEvent:(UIView *)theView toPosition:(CGPoint)position
{ id sender;
int directionSwiped;
int row,column;
CGFloat xDelta = position.x - beginTouchPoint.x;
CGFloat yDelta = position.y - beginTouchPoint.y;
[self findSwipeDirectionWith: xDelta and: yDelta];
}
What would be the equivalent using cocos2d?
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
// Save the position
for (UITouch *touch in touches) {
// Send to the dispatch method, which will make sure the appropriate subview is acted upon
[self dispatchFirstTouchAtPoint:[touch locationInView:boardView] forEvent:nil];
}
}
// Saves the first position for reference when the user lets go.
- (void) dispatchFirstTouchAtPoint:(CGPoint)touchPoint forEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
beginTouchPoint = touchPoint;
}
// Handles the continuation of a touch.
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
for (UITouch *touch in touches) {
// Send to the dispatch method, which will make sure the appropriate subview is acted upon
[self dispatchTouchEndEvent:[touch view] toPosition:[touch locationInView:boardView]];
}
}
-(void) dispatchTouchEndEvent:(UIView *)theView toPosition:(CGPoint)position
{ id sender;
int directionSwiped;
int row,column;
CGFloat xDelta = position.x - beginTouchPoint.x;
CGFloat yDelta = position.y - beginTouchPoint.y;
[self findSwipeDirectionWith: xDelta and: yDelta];
}
I've tried to figure this out on my own, and I've spent hours on google, but I haven't come up with a workable solution.

I figured it out. I discovered that, what I was forgetting to do, was to add:
self.isTouchEnabled = YES;
to the Layer's init method.
After I did that the following code worked for me (beginTouchPoint and endTouchPoint are properties of the class):
-(void)ccTouchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
UITouch* myTouch = [touches anyObject];
CGPoint location = [myTouch locationInView: [myTouch view]];
beginTouchPoint = [[CCDirector sharedDirector]convertToGL:location];
}
// Handles the continuation of a touch.*
-(void) ccTouchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event{
static BOOL isFirstTouch = YES;
UITouch* myTouch = [touches anyObject];
int row,column;
int directionSwiped;
CGPoint location = [myTouch locationInView: [myTouch view]];
endTouchPoint = [[CCDirector sharedDirector]convertToGL:location];
CGFloat xDelta = endTouchPoint.x - beginTouchPoint.x;
CGFloat yDelta = endTouchPoint.y - beginTouchPoint.y;
[self findSwipeDirectionWith: xDelta and: yDelta];
}
