Can you attach a UIGestureRecognizer to multiple views?

Question

UITapGestureRecognizer *tapGesture = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(tapTapTap:)];
[self.view1 addGestureRecognizer:tapGesture];         


        

Answer 1

You can do it using this code my views which are imageviews in the xib.

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    firstIV.tag = 501;
    secondIV.tag = 502;
    thirdIV.tag = 503;
    forthIV.tag = 504;

    [self addTapGesturetoImageView: firstIV];
    [self addTapGesturetoImageView: secondIV];
    [self addTapGesturetoImageView: thirdIV];
    [self addTapGesturetoImageView: forthIV];
}

-(void)addTapGesturetoImageView:(UIImageView*)iv
{
    iv.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
    UITapGestureRecognizer * textfielBGIVTapGasture = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(textfielBGIVTapped:)];
    textfielBGIVTapGasture.numberOfTapsRequired = 1;
    [iv addGestureRecognizer:textfielBGIVTapGasture];
}

- (void)textfielBGIVTapped:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)recognizer {
    int tag = recognizer.view.tag-500;
    switch (tag) {
        case 1:
        {
            //firstIV tapped;
            break;
        }
        case 2:
        {
            //secondIV tapped;
            break;
        }
        case 3:
        {
            //thirdIV tapped;
            break;
        }
        case 4:
        {
            //forthIV tapped;
            break;
        }
        default: {
            break;
        }
    }
}
