UIView touch event in controller

Question

How can I add UIView touchbegin action or touchend action programmatically as Xcode is not providing from Main.storyboard?

Answer 1

For swift 4

@IBOutlet weak var someView: UIView!  
let gesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action:  #selector (self.someAction (_:)))
self.someView.addGestureRecognizer(gesture)

@objc func someAction(_ sender:UITapGestureRecognizer){
    print("view was clicked")
}
