Question

Heres The Problem: I want to test the TapGestureRecognizer with an NSLog but the TapGestureRecognizer functions anywhere except in the UIWebView and I have no idea why…

Heres My Code:

-(void)viewDidLoad {
UITapGestureRecognizer *tapGesture = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(bookmarker:)];
tapGesture.numberOfTapsRequired = 2;
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:tapGesture];
[tapGesture release];
   }

Heres The IBAction:

-(IBAction)bookmarker:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)trecognizer{
NSLog(@"TAPPED");
}

This is the view I want it to function in:

Answer 1

I found out webviews don’t accept TapGestureRecognizer because it has its own set of gestures so to implement it:

in Header make UIGestureRecognizer delegate

(in viewDidLoad)

tapGesture.delegate = self;

Then implement:

- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)otherGestureRecognizer

{
 return YES;
}
