Question

In my app for a specific reason i want a UIImageView touchable so that when user taps it pushes to a new view controller. I know to do the same with UIButton. But i want a UIImageView to do this now. How will i do it?
Here’s my code for UIImageView

UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(50, 100, 50, 50)];
[imageView setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"myImage.png"]];
 imageView.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
[self.view addSubview:imageView];
[imageView release];

As @Kory Sharp said you can use the UITapGestureRecognizer

UITapGestureRecognizer *tap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleTap:)];
[tap setNumberOfTapsRequired:1];
[yourImageView addGestureRecognizer: tap];

Handle the method

-(void) handleTap:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)recognizer {
    if (recognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded) {
        //push your view controller
    }
}
