How to detect any Touch in a UIView?

Question

I have this code and the method is not called, what can I do? I need a delegate?

-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {

    UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];

    if ([touch view] == self.view)
    {

    }

}

Answer 1

You are not using this code in your UIView .

This is a delegate of the UIResponder class and UIView inherits itself from UIResponder . Hence this method is called if it is defined in a UIView class and not in the UIViewController .

Moreover, if it being the code in your UIView , you won't need to check the view as it is THAT VIEW . Because if the view takes touches, you are sure that it is the right view :)

Answer 2

Try to add userInteractionEnabled = YES to your UIView.

Or maybe another view is catching the event.
