How to have a UISwipeGestureRecognizer AND UIPanGestureRecognizer work on the same view

Question

How would you setup the gesture recognizers so that you could have a UISwipeGestureRecognizer and a UIPanGestureRecognizer work at the same

Answer 1

You're going to want to set one of the two UIGestureRecognizer's delegates to an object that makes sense (likely self) then listen, and return YES for this method:

- (BOOL) gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer
         shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer:
                            (UIGestureRecognizer *)otherGestureRecognizer {
    return YES;
}

This method is called when recognition of a gesture by either gestureRecognizer or otherGestureRecognizer would block the other gesture recognizer from recognizing its gesture. Note that returning YES is guaranteed to allow simultaneous recognition; returning NO, on the other hand, is not guaranteed to prevent simultaneous recognition because the other gesture recognizer's delegate may return YES.
