Question

The following code doesn’t work on iOS 5 and iOS 5.1 (but works on iOS 6):

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    ...
    UILongPressGestureRecognizer* gesture = [[[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleLongPress:)] autorelease];
    [myWebView addGestureRecognizer:gesture];
}

- (void)handleLongPress:(UIGestureRecognizer*)gestureRecognizer {
  ...
}

How to fix the issue? Thanks a lot for the help!

Answer 1

The correct code:

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    UILongPressGestureRecognizer* gesture = [[[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleLongPress:)] autorelease];
    gesture.delegate = self;
    [myWebView addGestureRecognizer:gesture];
}

- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)otherGestureRecognizer {
    return YES;
}
