ios - Limit Gesture Recognizer to Only One Specific UIView? -

i have uiview called myview on myviewcontroller. have uigesturerecognizer called swipeleft (code below) detects when user swipes left on it.

the problem is: myviewcontroller recognises same gesture on whole screen , performs action. app perform mymethod when swipeleft in particular area of myviewcontroller, area being myview.

uiswipegesturerecognizer *swipeleft = [[uiswipegesturerecognizer alloc] initwithtarget:self                                                            action:@selector(mymethod:)]; swipeleft.direction = uiswipegesturerecognizerdirectionleft; swipeleft.delaystouchesbegan = yes; [self.myview addgesturerecognizer:swipeleft]; 

more details: using residemenu , myviewcontroller right menu, when visible, whole view of myviewcontroller recognises swipes in directions. change recogniser in particular uiview myview.

thanks!

first need add swipe gesture view controllers header file.

@property (strong, nonatomic) uiswipegesturerecognizer *swipeleft; 

if in demorootviewcontroller.m, see call:

self.rightmenuviewcontroller = [self.storyboard instantiateviewcontrollerwithidentifier:@"rightmenuviewcontroller"]; 

this call awakefromnib, , it's first chance something. in here create swipe gesture. can not add view yet though, because outlets not set @ point. first time set in viewdidload, that's add gesture view. add view controllers implementation file

- (void)awakefromnib {     self.swipeleft = [[uiswipegesturerecognizer alloc]initwithtarget:self action:@selector(mymethod:)];    }  - (void)viewdidload {     [super viewdidload];      [self.swipeview addgesturerecognizer:self.swipeleft]; }  - (void)mymethod:(uiswipegesturerecognizer *)swipe {     nslog(@"did swipe") ; } 

finally need tell pan gesture in residemenu.m fail whenever our swipeleft gesture occurs. way add following code residemenu.m @ line 220. that's @ end of viewdidload method.

if ([self.rightmenuviewcontroller iskindofclass:[demovc class]]) {             demovc *rightvc = (demovc *)self.rightmenuviewcontroller;             if (rightvc.swipeleft) {                 [pangesturerecognizer requiregesturerecognizertofail:rightvc.swipegesture];             } } } 

this assuming custom vc called demovc. need import custom vc residemenu.m this:

#import "demovc.h" 

please let me know if worked out you, , if there's else can with.
