Handling touches inside UIWebview

Question

I have created a subclass of UIWebView , and have implemented the touchesBegan, touchesMoved and touchesEnded methods.

If you want to detect your own taps but disable the UIWebView's taps then you can use my solution:

-(void)recursivelyDisableTapsOnView:(UIView*)v{
    for(UIView* view in v.subviews){
        for(UIGestureRecognizer* g in view.gestureRecognizers){
            if(g == self.ownTapRecognizer){
                continue;
            }
            if([g isKindOfClass:[UITapGestureRecognizer class]] ||
               [g isKindOfClass:[UILongPressGestureRecognizer class]] ||
               [g isKindOfClass:NSClassFromString(@"UITapAndAHalfRecognizer")]){
                g.enabled = NO;
            }
        }
        [self recursivelyDisableTapsOnView:view];
    }
}


- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView{
    [self recursivelyDisableTapsOnView:webView];

    //disable selection
    [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"document.documentElement.style.webkitUserSelect='none';"];
    // Disable callout
    [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"document.documentElement.style.webkitTouchCallout='none';"];
}
