How do I implement the UITapGestureRecognizer into my application

Question

I am quite new to programming and Objective C. I was wondering how to make an app which has a blank screen and a timer that goes for one minute. You are meant to tap as fast

Answer 1

Example in Swift:

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet var myUIImageView: UIImageView!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        let singleTap: UITapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "myUIImageViewTapped:")
        singleTap.numberOfTapsRequired = 1
        singleTap.numberOfTouchesRequired = 1
        self.myUIImageView.addGestureRecognizer(singleTap)
        self.myUIImageView.userInteractionEnabled = true
    }

    func myUIImageViewTapped(recognizer: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
        if(recognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerState.Ended){
            println("myUIImageView has been tapped by the user.")
        }
    }

}
