Listening to UITouch event along with UIGestureRecognizer

Question

I am creating a custom UIView and adding a UITapGestureRecognizer on it. I have a handler for the tap gesture. But at the same time I want my UIView to listen to touchesBega

Answer 1

You need to set cancelsTouchesInView (and likely delaysTouchesBegan and delaysTouchesEnded) to NO for the gesture recognizer. The default behavior of a gesture recognizer is to avoid having both it and the view process the touch. These settings let you fine-tune that behavior.
