UIGestureRecognizer - detecting tap and drag like trackpad

Question

Is there any way to cascade UIGestureRecognizers to detect a tap and then drag. For example, I want to detect when the user taps and then drags his finger around.

Answer 1

although i haven't found the solution the way i expected, i found a better solution.

By just using UILongPressGrstureRecognizer, it is surprising that it is able to implement tap and drag.

You have to:

1. set the numberOfTapsRequired to 1 to detect the initial tap.
2. set the minimumDuration something smaller to detect drags quicker without waiting

e.g.:

UILongPressGestureRecognizer *mouseDrag = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleDrag:)];
mouseDrag.numberOfTapsRequired=1;
mouseDrag.minimumPressDuration=0.05;
[clickLeft requireGestureRecognizerToFail:mouseDrag];

to handle the drag, you must determine the state to handle it appropriately as a continuous gesture.
