I have set up some gesture recognition in an app that I'm building. One of the gestures is a single finger single tap, which hides the toolbar at the top of the screen. Works great except for one thing: a tap on a link causes the toolbar to go away, too.
Is it possible to detect a tap that was not a tap on a link? Could I do this by seeing where the tap occurred, and only take action if it didn't occur on an html link? Is this is possible, a pointer to how to determine if a link was tapped would be helpful.
Per Octys suggestion, I did attempt to wrap the UIWebView inside a UIView. I'm using interface builder, so I inserted a view in the hierarchy, and made the UIWebView a "child" of the new UIView. The hierarchy looks like this now:
I added an IBOutlet for the view in my view controller, and linked it up in interface builder.
I changed the gesture recognizer setup to look like this:
UITapGestureRecognizer* singleTap=[[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc]initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleSingleTap:)];
singleTap.numberOfTouchesRequired=1;
singleTap.delegate=self;
[self.UIWebViewContainer addGestureRecognizer:singleTap];
[singleTap release];
This code resides in viewDidLoad.
As before, the code correctly sees a single finger single tap, but a tap on a link in the UIWebView also causes the toolbar to go away. I only want the toolbar to go away if a link was NOT tapped.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you.
