Question

I have a UIPickerView and The method didSelectRow is not called when tapping on a selected row. I need to handle

Answer 1

Solution touchesBegan: / touchesEnded: worked fine for me when using iOS 4.2/4.3, but they stopped working with iOS. Finally I got this solution which may be helpful: using tap gesture recognition.

    IBOutlet UIPickerView *picker;

    [picker addGestureRecognizer:
        [[[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(pickerTapped:)] autorelease]
    ];

In this case when a user taps on picker view, the selector

    -(void)pickerTapped:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer

is invoked. Worked for me on both iOS 4.2+ / 5.0
