Tap on the tex in UILabel

Question

I have a UILabel. I would to detect a tap only on the text of this label.

For example, I have a UILabel very large with some text in the center.

Is possible this? I can't add/use other UILabel or components.

Answer 1

Add UITapGestureRecongizer on the label:

UITapGestureRecognizer *labelTap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(actionForTap:)];
[yourLabel addGestureRecognizer:labelTap];

To make the tap active only on the text, set the uilabel text and then call:

[yourLabel sizeToFit] 

in order to make the UILabel frame as big as the text.
