Question

A UIWebView is normally focused on the selected content when I double tap a part of a website, and now I want the UIWebView to ignore the double tap but still be able to be interacted with.

How would I go about this?

Answer 1

The Double Tap is recognized by a UITapGestureRecognizer.
Go through the view hierarchy if you really want this.
A little bit tricky, but it should work.

The codes look like this:

- (void)goThroughSubViewFrom:(UIView *)view {
    for (UIView *v in [view subviews])
    {
        if (v != view)
        {
            [self goThroughSubViewFrom:v];
        }
    }
    for (UIGestureRecognizer *reco in [view gestureRecognizers])
    {
        if ([reco isKindOfClass:[UITapGestureRecognizer class]])
        {
            if ([(UITapGestureRecognizer *)reco numberOfTapsRequired] == 2)
            {
                [view removeGestureRecognizer:reco];
            }
        }
    }
}

I’ve put a demo here: NoDoubleTapWebView

Hope it helps.
