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

you can used this way: create extension

extension UIView {

    func addTapGesture(action : @escaping ()->Void ){
        let tap = MyTapGestureRecognizer(target: self , action: #selector(self.handleTap(_:)))
        tap.action = action
        tap.numberOfTapsRequired = 1

        self.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
        self.isUserInteractionEnabled = true

    }
    @objc func handleTap(_ sender: MyTapGestureRecognizer) {
        sender.action!()
    }
}

class MyTapGestureRecognizer: UITapGestureRecognizer {
    var action : (()->Void)? = nil
}

and use this way:

@IBOutlet weak var testView: UIView!
testView.addTapGesture{
   // ...
}
