This can also be done the following way.

First find the location of the touch in the view you care about:

CGPoint location = [touches.anyObject locationInView:viewYouCareAbout];

Then see if the point is within the bounds of the view:

BOOL withinBounds = CGRectContainsPoint(viewYouCareAbout.bounds, location);

This can be done with one statement, which for example, can be used directly within an if statement:

CGRectContainsPoint(viewYouCareAbout.bounds, [touches.anyObject locationInView:viewYouCareAbout])
