Can you attach a UIGestureRecognizer to multiple views?

Question

UITapGestureRecognizer *tapGesture = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(tapTapTap:)];
[self.view1 addGestureRecognizer:tapGesture];         


        

Answer 1

We can do something Like this, it's easy and simple

1) create function as below in your controller (this function will return GestureRecognizer)

-(UITapGestureRecognizer*)setRecognizer{
     UITapGestureRecognizer *gestureRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(openProfile)];
     [gestureRecognizer setNumberOfTapsRequired:1];
     return gestureRecognizer;
}

2) now set this recognizer in multiple views

[self.view1 addGestureRecognizer:[self setRecognizer]]; 
[self.view2 addGestureRecognizer:[self setRecognizer]];
