layer hit test only returning layer when bottom half of layer is touched

Question

I have a sublayer on a layer-backed view. The sublayer\'s contents are set to an Image Ref and is a 25x25 rect.
I perform a hit test on the super layer when the touchesBega

Answer 1

The documentation for hitTest says:

/* Returns the farthest descendant of the layer containing point 'p'.
 * Siblings are searched in top-to-bottom order. 'p' is in the
 * coordinate system of the receiver's superlayer. */

So you need to do (something like this):

CGPoint thePoint = [touch locationInView:self];
thePoint = [self.layer convertPoint:thePoint toLayer:self.layer.superlayer];
CALayer *theLayer = [self.layer hitTest:thePoint];
