Question

I have a UIView and a UIWebView.

The UIWebView is a child view of the UIView.

The UIWebView contains a youtube video and is set as to let the video fit to the UIWebView.

I have a UITapGesture associated with the parent UIView for single tap, say, if a user single tap the whole view, it will invoke A.

So, when the UIWebView loads the youtube video, there is a button on top of the video waiting for users to click to play. But now if I click the button, the youtube is played, but also the A is invoked too. This is what I don’t want.

How should I solve it?

I thought the touch/tap event should be in a order and if the button is clicked, it should absorb the event and not give the UIView any more.

I also tried to add another UIView under the UIWebView, and attach that gesture to the underlying view. However, it still doesn’t work.

How can I do to let the button over the youtube video independent?

thanks

Try add this code in your view’s .m file (if you are using UIView, subclass it):

- (UIView *)hitTest:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    CGPoint p = [self convertPoint:point toView:webView];
    if ([webView pointInside:p withEvent:event]) {
        return [webView hitTest:p withEvent:event];
    }
    return [super hitTest:point withEvent:event];
}

Since I did not try this code, tell me if it doesn’t work. There are still many ways to deal with the situation. 🙂
