Long press gesture on UICollectionViewCell

Question

I was wondering how to add a long press gesture recognizer to a (subclass of) UICollectionView. I read in the documentation that it is added by default, but I can\'t figure

Answer 1

The same code @abbood's code for Swift:

In viewDidLoad:

let lpgr : UILongPressGestureRecognizer = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "handleLongPress:")
lpgr.minimumPressDuration = 0.5
lpgr.delegate = self
lpgr.delaysTouchesBegan = true
self.collectionView?.addGestureRecognizer(lpgr)

And the function:

func handleLongPress(gestureRecognizer : UILongPressGestureRecognizer){

    if (gestureRecognizer.state != UIGestureRecognizerState.Ended){
        return
    }

    let p = gestureRecognizer.locationInView(self.collectionView)

    if let indexPath : NSIndexPath = (self.collectionView?.indexPathForItemAtPoint(p))!{
        //do whatever you need to do
    }

}

Do not forget the delegate UIGestureRecognizerDelegate
