Swift: Long Press Gesture Recognizer - Detect taps and Long Press

Question

I want to wire an action such that if the gesture is a tap, it does animates an object in a particular way but if the press duration was more than .5 secs it does something

Answer 1

Through code without interface builder

// Global variables declaration
var longPressed = false
var selectedRow = 0



override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()  
        let longPressGesture = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(ContactListTableViewController.handleLongPress(_:)))
        longPressGesture.minimumPressDuration = 1.0 // 1 second press
        longPressGesture.allowableMovement = 15 // 15 points
        longPressGesture.delegate = self
        self.tableView.addGestureRecognizer(longPressGesture)
    }

// Long tap work goes here !!
if (longPressed == true) {

       if(tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath)?.accessoryType == .Checkmark){
                tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath)?.accessoryType = .None
                self.selectedRow -= 1

                if(self.selectedRow == 0){
                    self.longPressed = false
                }

            } else {
                self.selectedRow += 1
                tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath)?.accessoryType = .Checkmark
            }

        } else if(self.selectedRow == 0) {
          // Single tape work goes here !!
        }

But the only problem is the long press gesture runs two times. If you have found any solution do comment below !
