Gesture Recognizers and TableView

Question

I have a UIView which covers all of a UITableView. The UIView is using gesture recognizers for control of what the table displays. I still need the vertical UITableView scrollin

Answer 1

Assign your gesture to the table view and the table will take care of it:

UISwipeGestureRecognizer *gesture = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc]
        initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleSwipeFrom:)];
[gesture setDirection:
        (UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionLeft
        |UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight)];
[tableView addGestureRecognizer:gesture];
[gesture release];

Then in your gesture action method, act based on the direction:

- (void)handleSwipeFrom:(UISwipeGestureRecognizer *)recognizer {
    if (recognizer.direction == UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionLeft) {
        [self moveLeftColumnButtonPressed:nil];
    }
    else if (recognizer.direction == UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight) {
        [self moveRightColumnButtonPressed:nil];
    }
}

The table will only pass you the gestures you have asked for after handling them internally.
