Question

Is there a way of completely removing all UIGestureRecognisers from any UIObject such as a UItextView? I tried this but it doesn’t work:

[photoView removeGestureRecognizer:[photoView.gestureRecognizers objectAtIndex:0]];

NOTE: I don’t want to disable them because I would like to assign other gestures recognizers in future.

Answer 1

If you want to remove all, instead of just:

[photoView removeGestureRecognizer:[photoView.gestureRecognizers objectAtIndex:0]];

You could:

while ([photoView.gestureRecognizers count] > 0)
    [photoView removeGestureRecognizer:[photoView.gestureRecognizers objectAtIndex:0]];

By the way, be aware that some standard text controls will recreate gesture recognizers as you enter and exit editing mode, so you might have to repeat this process accordingly.
