I have a bunch of UIViews like in the image below. The red/pink (semi-transparent) view is on top of the others.
- Red has a
UISwipeGestureRecognizer. - Green has as a
UITapGestureRecognizer. - Blue has no recognizer.
A tap on the visible (bottom-left) part of Green trigger its recognizer.
A tap on the hidden parts of Green does not trigger its recognizer (Red blocks it).
That's the problem: I want Green to trigger. How can I do this?
In practice, the views may be in any order, any number and be subviews of each others etc. But the problem is the same:
How can I reliably find the uppermost view that can handle the gesture (tap or swipe)?
I tried with the code below. It neatly traverses all views, but it fails since it cannot know if the event is part of a swipe or a tap. So the method always returns the red view. If I remove the swipe-recognizer from Red, the code works correctly.
- (UIView*)hitTest:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
UIView *hitView = [super hitTest:point withEvent:event];
if (hitView == self)
{
if (self.hasASwipeRecognizer)
return self; // What if this was a tap?
if (self.hasATapRecognizer)
return self;
else
return nil;
}
else
return hitView;
}
