How to call gesture tap on UIView programmatically in swift

Question

I have a UIView and and I have added tap gesture to it:

let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector(\"handleTap:\"))
tap.delegate = self         


        

Answer 1

Swift 4

First, create an object of UITapGestureRecognizer

var tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer()

The second step is to initialise UITapGestureReconizer. Enable the user interaction, then add it.

override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
    tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(YourViewController.myviewTapped(_:)))
            infosView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
            infosView.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture)
view.addSubview(infosView)
}

Third, create a method

@objc func myviewTapped(_ recognizer: UIGestureRecognizer) {
                print("button is tapped")
            }
