Question

In my application, I want to select UIView programmatically.
How can I select UIView programmatically?

If(UIView is selected programmatically || UIView is tapped){

          invoke tapGesture Action
}

Is it possible?

Answer 1

UIView itself doesn’t support selection, although some subclasses do. For example, UITableViewCell has a selected property that modifies how the cell draws itself.

If you want to mimic what happens when a user taps a view, you’ll do two things:

• Provide the same feedback that the user would see if she tapped that view. This might mean redrawing the view, performing an animation,playing a sound, or some combination of those.

• Perform the same action that would happen if the user tapped the view.

So, if the view is a button, you might set its highlighted state to YES, wait maybe 0.2 seconds, and then set it back to its previous state. Next, invoke the button’s action on the button’s target.
