Question

I am trying to detect two finger touch on a UIImageView object. In xib I had set multi-touch enbled.
Then I implemented the following code:

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    //NSLog(@"%@", [[touches anyObject] class]);
    UITouch* touch = [touches anyObject];
    NSLog(@"%@", [touch class]);
    if ([touches count] > 1)
        NSLog(@"multi touches: %d fingers", [touches count]);

    NSUInteger numTaps = [touch tapCount];

    if (numTaps == 1) {
        NSLog(@"single tap");
    } else {
        NSLog(@"multi tap: %d", numTaps);
    }
}

What actually happning with this code is: This is detecting multiple taps not multi-touch. How can I detect that user touched on object with two finger(Multi-Touch).

Thanks

Use gestureRecognizers like this:

UITapGestureRecognizer *twoFingerTap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(doubleFingerTap:)];
twoFingerTap.numberOfTouchesRequired = 2;
[super addGestureRecognizers:twoFingerTap];
